More and more dental offices are booked months in advance and are operating with a limited staff. Dentists expect hygienists to deliver thorough cleanings but with less time allotted for each procedure. I would like to discuss ways to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality. The demands of life make it challenging to keep up with new and innovative technology. I would like to cover the latest technological advancements and products that could lead to better patient outcomes. Finally, I want to address personal health and wellness, which is essential for career longevity. In addition to exploring in-office and home yoga techniques, I would like to conduct a deep dive into anatomy, helping hygienists understand why their bodies hurt and exploring natural options to help them feel their best and perform at their highest level. After the CE webinar you can expect to offer new, highly sought-after services that help keep dental patients from escaping your practice.

This compelling CE webinar highlights the top three infection control missteps that occur in dental settings, often without detection. Infection prevention is essential for safe and high-quality dental care, yet many practices may be unknowingly falling short. Explore the causes and consequences of poor waterline maintenance, improper sterilization practices, and incomplete documentation. Through real-world examples and practical tips, attendees will learn how to close these gaps and implement solutions, including digital alternatives, that enhance compliance and efficiency. This webinar empowers dental professionals to raise their infection prevention game with actionable next steps to provide meaningful improvements.

This one-hour CE webinar will focus on utilizing modern technology to treat a variety of clinical scenarios. The diagnosis and treatment planning will involve facial and intra-oral scanning, digital photography, 3D printed models and CBCT. The digital avatars will be uploaded into the lab design software to help communicate hard and soft tissue position relative to the patients face, and ideal tooth position will be established. The case studies will be presented in a step-by-step process so attendees will be able to visualize the process and repeat it in their own practice.


Restorative Materials and Protocols That Transform Clinical Outcomes

The success rate of dental restorations varies significantly depending on the restorative material used, and the protocols the clinician employs given the clinical situation. This CE webinar is designed to provide dentists with crucial insights into the most commonly used direct and indirect restorative materials in daily practice and how clinician’s strategies and protocols in using these materials impact the success rate of dental procedures, improving both efficiency and outcomes.

We are 40 years since Professor Branemark introduced his research on osseointegration to the dental community. Dental Implants provide our patients with successful long-term restorative solutions for function, comfort, and aesthetics. Today, Dental Hygienists are seeing more patients with dental implants. Implant manufacturers have introduced new implant designs, surfaces, and surface chemistry that affect biocompatibility and maintenance protocols. There are concerns about what materials we use to reduce peri-implant inflammation, may negatively affect the implant surface's biocompatibility and the implant’s long-term success. This CE webinar will review dental implant component materials and design and the biological compatibility of commonly used instruments, technology, and therapeutic materials.

View Full Description »
More dentures are being made through digital processes as dentists try to bring this service in office to lower their lab bill and labs try to speed up their production flows. Also resins and printers have been continually improving so that patients get a better prosthetic. Dr. Russell Schafer has been fabricating digital dentures in his office since 2018 using a variety of 3d printers and resins. Despite this, he still works closely with a CDT for many cases. In this CE webinar, Dr. Schafer will go through how he decides when to make 3d printed denture in house vs when to send it to a lab to design vs when to send it to a conventional denture lab. Also we will discuss efficient methods for taking denture records to minimize the number of appointments needed to deliver well fitting dentures. Finally, we will discuss different types of dentures and methods of manufacturing 3d printed dentures.


Featured Podcast Episodes
Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Jeff Horowitz
We'll be talking about the 3D printer itself as well as the materials that go into them. So if you thinking about incorporating 3D printing into your practice stay tuned for a very interesting episode. Our guest is Dr. Jeffrey Horowitz, a seasoned clinician and educator who is passionate about dentists seeing themselves as Oral and Facial Health Care Physicians rather than tooth mechanics.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Jennifer Derse
Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.

Series: Bisco CE Credits: 0.25
Guest: Dr. Devin McClintock
So how important is continuing education in our career? How important is it for the young dentist to find a mentor, someone that can provide invaluable practical advice? And what does it take to find a good mentor? We'll be asking our guest Dr. Devin McClintock these questions as she shares her experiences on some of the best ways to enjoy and excell in dentistry. Dr. McClintock graduated with honors from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine.
