Join us for a compelling CE webinar featuring Dr. Boeskin, a respected advocate for biomimetic dentistry, as he shares his candid perspective on transitioning to zirconia-based restorations. Once hesitant to embrace zirconia due to concerns about its compatibility with minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Boeskin now integrates it confidently into his practice — thanks to major advances in CAD/CAM technology and material science. Whether you're skeptical about zirconia or seeking to optimize your restorative workflow, this CE webinar offers both clinical wisdom and practical strategies to guide your material decisions.


Mastering Precision: Clinical Integration of Root ZX3 with HF Module

Advancements in endodontic technology continue to reshape clinical workflows, improve patient outcomes, and reduce chair time. One such innovation is the Root ZX3, a third-generation apex locator that integrates seamlessly with the HFM (High-Frequency Module). This combination allows clinicians to not only accurately determine working length, but also disinfect the canal with precision and safety. This continuing education webinar is designed to provide dental professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the scientific principles, clinical benefits, and practical applications of the Root ZX3 + HFM. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of how the technology works, when and how to use it in clinical settings, and how it can be implemented into everyday endodontic practice. Through case-based discussion, workflow demonstrations, and review of current best practices, attendees will leave with the knowledge and confidence to incorporate this system into a wide range of endodontic scenarios.


Environmental Surfaces: Guidelines, Best Practices, and Peace of Mind

There are some dentists who boldly (or quietly) love and respect a different material, but for all the rest, who say, “Yeah, but…” there must be another way. Imagine a clinical day without recurrent decay…there is a way! At the end of this CE webinar, participants should be able to: • Contrast ormocers from composites and glass ionomers • Defend the evidence for sealants • Witness caries lesion arrest

As with all other forms of technology, the dental supply industry is in a constant race to provide the most useful innovations in the products that we use. The problem is that it is sometimes very difficult to keep track of all of them, and knowing what promises from the local sales rep are actually legit. In this CE webinar, through a series of highly relevant clinical scenarios, Dr. Gupta shares the best, most predictable solutions to make our experiences in the op more of a joy, and less of a headache.







Pushing the Envelope: Direct and Indirect Posterior Solutions with Composite
Presenter: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
The science and technology built into dental composite resins is impressive, but rarely do practitioners (or patients) realize how versatile our materials really can be. Direct placement is the most common approach for composite, but by relying on the material science within, predictable indirect composite restorations can also be life-like, strong and long lasting. Join the co-presenters in this CE webinar as they review cases from North and South America as they compare and contrast uses of composite resin in their daily practice.

Many of us rely on ceramic materials for our indirect restorations. And with today's choices, we need to be aware of how we handle these materials before cementation. We also need to understand the differences between ceramic and zirconia and how we prepare these materials prior to cementation. To tell us all about it and share some invaluable clinical tips is our guest Dr. Todd Snyder. Dr Snyder is a popular speaker on Viva Learning.com, a cosmetic dentist, international author, lecturer and consultant to dental companies. He hosts a weekly podcast, Delusional: Winning the Weekly War of Dentistry. You can reach Dr. Snyder at: www.Legion.Dentist.

As individuals, each of us have a unique set of oral health needs. These needs are influenced by a myriad of factors including our age, medical history, dental history, lifestyle, and genetics. And because of this, oral health assessments are pivotal in both diagnosing existing issues and in crafting preventative strategies to maintain long-term oral health. To talk about the oral health assessment in more depth and give us some super practical recommendations is our guest Kerry Lepicek. Kerry over 20 years of clinical experience as a registered dental hygienist and continues to work part-time in a clinical setting.

So we're beginning to hear more and more about the benefits of warming composite. For one thing, because of the lower viscosity at the time of application, it's a whole lot easier on your hand. But the real benefit lies in adaptation and we all know that the better adaptation, the less likely we'll see recurrent decay and post-operative sensitivity. To tell us why she loves warming composite and how easy it is to make the transition in your operatory to this technique, is our guest Dr. Lauren Rainey. Dr. Rainey is a regular contributor on Viva Learning.com and currently teaches direct restorative techniques to dentists in the US & Canada.
