In the last five years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen explosive growth in both our personal as well as professional lives. That growth continues and it is imperative that doctors keep abreast of these amazing advancements in diagnostic accuracy and practice efficiency. Using AI enhanced radiographs not only helps the doctor and team, but it is also a tremendously powerful tool to help patients better understand their problems and solutions.

How many times have you started to clean your patients’ teeth and discovered severe bleeding, heavy biofilm, or worse recurrent decay? Using the assessment phase as a guide will enable us to formulate a dental hygiene diagnosis, develop a treatment plan, select interventions, and evaluate our progress. In this CE webinar, we will discuss the benefits of completing the assessment phase of ADPIE. We will emphasize the critical role a complete medical history, periodontal exam, radiographs, and biofilm assessment play in your patients' oral health. As dental hygienists, we have the power to motivate, enhance and elevate our patient care and it all starts with a complete assessment!

More than ever, dentists are looking for predictable and efficient methods to deliver exceptional restorations. Our restoration checklist includes: sealed margins, functional occlusion, accurate inter-proximal contacts, while offering beautiful esthetics. However, central to every restoration is the bur that is selected to perform a specific role during the procedure. Whether removing decay, finishing a composite, establishing a margin, or adjusting a pristine ceramic surface, dental burs answer to a broad scope of restorative procedures. This CE webinar will discuss proper bur selection from start to finish for everyday clinical dentistry.

This CE webinar will help participants achieve a higher level of composite artistry with results that can seamlessly emulate natural teeth or rival the beauty of porcelain restorations by learning the concepts of creating amazing anterior composites along with advanced restorative applications to shape/polish composites that predictably emulate nature. The webinar will discuss the polychromatic nature of natural human teeth and how composite resins can be used to emulate that polychromatic appearance effortlessly and predictably.

Local anesthetics are very safe drugs. However, they do sometimes, rarely, exhibit side effects. Practitioners inject thousands of dental cartridges every year and usually do not think about those potential issues. When they occur, we may be unprepared and unaware of what to do. This CE webinar will discuss the side effects and potential emergency situations that are associated with both local anesthetics and vasoconstrictors. As well, ways to mitigate these situations will be presented. Specifically, local anesthetic allergy, toxicity and cardiovascular emergencies will be explored.

Pediatric dentistry is continuing to evolve, as is dentistry in general. The concept of total body care, or better stated, integrative dental medicine, has finally become commonly accepted. Obviously, the younger the patient is exposed to integrative oral medicine the better the future result. This CE webinar will outline the process of early childhood intervention, and then the appropriate use of more biologically kind restorative materials. It is important to realize that in every profession, there is always a group that resists change. Old habits die hard, but dentistry is now poised to be the profession for the most incredible advancement in healthcare. We now have the scientific knowledge and the biologic materials to best benefit humankind.
Direct bonded restorative dentistry is the day to day go to for treating our patients. In this CE webinar, we will delve into how to make those restorations a win for both you and the patients. Materials make a difference and using the right materials for the right patients can be a matter of success or failure.
While the dental patient typically never steps into the mechanical room, the equipment in this room is vital to the operation of the entire dental practice. The main components of the mechanical room consist of the air compressor and vacuum system—literally the heart and lungs of your practice. Simply put, without these systems, your practice cannot function! This CE webinar will discuss the vital equipment in the mechanical room including air compressors, central vacuum systems, and amalgam separators. Air quality issues in the mechanical room, and technological trends in equipment (such as internet connectivity and variable frequency drives on vacuum systems), and eco-friendly considerations for the future will be addressed to enhance equipment performance, minimize downtime, reduce cost of repairs, and promote sustainability efforts.

Until recently, Dr. Sarah Winter, who runs a cosmetic focused practice in La Jolla CA, used two different composite systems for her direct restorative cases. She used a micro-filled composite for her anterior cases for high polishability and a bulk fill for her posterior cases which provided lots of strength. But recently, she found one material that actually does both, offering strength and esthetics. According to Dr. Winter, this newer material has made her life and her staff's a whole lot easier. Today we'll talk about her transition to this new restorative composite.

Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Did you know that, from infancy to geriatrics the tongue can alter the health of your patient. And it does so in ways that may not be visible in early stages. Today we'll be discussing Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) and your dental practice. Our guest is Shirley Gutkowski, a dental hygienist who focuses on developing the muscles in the snoring complex. She is a popular author and speaker, having practiced clinical dental hygiene for over two decades. She often speaks on minimally invasive dental procedures to arrest decay and periodontal disease.

Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Today we'll be discussing the benefits of adding a short-fiber reinforced composite restorative for specific restorative cases. In conjunction with a universal composite, a fiber-reinforced restorative has shown to offer significantly better fracture toughness in many applications versus a universal composite alone. Our guest is Dr. Ron Kaminer, an internationally known educator, lecturing on dental lasers and other cutting-edge technologies in the dental market. Dr. Kaminer maintains 3 practices, one in Hewlett, NY one in Oceanside, NY and one in breezy point NY.
