This CE webinar explores the evolution of dentistry from a reactive, treatment-focused model to a proactive, patient-centered approach. Emphasizing minimally invasive and non-invasive dentistry, it highlights the importance of prevention, early intervention, and long-term health outcomes. Participants will gain insight into how oral health is intrinsically linked to systemic health and overall well-being. The session will also address the importance of viewing patients holistically-considering their medical history, lifestyle, behaviors, and individual risk factors-to deliver personalized, evidence-based care. By focusing on the "patient promise," this webinar underscores the ethical and professional responsibility to empower patients, foster trust, and promote sustainable oral health through education, prevention, and collaboration.

Local anesthesia remains one of the most important advances in the history of dentistry, yet clinicians continue to face challenges related to injection discomfort, bitter taste, delayed onset, inadequate anesthesia, lingering numbness, and patient anxiety. This CE webinar will review the fascinating evolution of local anesthetic agents from the earliest use of cocaine to the introduction of lidocaine and today's expanding armamentarium of anesthetic solutions. Participants will explore the pharmacology, safety profiles, and clinical applications of commonly used local anesthetics and vasoconstrictors, while examining evidence-based strategies to improve patient outcomes. Special emphasis will be placed on innovations such as anesthetic buffering, flavor-masked formulations, and practical approaches to enhancing the overall patient experience.

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway–inflammation–periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits. Dental hygienists will gain practical tools for recognizing airway-related red flags, implementing simple screening strategies within their scope, communicating findings confidently with patients, and integrating prevention-based periodontal care models that support long-term stability.

We are all familiar with fluoride varnish but in today’s environment of fluoride hesitancy, misinformation, and marketing noise, it’s easy to lose sight of the science that makes it so effective. To continue delivering the highest standard of preventive care, clinicians need a clear understanding of what actually happens after varnish is applied and why those mechanisms matter clinically. This CE webinar takes a closer look at the science behind fluoride varnish, including fluoride uptake, fluorapatite formation, and the role prolonged contact time plays in long-term enamel protection. We’ll also explore how varnish formulations behave on the tooth surface and what clinicians should consider when selecting a varnish for their patients.

This CE webinar intends to provide clear information and guidance for clinicians, as they navigate the unique ethical decision-making challenges of selecting products for the removal of biofilm. This webinar also relates the Standards of Clinical Dental Hygiene Practice to ethical decision-making in dental hygiene, focusing on the importance of assessment for gathering necessary data for optimal product choice.
This CE webinar is designed to understand and illustrate the technique in creating beautiful anterior and posterior chair side provisional (prototype) restorations efficiently, predictably, and inexpensively utilizing bisacrylic resin. The variations of bisacrylic resins and which one achieves beautiful esthetics, greater durability and accuracy for your provisional restorations. In addition, there will be a discussion about the indications and uses of flowable resin as well as the temporary cement options for luting in one’s provisional restorations.
Zirconia and lithium disilicate (eMax and others) are the two most common direct restorative materials. Predictable long term cementation success is dependent on the proper pre-cementation treatment and understanding the different cement options available. As we currently do not have a universal it is important to understand the different cement options to make an informed decision. This CE webinar is designed to review the proper pre-cementation protocols and discuss the different cement categories to help the viewer create a workflow and thought process that will increase the predictability of their restorations.
