Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease - Part 2 Presenter: LD Coaching Sponsor: VOCO America Thu  10/8/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/8/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

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.

Beyond Shape: Characterization and Texture in Direct Composite Veneers Presenter: Dr. Drew Ballard Sponsor: Tokuyama Dental America Mon  10/12/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Mon  10/12/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Creating a beautiful direct composite veneer is about more than achieving the right shape and shade. The details that ultimately make a restoration feel natural are often found in the final stages: surface texture, characterization, anatomy, light reflection, and the subtle imperfections that allow the dentistry to blend seamlessly with the surrounding dentition. In this CE webinar, Dr. Drew Ballard will share his approach to characterization and texture in direct composite resin veneers, demonstrating how he takes a restoration from simply well-shaped to natural and lifelike.

Maximizing Dental Suction and Safety: A New Approach to Amalgam Separation Presenter: Dr. Marie Fluent Sponsor: Air Techniques Tue  10/13/26    8:30 PM ET    5:30 PM PT Wed  10/14/26    0:30 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

This one-hour CE webinar introduces a revolutionary, filter-free amalgam separation system designed to operate independently of your central vacuum. Participants will explore how bypassing the central vacuum optimizes aerosol capture and maintains peak suction performance without clogging from prophylaxis paste. The webinar highlights critical infection control advantages, including the reduction of saliva, blood, and contaminated aerosols at the clinical site, and enhances operator visualization and patient comfort. Additionally, attendees will learn how this technology lowers amalgam recycling costs and prevents toxic waste from entering municipal water systems and supports environmental sustainability.

Zirconia vs. Lithium Disilicate: Different Cementation Protocols Required Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz Sponsor: Bisco CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

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.
