Dentinal hypersensitivity is a prevalent condition, affecting approximately 1 in 8 adults. While not typically classified as a dental emergency, it can significantly impact a patient’s comfort and quality of life. Whether caused by gum recession, bleaching, dentin exposure, or other factors, patients rely on dental professionals to provide effective relief. This CE webinar will focus on evidence-based strategies to prevent and manage dentinal hypersensitivity, equipping participants with the knowledge and tools to address this common concern.

From Dirty to Sterile: Building a Bulletproof Instrument Reprocessing Workflow

Instrument reprocessing is one of the most critical, yet vulnerable systems in dental practices. Breakdowns in workflow, packaging, or monitoring can compromise patient safety, compliance, and efficiency. This one-hour CE webinar delivers a practical, systems-based approach to creating a reliable instrument reprocessing workflow from point-of-use to sterilization and storage. Participants will explore ideal instrument flow in both small and large practices, implement best practices for load configuration and packaging, and understand the role of biological monitoring and validation. Attendees will also learn how to design an efficient sterilization center that minimizes cross-contamination and supports clinical success and acquire actionable strategies to strengthen protocols and ensure consistent, compliant outcomes.

In a world of scanners, lasers, and 3D printers, why would a dentist invest in GBT for their hygiene department? Dentists will never be free of the temptation to purchase another toy. Constant innovation in technology regularly promises to make dentistry easier, more predictable, and highly satisfying for the patient. The problem is, most equipment upgrades are used, at best, once or twice a day. Guided Biofilm Therapy is the one investment in dentistry that can be used on every patient that comes in for hygiene, making their experience more pleasant, efficient, effective, and motivating.

Does your daily restorative routine feel hindered by unpredictable outcomes or complex material choices? Nowadays, clinicians have many options for different options when it comes to composite restorations. Materials such as microfills, microhybrids, nanofills, bulkfills, and flowables are getting stronger and more versatile. Universal adhesives offer a level of compatibility that was not available a decade ago. This CE webinar presents an overview of how composite bonding chemistry, restorative materials and composite warming helps maximize the success of composite restorations.

New materials, technology and techniques are developing at such a rapid pace that practitioners can become overwhelmed. Add to this the increased expectations of esthetic patients and the clinical performance of materials and the entire experience can be challenging. This CE webinar will explore the recent trends in composite restorative materials with an emphasis on demystifying the concept of chameleon technology. Dr. Geissberger will describe significant changes that have occurred over the last few years enabling clinicians to place few layers, limit inventory, and establish life-like restorations.






HPV and Oropharyngeal Cancer: Let’s Give Them Something to Talk About
Presenter: Susan Cotten, RDH
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Dentistry is continually changing, and that includes oral cancers. Current evidence reveals that the Human Papillomavirus/HPV now causes more oropharyngeal cancer than cervical cancer and is responsible for approximately 80% of oropharyngeal cancers. It’s essential that dental professionals share important information about HPV and oropharyngeal cancer, not only with their patients but also with their family and friends. In this content rich CE webinar, join oral cancer coach Susan Cotten BS, RDH, OMT, we discuss HPV, the signs and symptoms associated with oropharyngeal cancer, and the critical role a comprehensive screening has in early detection. Attendees will leave inspired, ready to share information about HPV and give their dental team and patients something to talk about to increase early detection and save lives!

Guest: Amanda Hill, RDH
So how do we elevate our practice and what does elevating our practice do for our career, business and patients. It actually does quite a lot. For one, it helps with employee retention. A recent poll showed that the number one reason why a dental hygienist leaves a dental practice is because the practice is not innovative, it's doing the same ol same ol and they feel they are stuck in a rut, not learning anything new. nor are they trying new techniques and products. Also part of our episode today is talking about incorporating diagnostics into our practice. Instead of rushing through the medical history and moving right to our scaling, root planing and prophies, we should dedicate time to diagnostic testing, getting to the root cause of the problem. As our guest Amanda Hill will explain, diagnostic testing is a game-changer for the practice and not only builds trust between the practice and the patient, but also drives revenue to a whole new level.

Guest: Dr. Brian Novy
According to Dr. Brian Novy, the application of fluoride varnish is, hands down, the most significant procedure we can do for our patients. But as with any procedure, there’s a right way—and a wrong way—to apply fluoride varnish. Dr. Novy will shed light on common mistakes that can undermine its effectiveness, a phenomenon he calls the "fluoride bomb." We’ll discuss what can go wrong during application, how to avoid these pitfalls, and what steps you can take to ensure your patients receive the full benefits of this essential preventive treatment. Dr. Brian Novy is a practicing dentist in Boston MA. He is President of the National CAMBRA Coalition, faculty at Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Western University of Health Sciences, and consumer representative for the US Food and Drug Administration Dental Products Panel.

Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe
Today we’ll explore why direct composite procedures are quickly becoming a preferred alternative to traditional indirect restorations—and how you can use hybrid techniques like deep margin elevation and model-based composite crowns to deliver exceptional results without prepping away valuable tooth structure or sending cases to the lab. Joining us are two experienced clinicians, Dr Lauren Rainey and Dr Mauricio Watanabe. They will share how the use of highly filled nanocomposite materials in their techniques are transforming the way they restore teeth—and why patients are loving the results.
