Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to adopt expensive digital systems that pull you away from what you love most - patient care? You're not alone. Digital dentistry has transformed our profession, bringing incredible innovations like 2D/3D smile simulations, digital wax-ups, and virtual preparation designs. These tools promise precision, efficiency, and better patient engagement. But here's the problem: the rapid growth of digital technology can feel overwhelming. Many clinicians are being pressured to invest in expensive systems or take on complex lab responsibilities that steal precious time from the chair. What if there was a simpler way? Introducing Digital Dental Sculptor - Dr. Chris Pescatore's revolutionary approach that empowers you to implement modern digital workflows without the need for a full in-house lab.

Early detection changes everything. When clinicians and patients see areas of concern together, they can move from uncertainty to understanding -transforming diagnosis into collaboration. This one-hour CE webinar explores how enhanced detection tools elevate preventive care, improve patient trust, and support more confident treatment recommendations. By integrating these technologies seamlessly into existing workflows, dental professionals can boost efficiency, profitability, and outcomes without adding chair time - all while reinforcing a reputation for proactive, evidence-based care.


Advances in the Treatment of Highly Carious and Severely Hypoplastic Permanent Posterior Teeth
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Solomon

For many decades, the treatment options for highly carious and/or hypoplastic permanent posterior teeth have been either large amalgam buildups, multi-surface composites or stainless-steel crowns. Most pediatric dentists or general dentists that treat children and teens know that large amalgam or composite restorations will leak or fracture at a high rate. Thus, the highly unaesthetic stainless-steel crown was the chosen restorative option. Today, there are a wide range of treatment options including non-invasive, low-cost treatments such as SDF as well as self-cure, highly esthetic composite-based restorative materials that are incredibly easy to use. This CE webinar will focus on giving patients a wide range of treatment options from immediate, low cost to highly esthetic, long-lasting stainless-steel crown alternatives.

Adhesive Dentistry - What, Why, and How
Presenter: Dr. Todd Snyder
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
There is a concept in dentistry that somehow adhesion is better and yet we see amalgams and crowns, held on by zinc phosphate cement, are still working in patients mouths 40+ years later but we see failure rates and replacements of various adhesive dentistry in 5-10 years. Where techniques use to be more simplistic with less steps and basic fundamentals we achieved success, and now we throw out many of those concepts and replace them with adhesion, we expect to find longevity. Are you seeing longevity or are you seeing more sensitivity, problems, failures or costly redos? This CE webinar is a look at where we are at with modern adhesion and what we believe we know. The goal is to give you some systems, tools and thoughts to consider to help you and your patients to have better longevity and success in the restorative dentistry you provide.







Dental Implants – Parts, Pieces, Chemistry, and Compatibility
Presenter: Lynn Pencek, RDH, MS
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
We are 40 years since Professor Branemark introduced his research on osseointegration to the dental community. Dental Implants provide our patients with successful long-term restorative solutions for function, comfort, and aesthetics. Today, Dental Hygienists are seeing more patients with dental implants. Implant manufacturers have introduced new implant designs, surfaces, and surface chemistry that affect biocompatibility and maintenance protocols. There are concerns about what materials we use to reduce peri-implant inflammation, may negatively affect the implant surface's biocompatibility and the implant’s long-term success. This CE webinar will review dental implant component materials and design and the biological compatibility of commonly used instruments, technology, and therapeutic materials.







Close Your Contacts: A Simple Approach to Getting Tight Interproximal Contacts
Presenter: Dr. Ian Shuman
Sponsor: DMG America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Direct composite has poor compressive strength prior to curing and therefore must be managed differently than amalgam. This CE webinar is designed to teach the fundamentals of direct restorative treatment of both posterior and anterior teeth. It will also delve into the basics of class 2 matrix systems designed specifically for direct composite as well as a unique universal bonding system.

We've all seen the white spot lesions on our patients teeth. By any measure, they're not particularly aesthetic and most patients would love them to disappear. So why is it that for a large majority of patients that are actually visiting their dentist regularly, these lesions persist and essentially detract from their smile. The only logical answer I can come up with is that many dentists are not utilizing something called resin infiltration. It's a simple procedure that is remarkably effective in essentially making white spot lesions disappear. To tell us all about it is our guest Irene Iancu. Irene is a Canadian RRDH and entrepreneur with experience in various specialties like Pediatrics, Orthodontics, and Periodontics, she has combined all these elements in her start-up dental practice in Toronto, Toothlife Studio. Irene is an international speaker, key opinion leader, host of the Tooth or Dare podcast and creates educational content on all social platforms under the handle @toothlife.irene.
