Join us for a compelling CE webinar featuring Dr. Boeskin, a respected advocate for biomimetic dentistry, as he shares his candid perspective on transitioning to zirconia-based restorations. Once hesitant to embrace zirconia due to concerns about its compatibility with minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Boeskin now integrates it confidently into his practice — thanks to major advances in CAD/CAM technology and material science. Whether you're skeptical about zirconia or seeking to optimize your restorative workflow, this CE webinar offers both clinical wisdom and practical strategies to guide your material decisions.


Mastering Precision: Clinical Integration of Root ZX3 with HF Module

Advancements in endodontic technology continue to reshape clinical workflows, improve patient outcomes, and reduce chair time. One such innovation is the Root ZX3, a third-generation apex locator that integrates seamlessly with the HFM (High-Frequency Module). This combination allows clinicians to not only accurately determine working length, but also disinfect the canal with precision and safety. This continuing education webinar is designed to provide dental professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the scientific principles, clinical benefits, and practical applications of the Root ZX3 + HFM. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of how the technology works, when and how to use it in clinical settings, and how it can be implemented into everyday endodontic practice. Through case-based discussion, workflow demonstrations, and review of current best practices, attendees will leave with the knowledge and confidence to incorporate this system into a wide range of endodontic scenarios.


Environmental Surfaces: Guidelines, Best Practices, and Peace of Mind

There are some dentists who boldly (or quietly) love and respect a different material, but for all the rest, who say, “Yeah, but…” there must be another way. Imagine a clinical day without recurrent decay…there is a way! At the end of this CE webinar, participants should be able to: • Contrast ormocers from composites and glass ionomers • Defend the evidence for sealants • Witness caries lesion arrest

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.


Featured Podcast Episodes

Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe
According to our guest, Dr. Mauricio Watanabe, a world-respected speaker and clinician, by using a highly filled nano-composite to fabricate the crown, the same material we use for our deep margin elevation and filling in our undercuts, a semi-direct full coverage restoration will provide long-term predictable success. And Dr. Watanabe has years of cases and research to support his opinion. The whole procedure can be done in 30 minutes when pouring your impression with a fast setting silicone material. So if you're looking to practice conservative dentistry and preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible and still deliver a full coverage crown, you might find the semi-direct restoration an excellent option for many of your large caries cases. Dr. Lauren Rainey, a well-respected clinician and KOL will also be joining us.

Guest: Dr. Alex Vasserman
Most of us have started using zirconia as a material for our indirect restorations. We either mill it chairside or send it out to the lab to be fabricated. Either way we need to make sure that our technique is perfect when delivering it to the tooth, especially if we are working with a non-retentive prep. If we need to rely on adhesion, we have to understand the nuances of bonding zirconia to tooth structure. To tell us all about it is our guest Dr. Alex Vasserman. Dr Vasserman is a respected clinician running his own practice on the Upper East side of Manhattan.

Series: GC America CE Credits: 0.25
Guest: Dr. Yao-Lin Tang
In the past, we didn't have many choices when it came to CAD CAM blocks. But today we do. In this episode, we'll be talking to a dentist who is well aware that Zr wins the strength contest but he has plenty of reasons to stay the course with LiSi. He specifically prefers a specific Lithium Disilicate bloc that saves him the step of firing after chairside milling. To tell us all about it is Dr. Yao-Lin Tang, who has over twenty years of practical knowledge in cosmetic and general dentistry. He is a CEREC user since 2005, a certified CEREC trainer, and a Visiting Faculty at CDOCS.com.
