This clinical, workflow-focused CE webinar walks through how CBCT is integrated into everyday implant dentistry - from diagnosis and case selection to virtual planning and guided placement. Attendees will see how cone beam data is used to evaluate anatomy, assess risk, and determine restorative-driven implant positioning. The webinar will feature a "scan to plan" demonstration: opening implant planning software, reviewing a CBCT scan, and virtually placing an implant in real time, with discussion of key landmarks, safety zones, and restorative considerations, including guide fabrication. Guided workflows will be covered in detail, including when to place freehand vs. guided, how guides are designed, and the steps involved in guide fabrication - whether produced in-house or through a lab/third-party service.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
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.

One of the most valuable steps a new dentist can take is finding a mentor—someone who’s been in the field for 25 years or more and has learned through experience, including their own mistakes. A mentor offers the chance to see what lies ahead, helping you avoid getting caught up in the moment and make well-thought-out decisions about the kind of practice you want to build and the investments you’ll need to make. Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Chris Pescatore, a general dentist with over 30 years of experience. He has been a pioneer in digital dentistry since the early ’90s and has seen it all when it comes to creating aesthetic restorations. As you listen to Dr. Pescatore’s insights, we hope you gain invaluable advice to help guide you as you embark on your own dental career.
