Composite Confusion to Clinical Clarity: Simplifying Restorative Workflows
Presenter: Dr. Sam Simos

Modern dentistry is drowning in material options - flowables, bulk-fills, esthetics-first composites, universal systems, and more. For many practices, this leads to bloated inventories, training difficulties, and inconsistent outcomes across providers. In this fast-paced, practical CE webinar, we’ll explore how to cut through the noise, simplify your restorative system, and deliver efficient, predictable results using one streamlined material protocol. You’ll also be introduced to a next-generation composite platform designed to cover the full range of anterior and posterior restorations using just five cluster shades and 4mm increments, without compromising esthetics, handling, or long-term durability. Whether you’re leading a DSO or running a solo practice, this webinar will help you reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and standardize care.


Porcelain Restorations and Adhesion to Improve Aesthetics, Function, and Unique Clinical Problems
Presenter: Dr. Nicolas Aguilera

Porcelain restorations remain one of the most predictable materials in aesthetics and restorative dentistry. Their success, however, depends entirely on correct case selection, precise clinical execution, and a consistent, evidence-based bonding protocol. This CE webinar will review the fundamental principles of adhesion, contemporary ceramic systems and step-by-step protocols to manage common and complex clinical challenges. Participants will learn how to optimize aesthetics and function with a facial driven approach and mastering the temporaries technique so the master ceramist can replicate it in porcelain restorations. By the end of the webinar, clinicians will have a clear and reproducible workflow for planning, preparing, bonding, and maintaining porcelain restorations with confidence.


Integrating CO2 Laser Technology into your CAD/CAM Workflow

Incorporating a 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser into a digitally driven practice can elevate how clinicians deliver care. This CE webinar explores how laser technology complements tools such as intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM systems to simplify workflows, improve precision, and unlock new procedural opportunities, often enabling efficient same-day care. By reducing bleeding, sutures, and post-operative discomfort, the 9.3-micron CO2 laser enables dentists to confidently perform high-value procedures including implant uncoveries, tissue recontouring, flapless crown lengthening, and more. Join Dr. Amarjit Rihal as he reviews practical applications and real-world cases that demonstrate how combining laser and digital technologies can enhance clinical outcomes, improve efficiency, and elevate the patient experience.


A Mock-Up–Driven Approach to Veneer Preparation and Bonding
Presenter: Dr. Todd Snyder
Sponsor: Bisco
Thu  2/26/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
Veneer longevity is determined by what we bond to and how teeth are prepared - long before cementation begins. This focused CE webinar presents a mock-up–driven veneer workflow, demonstrating how diagnostic planning and preparation design create optimal bonding conditions for predictable esthetics and long-term success. Attendees will gain a clinically practical framework for making bonding and preparation decisions that directly influence veneer performance and durability.


The Anatomy of Local Anesthesia: Where Should I Put It?
Presenter: Dr. David Isen
Sponsor: Pierrel S.p.A.
Mon  3/2/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Tue  3/3/26    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
The anatomy of the maxilla and the mandible can affect the efficacy of local anesthetics and their ease of delivery. As well, variations in nerve distribution of both the maxillary and mandibular nerves can make local anesthetic success unpredictable and ineffective. This CE webinar will discuss both nerve and bone anatomy and how they can change the efficacy and ease of delivery of a local anesthetic. A review of the maxillary nerve, the mandibular nerve, the mandible and the maxilla will be discussed. Various injection techniques and local anesthetic products will be reviewed considering this nerve and bone anatomy.

The ABC’s of Adhesive Bonding and Cementation
Presenter: Dr. Thomas Dudney
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
As adhesives and cements continue to evolve, change, and improve, it becomes more difficult for restorative dentists to keep up with the latest advances. With increasingly higher patient expectations for long term clinical success, it is important that dentists have an understanding of these materials in order to make sound decisions on what to use when and why. This CE webinar will discuss the different generations of adhesives and categories of cements including those with bioactive properties. Clinical cases will be shown to demonstrate the use of these adhesives and cements including the proper protocols that must be followed.

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. Kelly Tanner, PhD, RDH
What does it mean for dental hygienists to take charge of the operatory? Traditionally seen as supporting roles, hygienists have focused on cleaning teeth and patient education. But our guest today believes they can do much more—enhancing case acceptance, improving clinical outcomes, and elevating overall patient care. Her mission is to empower hygienists to lead, take ownership of their role, and contribute beyond their clinical duties. Dr. Kelly Tanner is a reg dental hygienist who holds a Ph.D. in Business and Leadership. Her website is nextleveldentalhygiene.com.
