Health inequities persist for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities experience poorer oral health and challenges accessing dental care. Historically, the dental curriculum did not require training dental professionals to care for and manage the treatment of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Providers often report feeling unprepared to care for this population. This CE webinar will evaluate the current barriers to care, identify complex factors contributing to oral health, and equip the dental provider with strategies to improve patient care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Dental materials have evolved alongside CAD/CAM technology at a relatively rapid pace. Understanding the fundamental nature and behavior of dental ceramics and cements is an integral part of the decision-making process in restorative dentistry. The correct selection of materials and understanding the limitations of each dental material will help improve clinical success. This CE webinar provides a comprehensive classification of indirect restorative materials and their clinical applications, with the goal of equipping clinicians with the necessary knowledge to evaluate and correctly apply emerging materials.

Individuals are experiencing bouts of depression, and/or debilitating anxiety at an alarming rate, and the incidence is rising in the young adult and adolescence population since the pandemic. Chronic stressors and chronic anxiety influence health outcomes of those living with diseases such as CVD, cancer and Type 2 Diabetes. Chronic stress can also have a negative outcome on periodontal health. Lifestyle Medicine comprises four quadrants: Healthy Eating Healthy Weight, Active Living and Emotional Resilience. Discover the possibilities of how healthful living within each of these quadrants can help mitigate chronic stress, depression, anxiety and improve periodontal health. This dynamic CE webinar is divided into Part 1 and Part 2.

Discover the differences between automatic and manual interproximal reduction. In the last 20 years there has been a major development in the use of clear aligners and functional concepts applied to orthodontic treatments, both on children and adult patients. A key element is interproximal enamel reduction, a fundamental practice to recover the interproximal space in order to facilitate teeth movement in orthodontic treatments and to insure clean and accurate procedures in Class II patients especially dealing in the posterior sectors. The main technology contributing, not only to obtaining excellent results, but to raise the level of care and protection towards patients is automatic IPR, helping clinicians to maintain excellent control, avoid over-reductions, avoid severe damages and excessive pressure applied to the patient during treatment; all factors that manual or obsolete techniques may cause.
Advancements in technology and materials have shifted the field of dentistry. As a result, providers opt to rely more on chemical adhesion over mechanical retention with both their direct and indirect restorations. This paradigm shift of preparation design to a more conservative approach is dependent on an equal shift in our bonding protocols. The road to reliability in adhesive dentistry is paved through consistency and reliance on adhering to science. Developing systems and protocols and sticking to them ensures long term stability with cosmetic restorations. Which in turn results in happy patients with reliable outcomes. But how does one develop the proper systems and protocols? In this CE webinar, providers will learn how to simplify yet optimize their isolation techniques and bonding protocols to achieve more predictable long-term success with both their direct and indirect restorative outcomes.
Cosmetic dentistry is no longer a novelty as it was in the 1980’s...it is serious business. Patient expectations are growing so that you must learn to master the art and science not only in the front but the back of the mouth. Fortunately, advancements in technology and materials have allowed dentists and their teams to be on the same page with the patient, lab, and specialist that help you create extra-ordinary results that are predictable and profitable for the practice and often affordable for patients.
