Similar But Not the Same: Cementation Considerations and Techniques for Zirconia vs Lithium Disilicate Crowns
Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz
Sponsor: Bisco
Tue  12/16/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Wed  12/17/25    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate are the 2 most popular current materials for crowns in the US. Although they can looks very similar with their excellent esthetic properties, the materials themselves require different pre-cementation protocols and materials. Understanding the proper way to treat each material before final cementation can effect the long term clinical performance. Additionally, because of the difference in the strength of each material there can be several "best" choices of cements that can be used. This CE webinar is created to discuss and demonstrate the materials, techniques and protocols specific to each material.


Expanding Horizons: Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implant Evaluation Using Wide-Frame CBCT
Presenter: Dr. Igor Borisov
Sponsor: ACTEON
Wed  12/17/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Thu  12/18/25    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
This CE webinar explores the advanced radiographic evaluation and planning of zygomatic and pterygoid implants through the use of wide-frame CBCT imaging. With the evolution of extra-maxillary anchorage techniques, clinicians now have the ability to restore patients with severe maxillary atrophy without resorting to grafting. Understanding the unique anatomic and prosthetic considerations of these implant sites is essential to optimizing both safety and long-term success. Participants will be guided through case examples highlighting how larger field-of-view CBCTs enhance visualization of critical structures such as the zygomatic buttress, pterygoid plates, and sinus boundaries. The discussion will include radiographic landmarks, implant trajectory planning, prosthetic emergence considerations, and risk management strategies for the posterior maxilla.


Minimally Invasive Workflows for Better Treatment of Enamel Defects
Presenter: Dr. Kiran Shankla

Bonding for Cosmetic Success
Presenter: Dr. Devin McClintock
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Advancements in technology and materials have shifted the field of dentistry. As a result, providers opt for more conservative restorative options for enhanced smile esthetics. Additive and minimally invasive restorations rely on chemical adhesion over mechanical retention with both their direct and indirect restorations. 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.

Guest: Dr. Luis Abrahante
On today’s episode, we’re talking with an inspiring young dentist whose story is nothing short of amazing. Meet Dr. Luis Abrahante—he came to the U.S. from Cuba at just 18 years old, not knowing a word of English. Fast forward to age 31, and he’s already paid off his dental school loans, bought his own practice, and turned it into a fully digital, high-end aesthetic dentistry hub. He shares with us how he did it along with his favorite dental materials.

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.

Guest: Dr. Brian Novy
Remineralization of teeth is a natural process through which essential minerals, such as calcium and phosphate, are deposited back into the enamel, effectively reversing early stages of tooth decay. What can we do as hygienists and dentists to augment this natural process? According to our expert speaker, Dr. Brian Novy, it is a multifactorial approach which involves good communication with the patient and using the right therapeutics. Listen in to hear what the expert has to say.
