Dentinal hypersensitivity is a prevalent condition, affecting approximately 1 in 8 adults. While not typically classified as a dental emergency, it can significantly impact a patient’s comfort and quality of life. Whether caused by gum recession, bleaching, dentin exposure, or other factors, patients rely on dental professionals to provide effective relief. This CE webinar will focus on evidence-based strategies to prevent and manage dentinal hypersensitivity, equipping participants with the knowledge and tools to address this common concern.


From Dirty to Sterile: Building a Bulletproof Instrument Reprocessing Workflow

Instrument reprocessing is one of the most critical, yet vulnerable systems in dental practices. Breakdowns in workflow, packaging, or monitoring can compromise patient safety, compliance, and efficiency. This one-hour CE webinar delivers a practical, systems-based approach to creating a reliable instrument reprocessing workflow from point-of-use to sterilization and storage. Participants will explore ideal instrument flow in both small and large practices, implement best practices for load configuration and packaging, and understand the role of biological monitoring and validation. Attendees will also learn how to design an efficient sterilization center that minimizes cross-contamination and supports clinical success and acquire actionable strategies to strengthen protocols and ensure consistent, compliant outcomes.

In a world of scanners, lasers, and 3D printers, why would a dentist invest in GBT for their hygiene department? Dentists will never be free of the temptation to purchase another toy. Constant innovation in technology regularly promises to make dentistry easier, more predictable, and highly satisfying for the patient. The problem is, most equipment upgrades are used, at best, once or twice a day. Guided Biofilm Therapy is the one investment in dentistry that can be used on every patient that comes in for hygiene, making their experience more pleasant, efficient, effective, and motivating.

Does your daily restorative routine feel hindered by unpredictable outcomes or complex material choices? Nowadays, clinicians have many options for different options when it comes to composite restorations. Materials such as microfills, microhybrids, nanofills, bulkfills, and flowables are getting stronger and more versatile. Universal adhesives offer a level of compatibility that was not available a decade ago. This CE webinar presents an overview of how composite bonding chemistry, restorative materials and composite warming helps maximize the success of composite restorations.

The Injection Molding Technique: Achieving Predictable, Aesthetic Composite Veneers
Presenter: Dr. Melissa Seibert
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
This CE webinar will guide clinicians through a modern, evidence-based approach to creating beautiful composite veneers using the injection molding technique. Participants will learn how to integrate digital smile design into their workflow to plan esthetic outcomes with intention and accuracy. The webinar will cover case selection, template fabrication, material handling, and step-by-step clinical execution to ensure highly esthetic, minimally invasive results. Dr. Melissa Seibert will also discuss the evolving category of injectable composites - clarifying their indications, advantages, and limitations - to help clinicians make confident material and technique choices that elevate their esthetic dentistry.







Similar But Not the Same: Cementation Considerations and Techniques for Zirconia vs Lithium Disilicate Crowns
Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
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.







Open Wide and Look Inside: Oral Anomalies and Pathologies in Children and Adolescents
Presenter: Sherri Lukes, RDH, MS, FAADH
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends an oral health exam after eruption of the first tooth or by one year of age. The erupting teeth, however, are not the only structures for examination in children and adolescents. Multiple anomalies and pathologies can arise in the oral cavities of our young patients. This CE webinar will provide an overview of anomalies/pathologies that may present in the oral cavity of young patients through adolescence, presented in a fun and engaging manner. Cases will be presented, encouraging audience participation to arrive at a differential diagnosis for each case. The importance of interdisciplinary care among healthcare providers will also be stressed.


Featured Podcast Episodes
Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. John Flucke
The dental profession is rapidly moving to a point where in-office design and fabrication of prosthetics, appliances, and orthodontic aligners will become commonplace. The time to learn about and plan for these amazing advancements is now! Our guest is Dr. John Flucke, Chief Dental & Technology Editor for Dental Products Report magazine. He maintains a private practice in Lee’s Summit, MO, a suburb of the greater Kansas City area.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.75
Guest: Dr. Brian Novy
Today we’re talking about direct restorative materials that can truly change the course of your patients’ dental health — and no, not just composite, but glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer. Used strategically, these materials can help patients avoid a lifetime of fillings, crowns, and repeat dental work. And adopting this conservative approach doesn’t mean sacrificing revenue — in fact, building a practice focused on preserving healthy tooth structure attracts patients who value care that’s truly in their best interest. Joining us is Dr. Brian Nový, a leading cariologist at Virginia Commonwealth University with faculty appointments at Harvard and Western University, and a private practice owner in Salem, Massachusetts. He’ll explain how glass ionomer and RMGI bond to teeth, their clinical applications, address concerns about strength and aesthetics, and show how they can transform long-term patient outcomes.
