More and more dental offices are booked months in advance and are operating with a limited staff. Dentists expect hygienists to deliver thorough cleanings but with less time allotted for each procedure. I would like to discuss ways to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality. The demands of life make it challenging to keep up with new and innovative technology. I would like to cover the latest technological advancements and products that could lead to better patient outcomes. Finally, I want to address personal health and wellness, which is essential for career longevity. In addition to exploring in-office and home yoga techniques, I would like to conduct a deep dive into anatomy, helping hygienists understand why their bodies hurt and exploring natural options to help them feel their best and perform at their highest level. After the CE webinar you can expect to offer new, highly sought-after services that help keep dental patients from escaping your practice.

This one-hour CE webinar will focus on utilizing modern technology to treat a variety of clinical scenarios. The diagnosis and treatment planning will involve facial and intra-oral scanning, digital photography, 3D printed models and CBCT. The digital avatars will be uploaded into the lab design software to help communicate hard and soft tissue position relative to the patients face, and ideal tooth position will be established. The case studies will be presented in a step-by-step process so attendees will be able to visualize the process and repeat it in their own practice.

We are 40 years since Professor Branemark introduced his research on osseointegration to the dental community. Dental Implants provide our patients with successful long-term restorative solutions for function, comfort, and aesthetics. Today, Dental Hygienists are seeing more patients with dental implants. Implant manufacturers have introduced new implant designs, surfaces, and surface chemistry that affect biocompatibility and maintenance protocols. There are concerns about what materials we use to reduce peri-implant inflammation, may negatively affect the implant surface's biocompatibility and the implant’s long-term success. This CE webinar will review dental implant component materials and design and the biological compatibility of commonly used instruments, technology, and therapeutic materials.

Composite resin injectables are highly versatile materials that can be used in numerous scenarios to enhance cosmetic dental practices in a minimally invasive manner, while also facilitating everyday general dentistry. Mastery of composite dentistry, understanding proper adhesive protocols, and establishing effective isolation techniques are crucial steps toward gaining confidence in the functional outcomes of these restorations. In this CE webinar, our goal is to educate participants on how to confidently place predictable composite injectable restorations in both the esthetic zone and posterior teeth. We will cover various case types, including the increasingly popular fiber injectable composites used for build-up procedures. Additionally, we will provide an overview of the cementation protocols for indirect porcelain restorations using injectable materials.

Until recently, Dr. Sarah Winter, who runs a cosmetic focused practice in La Jolla CA, used two different composite systems for her direct restorative cases. She used a micro-filled composite for her anterior cases for high polishability and a bulk fill for her posterior cases which provided lots of strength. But recently, she found one material that actually does both, offering strength and esthetics. According to Dr. Winter, this newer material has made her life and her staff's a whole lot easier. Today we'll talk about her transition to this new restorative composite.
