Utilizing Jaw Motion Tracking Technology as a Virtual Articulator
Presenter: Dr. Mark Kleive
Sponsor: Shining 3D
Mon  12/8/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Tue  12/9/25    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
Digital technology has made another advancement, allowing clinicians to explore the role of mandibular jaw motion tracking in enhancing digital aesthetic and restorative workflows. Participants will learn how motion tracking technology functions as a virtual articulator, enabling more precise treatment planning and predictable outcomes. Clinical case examples will illustrate how integrating jaw movement data with intraoral scanning and CAD/CAM systems supports accurate smile design, functional restorations, and improved patient care.


Cluster Shading - The Next Generation of Esthetic Restoratives
Presenter: Mr. Gregor Connell

The only constant in dental materials is change! Technological and chemical innovations are offering impressive advancements. Today’s conventional composites offer clinicians two options: First, the esthetic traditional layering technique and second, the bulk-fill technique. The former being the choice for most restorations in the anterior smile zone and the latter, often selected for the posterior regions of the mouth. While bulk-fill materials typically are deep-curing, time saving and offer clinical efficiency, they too often lack the esthetic properties required for beautiful esthetically demanding anterior restorations. For this reason, most clinicians have a second composite system in office that is designed to be placed in two-millimeter increments and will sometimes require a variety of shades to meet the esthetic demands. A new next-generation of resin composites is emerging. One that offers you the clinical efficiency of a bulk-fill, with an easy cluster shade-matching protocol and phenomenal esthetics! With outstanding, non-sticky handling and excellent polishability, perhaps now you only need one class of material for all of your restorative needs. At the conclusion of the CE webinar the attendees will have a clearer understanding of the clinical impact that this new chemistry and technology can have on their everyday restorative dentistry. More importantly, the attendees can evaluate if these evolutions may have a place in their own clinical practice.


Fluoride and Fluoride-Free Alternatives: Personalizing Care to Meet Individual Patient Needs
Presenter: LaVerne Thomas, RDH

Discover how this intuitive, dental-specific camera can elevate your practice—turning photography into one of your most effective clinical and communication tools. Dr. Standridge will share practical strategies for integrating photography into daily workflows, show real case examples, and explain how consistent, high-quality images enhance both clinical outcomes and patient trust.


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

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.

Tackling MIH and Trauma Lesions with Resin Infiltration
Presenter: Dr. Jeanette MacLean
Sponsor: DMG America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Unsightly congenital enamel defects from molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and trauma can be troublesome for many patients. Historically, these blemishes have been treated with invasive and costly resin bondings and veneers. Dealing with enamel defects can prove particularly troublesome for young patients, which when left untreated, often become a source of embarrassment for the patient. This CE webinar will review tips and tricks to manage these enamel defects with resin infiltration. This noninvasive approach can improve or even completely reverse the appearance of congenital enamel defects while preserving tooth structure and repairing the patient’s natural enamel.

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.
