Improving dental practice profitability rarely comes down to a single piece of equipment. It depends on how well the systems in a practice work together, from reliable utility equipment to efficient operatories and tools that stay in service. In most practices, profitability is closely tied to four operational factors: equipment uptime, operatory efficiency, maintenance speed, and equipment longevity. Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be better positioned to maintain consistent patient flow and protect their production schedules.

Through real-world case studies, evidence-based strategies, and integrative thinking, this webinar challenges the traditional care model and equips clinicians to become advocates for total patient wellness. Participants will also learn how to educate and empower patients to take an active role in their own health journeys—fostering trust, engagement, and long-term compliance.

Pushing the Envelope: Direct and Indirect Posterior Solutions with Composite
Presenter: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
The science and technology built into dental composite resins is impressive, but rarely do practitioners (or patients) realize how versatile our materials really can be. Direct placement is the most common approach for composite, but by relying on the material science within, predictable indirect composite restorations can also be life-like, strong and long lasting. Join the co-presenters in this CE webinar as they review cases from North and South America as they compare and contrast uses of composite resin in their daily practice.

The goal is for the clinician to confidently discuss and integrate this effective and rewarding procedure into their practices.

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.
