This isn’t your typical composite webinar. Dr. John Gammichia, a full-time private practice dentist, practices in the real world - where patients fracture cusps and can’t always afford a build-up and onlay or crown. So what’s the solution - extract the tooth? Or consider a beautifully executed 2-, 3-, 4-, or even 5-cusp composite restoration?
We’ll begin with foundational Class I and Class II restorations, reviewing adhesion principles and current biomimetic concepts. From there, we’ll build your skills and confidence. How do you approach large restorations? Deep decay? Cases that are both extensive and deep? What about cracks?
We’ll also address the practical concerns: What are the barriers to practicing this way? Do these restorations last? Can this approach be profitable?
This CE webinar will be engaging and thought-provoking but expect to be pushed outside your comfort zone. Dr. Gammichia intends to challenge your thinking. By the end, you’ll be saying, "Holy Cow! I Didn't Know You Could do that with Composite.

Achieving compliant dental unit waterlines (DUWL) requires more than random maintenance; it requires a disciplined, repeatable strategy. This CE webinar provides a comprehensive breakdown of the proven Test, Shock, and Maintain protocol, designed to ensure your practice meets or exceeds CDC and EPA standards for water quality. Participants will learn why testing is the critical first step in any protocol—identifying hidden biofilm loads before they lead to failure. We will explore the technical nuances of shocking to clear existing contamination and the daily importance of maintaining lines to prevent regrowth. Integrating these steps into a unified system that simplifies compliance and protects patients ensures long-term clinical success.

The difference between Biomimetic/Natural and conventional dentistry is that biomimetic attempts to duplicate the missing tooth structure with restorative materials that match their natural physical properties. A key aspect of this is to dramatically reduce stress on the adhesive materials so they can provide long-term use and durability for direct and indirect restorations. If clinical techniques have high-stress then the bonds will be low, conversely, if the clinical techniques have low-stress then the bonds will be high and more likely to succeed. This CE webinar will discuss and illustrate low-stress, high-bond techniques for direct composites as well as techniques on blending and highlighting your restorations. Key clinical tips will be shown to increase the esthetics of direct composites.

We’ve all seen the headlines – “Fluoride is Poison”, “Fluoride Decreases IQ”, “Fluoride is an Industrial Waste”. Apart from stirring up public discussion, this type of press may result in new challenges for practicing clinicians. Historically, the biggest push back to varnish was and still may be cost but how do you handle the health concerns a patient may have? As tough as these questions are, at least they mean there is room for discourse! As you know, some patients might outright refuse and not be open to conversation.
In this CE webinar, we will explore how to overcome fluoride hesitancy among patients with practical recommendations you can implement into your everyday routine. We’ll review current, high-quality research that clearly demonstrates the safety and benefits of fluoride, while also sharing practical communication strategies to help you address patient concerns, rebuild trust, and continue advancing prevention in your practice. With the removal of systemic fluorides, the dental hygiene community is on the front line in caries prevention.

The stress of day to day practice does not always allow us to introduce new materials into to our daily routines. Fear of failure and extensive learning curves often leave dentists stuck with materials that are not current and/or materials that may not work as well as a modern advancement. In this CE webinar, join us as we explore a new/updated restorative material and how it not only can change the way we practice but also how it benefits our patients.

This CE webinar covers key considerations for using cone beam computed tomography in clinical practice. Understanding these topics will enable you to maximize the benefits of your cone beam for both you and your patients.
Patients present to our offices almost daily with anterior teeth that need restorations, including ones that replace a portion of the tooth that is readily visible to the patient and others. In these cases, we can choose to restore the area with a direct or indirect restoration. Indirect restorations are managed often times by a ceramist, but direct restorations require a thorough knowledge of the material and the understanding of effective layering to achieve a restoration that blends in naturally with the sounding tooth structure. In this CE webinar, we will utilize a restorative material that simplifies the layering techniques to achieve an outstanding result.
Achieve success in creating lasting indirect restorations as a clinician. Emphasizing proactive case planning and meticulous preparation with the right tools is essential for favorable outcomes. Proficiently capturing both digital and traditional impressions ensures precise communication with the lab, contributing to well-fitted restorations. Master the final bonding and cementation processes to attain excellent results in your clinical practice.

So there are quite a few materials to choose from these days when it comes to our indirect restorations. Today we'll be talking about the popular ones and we'll also be discussing how we get them to stay on the tooth, meaning, do we go adhesive or cohesive and what are some of the materials we should be considering. To tell us all about is our guest Dr. Alex Vasserman, a practicing dentist in NYC.

In today’s episode, we’re addressing an often-overlooked topic in dentistry—managing dental patients with Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell Trait. These patients face unique challenges, and unfortunately, many are turned away from dental practices simply because their condition isn’t well understood. Our guest, Linda Chandler, RDH, s a graduate of the University of Texas School of Dental Hygiene, past President of the Southeast National Dental Hygiene Association, author, educator and voted top hygienist of the year 2012.
