Cementation Conundrums: What to Use When for Strength and Reliability
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Austin
Sponsor: Solventum (formerly 3M Health Care)
Mon  11/9/26    7:30 PM ET    4:30 PM PT
Tue  11/10/26    0:30 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
Zirconia or lithium disilicate? Retentive prep or short clinical crown? Bond it, or just cement it? With more restorative materials and more cement categories than ever, choosing what goes between the tooth and the restoration has become one of the most confusing decisions in everyday dentistry, and getting it wrong shows up later as debonds, sensitivity, and recurrent decay at the margin. In this CE webinar, Dr. Joshua Austin untangles the conundrum with a practical, evidence-based framework for matching the cement to the case. He will cover how restorative material, preparation design, and isolation drive the choice, along with the surface treatment, cleanup, and curing steps that determine whether a restoration lasts. He will also show how a simplified system built around a universal adhesive, a universal resin cement and a fluoride-releasing resin-modified glass ionomer can cover nearly every indirect case with less inventory and less room for error. Attendees will leave with a repeatable decision tree they can use the next morning.


Laser Assisted Endodontics
Presenter: Dr. Tariq Alsmadi
Sponsor: J. MORITA USA
Tue  11/10/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Wed  11/11/26    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
This CE webinar explores the role of lasers in endodontics, with an emphasis on improving root canal disinfection while preserving tooth structure. Participants will review the biological challenges posed by complex canal anatomy and bacterial biofilms, the principles of photothermal and photoacoustic effects, and the role of laser-assisted irrigation alongside conventional instrumentation and irrigation. Drawing on scientific literature and clinical examples, the webinar will discuss laser technology and considerations for case selection, technique, and safety. Clinical observations will be distinguished from published evidence, helping participants critically evaluate the benefits, limitations, and appropriate use of laser-assisted endodontic approaches.


Digital Technologies: The Real Deal

In the past 5 years digital technologies have advanced our clinical treatments and patient experiences. The digital connection in a private practice setting with the connection of laboratories and implant therapies is growing every year. Understanding the “REAL” connection and how to set up your office for efficiency, growth and predictability will be discussed. The new IOS scanners, Photogrammetry, 3D Facial Scanning and Jaw motion softwares are AI enhanced, and the components will help the clinician and patient achieve amazing results...DIGITALLY! The new digital technologies are here and adapting the latest developments is easy and exciting. In this CE webinar, attendees will gain insights on restoring varying types of cases, like Implants Aesthetics and Occlusion. We will demonstrate more predictable & efficient results with the help of exciting developments in the realm of digital dentistry, improving restorative outcomes and patients lives.

What if hygiene wasn’t simply a cleaning and wasn’t dictated by an insurance company’s definition of what should happen every six months?This CE webinar explores how Guided Biofilm Therapy can be integrated into a completely different approach to hygiene and preventive care — redesigning the entire experience around patient communication, diagnostics, frequency of care, perceived value, and the business model itself. Discover how GBT can become part of a modern, differentiated patient experience while moving beyond commoditized, insurance-driven hygiene. See how technology, positioning, and a new approach to care can deliver a better patient experience while building a more valuable and sustainable dental business.


Simplifying Veneer Cementation: Real-World Solutions for Predictable Delivery
Presenter: Dr. Jason Olitsky
Sponsor: Ivoclar

Porcelain veneer cementation is one of the most technique-sensitive stages of aesthetic treatment. In this one-hour CE webinar, Dr. Jason Olitsky presents a practical, step-by-step approach to delivering veneer cases with greater confidence and predictability. The webinar will review the critical stages of veneer try-in and cementation, including provisional removal, bleeding control, isolation, color evaluation, porcelain preparation, seating, cement cleanup, finishing, and occlusal adjustment. Real-world challenges such as show-through, tight contacts, incomplete seating, poor fit, exposed margins, and open gingival embrasures will also be discussed. Participants will leave with practical strategies they can immediately apply to simplify veneer delivery and improve aesthetic outcomes.

Move Ions, Move!
Presenter: Dr. Brian Novy
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)

Armed with new clinical guidelines based on recent systematic reviews, clinicians must choose between the comfort of what they’ve always done and what can stop and reverse dental caries. It’s time to move from bonding to chemical fusion.







Innovative Biomimetic Approaches to Injectable Composite
Presenter: Dr. Nader Yermian
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
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.

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Derse
Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.
