Both dental hygienists and dentists play an important role in the early detection of oral cancer, yet there is a critical gap in screening protocols. After performing an oral cancer screening, patients often say, "No one has ever done that before." This CE webinar breaks down the components of a comprehensive visual and tactile, extraoral, and intraoral evaluation, and the signs and symptoms associated with oral and oropharyngeal cancer as an important component in screening. Using Susan’s instructional screening videos and case presentations, attendees will learn proper extraoral palpation, the importance of identifying lymphadenopathy, evaluation of the thyroid gland, and the oropharynx. ADA and ADHA oral cancer policies and coding will be reviewed.
A comprehensive oral cancer screening isn’t optional. Let’s close the gap together, elevate the standard of care in screening, calibrate dental professionals nationwide, and increase early detection. Attendees will leave inspired and with a renewed commitment to performing this life-saving evaluation – every patient, every visit.

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.

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.

Discover how universal composites are transforming restorative dentistry with true versatility across anterior and posterior applications. This one-hour CE webinar explores the material science behind universal composites and how innovations in filler technology, polymerization shrinkage management, and shade matching are enabling clinicians to achieve predictable results in diverse clinical scenarios. Through case presentations and practical insights, you'll learn techniques and protocols for optimizing shade selection, placement, and finishing while simplifying your material selection. Whether you're restoring front teeth or molars, walk away with strategies to enhance workflow efficiency across your entire restorative practice without compromising clinical excellence.
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.
This CE webinar will discuss which criteria needs to be met such as optimal primary stability, correct 3D positioning, etc., during immediate implant placement in the anterior region. Additionally, the Dr. Rocha will discuss the creation of an immediate provisional restoration on the implant while respecting biological principles leading to preservation of the papillae, gingival volume, and recession prevention. A step-by-step case will be presented showcasing the use of a stratified composite resin for both the provisional restoration as well as the infrastructure.

Dental implants have transformed restorative dentistry, but placing an implant is only the beginning. The real challenge—and the key to long-term success—is proper maintenance. Yet many clinicians are still relying on protocols they learned years ago, despite growing evidence that some traditional techniques, instruments, and even preventive products may do more harm than good. So what should today's implant maintenance protocol actually look like? Joining us is dental hygienist Lynn Pencek, who brings a unique combination of clinical experience and industry expertise. Lynn is passionate about helping hygienists and dentists cut through the confusion surrounding implant maintenance with practical, evidence-based guidance. In this episode, we'll explore why implant maintenance remains such a misunderstood topic, uncover the truth behind metallosis and tribo-corrosion, discuss how instrument and polishing choices can impact implant surfaces, examine the surprising relationship between fluoride and titanium implants, and reveal the modern protocols every practice should be implementing to help ensure long-term implant success.

This episode addresses how MTA—mineral trioxide aggregate—can be used as both an indirect and direct pulp cap and is ideal for perforations. MTA isn’t just an endodontist's material—it’s very much a general dentist’s material as well. Especially now, as more of us focus on minimally invasive dentistry and are doing everything we can to preserve the natural tooth. Our guest is Dr. Ryan Walsh, who maintains a full time private practice in Keller, TX. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics (ABE) and serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Journal of Endodontics. Dr. Walsh maintains an appointment as Adjunct Assistant Professor at Texas A&M College of Dentistry and is actively involved in clinical research pertaining to bioactive materials, resorption processes, and clinical outcomes. He has lectured nationally and internationally on several topics in his specialty and has published multiple peer-reviewed articles and abstracts.

In this episode, we're diving into the injection composite technique—a digital workflow that's helping dentists create predictable, lifelike restorations without relying solely on advanced freehand sculpting skills. Dr. Phil Klein sits down with Dr. Mackenzie Kelley, a cosmetic dentist, educator, and adjunct faculty member at Indiana University School of Dentistry. Dr. Kelly explains why this technique has become one of her go-to solutions for anterior composite dentistry, the clinical steps, the materials she trusts for outstanding esthetic outcomes, and how to determine when the injection composite technique is the right choice versus a traditional freehand approach. If you've been avoiding esthetic anterior composite cases because you don't love hand sculpting, this episode could completely change the way you practice direct restorative cosmetic dentistry.
