Biofilm Management in Modern Periodontal and Peri-Implant Therapy Presenter: Dr. Andrea Ravidà Sponsor: EMS Dental Mon  10/19/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Mon  10/19/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Modern periodontal and peri-implant therapy is increasingly guided by biologically driven, minimally invasive principles aimed at effective biofilm disruption while preserving hard and soft tissues. The integration of piezoelectric instrumentation and air-polishing technologies allows clinicians to tailor biofilm management strategies according to the specific clinical indication. This CE webinar will describe the application of thin piezoelectric instrumentation for minimally invasive non-surgical periodontal therapy. The role of subgingival air polishing in the management of peri-implant mucositis will be discussed, with an emphasis on effective biofilm disruption while preserving implant surface integrity.

Two colleagues discuss recent advancements in technology-driven approaches to moving and reshaping teeth. Direct-printed clear aligner therapy is being adopted by a growing number of practitioners in both orthodontic and general practice settings. Dr. Vargo, a seasoned orthodontist, shares how printed aligners have influenced his daily treatment decisions and how this category of appliance differs from thermoformed systems currently available. Dr. Shaw, a general dentist of 25 years who recently incorporated printed aligner therapy into his practice, discusses the clinical outcomes he has observed. Together they review how they evaluate which cases carry a high probability of success and how they approach limiting treatment times and revisions.

From Overwhelm to Comfort: Creating Sensory-Friendly Dental Environments Presenter: Jeannette Diaz-Olivera, DHSc, MPH, RDHAP, FADHA Sponsor: GUM Thu  10/22/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/22/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Dental fear and anxiety are among the most common reasons patients delay or avoid oral healthcare. The dental environment is filled with sensory stimuli, including bright lights, unfamiliar sounds, smells, tastes, and touch sensations that can contribute to distress and discomfort. For individuals who are neurodivergent, have intellectual or developmental disabilities, have experienced trauma, or experience heightened anxiety, sensory processing differences may further impact their ability to tolerate dental treatment. This CE webinar introduces dental professionals to the role of sensory processing in the patient experience. It explores evidence-based sensory adaptations that can reduce anxiety, improve cooperation, and support more positive dental visits. Participants will learn practical, low-cost strategies to create a more sensory-friendly clinical environment and enhance patient-centered care for individuals across the lifespan.
