Enamel Opacities Simplified: Digital Diagnosis and Modern Minimally Invasive Solutions
Presenter: Dr. Troy Schmedding, DDS, AACD
Sponsor: DMG America
Wed  10/7/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Wed  10/7/26    11:00 PM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
Enamel opacities - white spot lesions, fluorosis, trauma, and MIH - complicate diagnosis and treatment. This CE webinar offers a modern, simplified approach using transillumination, digital workflows, and updated materials to assess lesion depth and select the right treatment, including resin infiltration. Case examples cover expectation management and efficient, predictable outcomes - helping dentists deliver minimally invasive esthetic care with confidence and consistency.


Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease - Part 2
Presenter: LD Coaching
Sponsor: VOCO America
Thu  10/8/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway-inflammation-periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits.


Beyond Shape: Characterization and Texture in Direct Composite Veneers
Presenter: Dr. Drew Ballard
Sponsor: Tokuyama Dental America
Mon  10/12/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

Creating a beautiful direct composite veneer is about more than achieving the right shape and shade. The details that ultimately make a restoration feel natural are often found in the final stages: surface texture, characterization, anatomy, light reflection, and the subtle imperfections that allow the dentistry to blend seamlessly with the surrounding dentition. In this CE webinar, Dr. Drew Ballard will share his approach to characterization and texture in direct composite resin veneers, demonstrating how he takes a restoration from simply well-shaped to natural and lifelike.


Maximizing Dental Suction and Safety: A New Approach to Amalgam Separation
Presenter: Dr. Marie Fluent
Sponsor: Air Techniques
Tue  10/13/26    8:30 PM ET    5:30 PM PT
Wed  10/14/26    0:30 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
This one-hour CE webinar introduces a revolutionary, filter-free amalgam separation system designed to operate independently of your central vacuum. Participants will explore how bypassing the central vacuum optimizes aerosol capture and maintains peak suction performance without clogging from prophylaxis paste. The webinar highlights critical infection control advantages, including the reduction of saliva, blood, and contaminated aerosols at the clinical site, and enhances operator visualization and patient comfort. Additionally, attendees will learn how this technology lowers amalgam recycling costs and prevents toxic waste from entering municipal water systems and supports environmental sustainability.


Innovative Approaches to Early Caries Management
Presenter: Lisa Mayo, RDH, BSDH, MHA
Sponsor: vVardis
Wed  10/14/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Wed  10/14/26    11:00 PM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
This 1 hour CE webinar examines current and emerging methodologies for the detection and non-invasive management of early dental caries. Participants will review recent evidence supporting minimally invasive interventions in comparison to traditional methodologies and discuss clinical protocols that preserve natural tooth structure while improving long-term outcomes.

Modern Adhesive Restorative Techniques
Presenter: Dr. Christopher Pescatore
Sponsor: COLTENE
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
This CE webinar will deal with numerous aspects of comprehensive restorative aesthetic dentistry and efficient patient care in today’s dental practice. We will discuss how to make routine dental procedures such as adhesion and direct resins more predictable and efficient using the latest material technologies. Also discussed will be the indirect restoration protocol including preparation design for the current restorative materials and the use of impression materials vs digital technologies. Insertion protocols will also be addressed to aide the clinician in developing a foolproof method to deliver high quality, long-lasting restorations.







Using Clear Aligners to Set up a Great Restorative Outcome
Presenter: Dr. Sheila Samaddar
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Restorative dentistry often delivers the best results when teeth are ideally positioned before treatment begins. This 1-hour CE webinar explores how clear aligner therapy can be used strategically to create a foundation for long-lasting, esthetic, and functional restorative outcomes. Participants will learn how to identify cases where minor tooth movement simplifies restorative procedures, reduces invasiveness, and enhances patient satisfaction. The webinar will cover treatment planning principles, sequencing aligners with restorative phases, and effective patient communication to encourage acceptance of pre-restorative orthodontics. Through case examples, clinicians will gain practical skills to integrate aligner therapy seamlessly into everyday restorative care.







The Anion’s Final Bow?
Presenter: Dr. Brian Novy
Sponsor: VOCO America

The expanding landscape of the oral microbiome is redefining our understanding of oral health and disease. With the rapid increase in new therapeutics and changing evidence, we can still practice preventive rather than reparative dentistry.


Featured Podcast Episodes
Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Jeff Horowitz
We'll be talking about the 3D printer itself as well as the materials that go into them. So if you thinking about incorporating 3D printing into your practice stay tuned for a very interesting episode. Our guest is Dr. Jeffrey Horowitz, a seasoned clinician and educator who is passionate about dentists seeing themselves as Oral and Facial Health Care Physicians rather than tooth mechanics.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Sam Simos
For decades, dentists have been trained to believe that different clinical situations demand different composite materials—one for strength in the posterior, another for esthetics in the anterior, and often several more just to manage shade. But today, material science is challenging that long-held mindset. In this episode, we’re taking a hard look at whether we’ve truly entered the era of the universal composite—a single material that does it all. Our guest is Dr. Sam Simos, a general dentist for over 30 years practicing outside of Chicago Illinois. He is a well-respected speaker, clinician and product evaluator.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Marc Geissberger
In this episode, we're talking with Dr. Marc Geissberger, a dentist who has practiced general and cosmetic dentistry for over 30 years. He was Chairman of the Department of Restorative Dentistry for 15 years at University of Pacific Dental School. We'll discuss how composite materials have evolved, what you should look for when evaluating a new composite restorative material, and how universal composites are changing the way many dentists approach direct restorations. We'll address a new universal composite that has attributes that can significantly help clinicians reduce shrinkage, improve diagnostic accuracy and provide the strength, handling and sustained polishability we're looking for in our direct restorative cases. Lots of clinical pearls in this one!
