Join Dr. Ed McLaren for an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in next-generation zirconia materials and restorative workflows. Discover how recent innovations in zirconia technology are redefining esthetics, efficiency, and clinical performance through advanced material engineering. Learn how an optimized microstructure delivers exceptional translucency-even with accelerated firing protocols-while maintaining high flexural strength and lifelike optical properties that closely mimic natural dentition.
This CE webinar will examine the complete restorative workflow, from digital design and material selection to milling, sintering, characterization, and final finishing. In addition, Dr. McLaren will review evidence-based preparation designs and cementation protocols that optimize restoration longevity, fit, and esthetic outcomes across a wide range of clinical indications, from minimally invasive veneers to full-arch zirconia restorations. Attendees will gain practical insights they can immediately apply to improve efficiency, predictability, and patient satisfaction in ever

We have all had the experience of a painful crown delivery appointment. The pain isn’t referring to the patient’s experience...it’s referring to ours! As we grind on the interproximal contacts and the occlusal surfaces, we casually blame the laboratory: "They left it fat and high again!" Unfortunately, most of the time we need to turn our criticisms inward and recognize the provisional is most often the problem. It becomes an afterthought in our indirect restoration appointment, but it's incredibly important to the restorative process. Whether it be a single unit or 12 veneers, we need to be able to fabricate excellent provisionals. This CE webinar will discuss workflows to make the provisional process a breeze.

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. Dental hygienists will gain practical tools for recognizing airway-related red flags, implementing simple screening strategies within their scope, communicating findings confidently with patients, and integrating prevention-based periodontal care models that support long-term stability.

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. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how intentional surface anatomy and characterization influence the way composite interacts with light, along with practical techniques that can be incorporated into everyday anterior composite cases. The goal is not to create a “perfect” tooth—it is to create dentistry that disappears.

Risk assessments are the cornerstone of dental caries management, but there’s more to the process than filling out a form. If you feel stuck to a questionnaire, this presentation will help get you “off the page” and into a deeper conversation that changes behavior.
This CE webinar focuses on effective techniques for managing anterior implant aesthetics, specifically designed for general dentists. Often perceived as a complex procedure involving multiple specialists and numerous appointments, this webinar aims to simplify the approach, enabling general dentists to confidently handle these cases. Participants will gain insights into the entire process, covering fundamental principles for implant positioning, surgical guide fabrication, and various extraction techniques.
Part one of this two-part CE webinar series focuses on the foundational phases of the dental hygiene process of care—assessment, diagnosis, and planning. Participants will explore the essential components of each step, revisit traditional practices, and uncover opportunities for enhancement. A dedicated section on workflows provides practical strategies to streamline these phases, leveraging innovative technologies and tools to improve efficiency, accuracy, and patient outcomes. A review of relevant CDT codes ensures precise documentation and supports improved profitability. While designed primarily for dental hygienists, this series also offers valuable insights for dentists seeking to support and maximize the performance of their hygiene teams.

One of the most valuable steps a new dentist can take is finding a mentor—someone who’s been in the field for 25 years or more and has learned through experience, including their own mistakes. A mentor offers the chance to see what lies ahead, helping you avoid getting caught up in the moment and make well-thought-out decisions about the kind of practice you want to build and the investments you’ll need to make. Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Chris Pescatore, a general dentist with over 30 years of experience. He has been a pioneer in digital dentistry since the early ’90s and has seen it all when it comes to creating aesthetic restorations. As you listen to Dr. Pescatore’s insights, we hope you gain invaluable advice to help guide you as you embark on your own dental career.

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.
