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. In more advanced peri-implant disease, supra- and submucosal air-polishing approaches will be illustrated as part of a structured therapeutic protocol. Through clinical cases and protocol-based workflows, the webinar will demonstrate how the appropriate selection and integration of these technologies, guided by biological rationale and disease severity, can enhance precision, tissue preservation, and long-term periodontal and peri-implant stability.

When Orthodontics Meets Aesthetics: Technology Shaping the Future of Cosmetic Dentistry Presenter: Dr. Joseph Vargo and Dr. Stephen Shaw Sponsor: Solventum (formerly 3M Health Care) Wed  10/21/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  10/21/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

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. They also address referral relationships between general practice and orthodontics, and a team-based approach to case generation. Dr. Shaw will also cover minimally invasive cosmetic veneer technique using a custom, digitally designed 3D-printed matrix to injection mold chairside composite veneers - a technique he has used for nearly a decade. He will review the current generation of this matrix technology and discuss workflow considerations for no-prep and minimal-prep composite veneers, including factors relevant to clinicians new to the technique.

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.

Digital Implant Surgery: How 3D Printing changes the Guided Surgery Workflow Presenter: Dr. Nitish Surathu and Dr. Neeraj Surathu Sponsor: Rapid Shape Tue  10/27/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Tue  10/27/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

This CE webinar explores how 3D printing is transforming the digital workflow for guided implant surgery, from treatment planning through surgical guide fabrication and implant placement. Participants will learn how to integrate CBCT and intraoral scan data, evaluate implant planning software, and develop predictable treatment plans using digital technology. The webinar will also cover the design, 3D printing, and post-processing of surgical guides and restorations, with a focus on applying guided surgery protocols to improve implant accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes.

Similar But Not the Same: Cementation Considerations and Techniques for Zirconia vs Lithium Disilicate Crowns Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz Sponsor: Bisco CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate are the 2 most popular current materials for crowns in the US. Although they can looks very similar with their excellent esthetic properties, the materials themselves require different pre-cementation protocols and materials. Understanding the proper way to treat each material before final cementation can effect the long term clinical performance. Additionally, because of the difference in the strength of each material there can be several "best" choices of cements that can be used. This CE webinar is created to discuss and demonstrate the materials, techniques and protocols specific to each material.
