Achieving compliant dental unit waterlines (DUWL) requires more than random maintenance; it requires a disciplined, repeatable strategy. This CE webinar provides a comprehensive breakdown of the proven Test, Shock, and Maintain protocol, designed to ensure your practice meets or exceeds CDC and EPA standards for water quality. Participants will learn why testing is the critical first step in any protocol—identifying hidden biofilm loads before they lead to failure. We will explore the technical nuances of shocking to clear existing contamination and the daily importance of maintaining lines to prevent regrowth. Integrating these steps into a unified system that simplifies compliance and protects patients ensures long-term clinical success.


Creating Natural Harmony with Modern Super-Composites

The difference between Biomimetic/Natural and conventional dentistry is that biomimetic attempts to duplicate the missing tooth structure with restorative materials that match their natural physical properties. A key aspect of this is to dramatically reduce stress on the adhesive materials so they can provide long-term use and durability for direct and indirect restorations. If clinical techniques have high-stress then the bonds will be low, conversely, if the clinical techniques have low-stress then the bonds will be high and more likely to succeed. This CE webinar will discuss and illustrate low-stress, high-bond techniques for direct composites as well as techniques on blending and highlighting your restorations. Key clinical tips will be shown to increase the esthetics of direct composites.

We’ve all seen the headlines – “Fluoride is Poison”, “Fluoride Decreases IQ”, “Fluoride is an Industrial Waste”. Apart from stirring up public discussion, this type of press may result in new challenges for practicing clinicians. Historically, the biggest push back to varnish was and still may be cost but how do you handle the health concerns a patient may have? As tough as these questions are, at least they mean there is room for discourse! As you know, some patients might outright refuse and not be open to conversation. In this CE webinar, we will explore how to overcome fluoride hesitancy among patients with practical recommendations you can implement into your everyday routine. We’ll review current, high-quality research that clearly demonstrates the safety and benefits of fluoride, while also sharing practical communication strategies to help you address patient concerns, rebuild trust, and continue advancing prevention in your practice. With the removal of systemic fluorides, the dental hygiene community is on the front line in caries prevention.

The stress of day to day practice does not always allow us to introduce new materials into to our daily routines. Fear of failure and extensive learning curves often leave dentists stuck with materials that are not current and/or materials that may not work as well as a modern advancement. In this CE webinar, join us as we explore a new/updated restorative material and how it not only can change the way we practice but also how it benefits our patients.

The days of 35 shades of composite are over and so are the days of composites that stick to everything but teeth. Introducing: bold new composites that do everything better than what we had before. Better handling, better shades, better management of ambient light. These are truly new and the best we’ve ever seen.

Adhesive Dentistry - What, Why, and How
Presenter: Dr. Todd Snyder
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
There is a concept in dentistry that somehow adhesion is better and yet we see amalgams and crowns, held on by zinc phosphate cement, are still working in patients mouths 40+ years later but we see failure rates and replacements of various adhesive dentistry in 5-10 years. Where techniques use to be more simplistic with less steps and basic fundamentals we achieved success, and now we throw out many of those concepts and replace them with adhesion, we expect to find longevity. Are you seeing longevity or are you seeing more sensitivity, problems, failures or costly redos? This CE webinar is a look at where we are at with modern adhesion and what we believe we know. The goal is to give you some systems, tools and thoughts to consider to help you and your patients to have better longevity and success in the restorative dentistry you provide.

Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe
According to our guest, Dr. Mauricio Watanabe, a world-respected speaker and clinician, by using a highly filled nano-composite to fabricate the crown, the same material we use for our deep margin elevation and filling in our undercuts, a semi-direct full coverage restoration will provide long-term predictable success. And Dr. Watanabe has years of cases and research to support his opinion. The whole procedure can be done in 30 minutes when pouring your impression with a fast setting silicone material. So if you're looking to practice conservative dentistry and preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible and still deliver a full coverage crown, you might find the semi-direct restoration an excellent option for many of your large caries cases. Dr. Lauren Rainey, a well-respected clinician and KOL will also be joining us.
