Current evidence shows that caries management is best done using an individualized risk assessment where detailed information about the specific risk factors of each patient can be used to establish the risk of developing future caries, and to create an effective treatment plan. This CE webinar will provide tips on implementing caries risk assessment protocols and offer evidence-based treatment options for your patients. Communication skills to help increase treatment acceptance will also be discussed.


GBT meets GPT: AI for Dental Hygiene

This CE webinar introduces dental professionals to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and its practical applications in patient care. Participants will explore how AI technologies are transforming diagnostics, documentation, and patient education in the dental operatory. Using a five-domain framework, the course examines how AI intersects with the full scope of dental practice: diagnostic, predictive, operational, professional/regulatory, and compassionate AI. Participants will discover how tools like GPT and GBT each deliver meaningful platform value and experience value, enhancing capability and quality across clinical workflows. Through real-world examples and practice-relevant case studies, this course will leave you informed, empowered, and ready to embrace the future of dental care.

Staying Alive: Bioactive Advances in Pulp Therapy highlights modern, evidence-based strategies for preserving pulp vitality. This CE webinar explores how bioactive materials support healing and regeneration of the dentin–pulp complex, with practical insight into indications, techniques, and material selection for vital pulp therapy. Designed for all clinicians, it connects science to everyday clinical decision-making.


Traditional vs. Custom Attachments: Improving Predictability in Clear Aligner Therapy
Presenter: Dr. Clayton Myers

Attachments play a critical role in aligner biomechanics, yet the method used to create and deliver attachments can significantly influence clinical efficiency, predictability, and esthetic outcomes. This CE webinar explores the differences between traditional attachment creation methods and custom attachment systems delivered via pre-fabricated trays. Participants will examine common challenges associated with conventional attachment workflows—such as technique sensitivity, variability in attachment shape, excess composite cleanup, and inconsistent engagement—and compare them with newer custom approaches designed to improve consistency and streamline clinical procedures. Practical considerations related to treatment planning, attachment placement, and bonding best practices will be discussed to help clinicians make informed decisions when selecting an attachment strategy for aligner therapy.


Chairside Challenges, Lifelong Smiles: Dental Care for the Aging Adult
Presenter: Sonya Dunbar, RDH

Oral health for older adults is an increasingly significant challenge in dentistry today. As people age, their risk of developing caries, periodontal disease, and other oral health complications rises. This heightened risk is often exacerbated by systemic health conditions, polypharmacy, and decreased dexterity, which can impact daily hygiene practices. Unlike younger populations, older adults face unique barriers, including complex medical histories, cognitive decline, and notable changes in insurance coverage after retirement. These factors not only affect their access to dental care but also influence how treatments must be planned and delivered. This evidence-based CE webinar equips dental professionals with practical strategies to enhance the quality of care for older adults in dental office settings. Participants will learn to identify the specific caries risk factors associated with aging patients, apply preventive and minimally invasive management strategies, and adjust treatment protocols for medically fragile individuals. The webinar will also address the impact of changing insurance structures after retirement on access to care, as well as how dental teams can navigate these challenges to provide effective and patient-centered outcomes.

Overcoming Digital Challenges with Optimal Material Choices
Presenter: Dr. Jeff Horowitz
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
In this CE webinar, participants will be guided through current digital workflows where critical decisions must be made. Analog versus scanned impressions, milling versus printing, and finally materials choices that can enhance outcomes will be discussed. Participants should leave this webinar with a more complete understanding of the decisions necessary for most restorative applications, along with an understanding of some of the materials that will optimize the end result.







Cluster Shading - The Next Generation of Esthetic Restoratives
Presenter: Mr. Gregor Connell
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
The only constant in dental materials is change! Technological and chemical innovations are offering impressive advancements. Today’s conventional composites offer clinicians two options: First, the esthetic traditional layering technique and second, the bulk-fill technique. The former being the choice for most restorations in the anterior smile zone and the latter, often selected for the posterior regions of the mouth. While bulk-fill materials typically are deep-curing, time saving and offer clinical efficiency, they too often lack the esthetic properties required for beautiful esthetically demanding anterior restorations. For this reason, most clinicians have a second composite system in office that is designed to be placed in two-millimeter increments and will sometimes require a variety of shades to meet the esthetic demands. A new next-generation of resin composites is emerging. One that offers you the clinical efficiency of a bulk-fill, with an easy cluster shade-matching protocol and phenomenal esthetics! With outstanding, non-sticky handling and excellent polishability, perhaps now you only need one class of material for all of your restorative needs. At the conclusion of the CE webinar the attendees will have a clearer understanding of the clinical impact that this new chemistry and technology can have on their everyday restorative dentistry. More importantly, the attendees can evaluate if these evolutions may have a place in their own clinical practice.

So there are quite a few materials to choose from these days when it comes to our indirect restorations. Today we'll be talking about the popular ones and we'll also be discussing how we get them to stay on the tooth, meaning, do we go adhesive or cohesive and what are some of the materials we should be considering. To tell us all about is our guest Dr. Alex Vasserman, a practicing dentist in NYC.

Guest: Amanda Hill, RDH
So how do we elevate our practice and what does elevating our practice do for our career, business and patients. It actually does quite a lot. For one, it helps with employee retention. A recent poll showed that the number one reason why a dental hygienist leaves a dental practice is because the practice is not innovative, it's doing the same ol same ol and they feel they are stuck in a rut, not learning anything new. nor are they trying new techniques and products. Also part of our episode today is talking about incorporating diagnostics into our practice. Instead of rushing through the medical history and moving right to our scaling, root planing and prophies, we should dedicate time to diagnostic testing, getting to the root cause of the problem. As our guest Amanda Hill will explain, diagnostic testing is a game-changer for the practice and not only builds trust between the practice and the patient, but also drives revenue to a whole new level.
