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.


Highly Esthetic Tooth and Implant-supported Restorations: An Update on the Latest Materials, Workflows, and Techniques for 2026
Presenter: Dr. Julian Conejo
Sponsor: Kuraray Noritake
Thu  10/15/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Thu  10/15/26    11:00 PM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
A step by step digital workflow to improve success rates on single and multiple-unit tooth and implant restorations will be presented. The main objective of this CE webinar is to show how treatment time optimization and better clinical outcomes are possible with the implementation of digital tools. This webinar will show how to collect patient's initial data to create the "Digital Clone", discussing key points from photography setups to intraoral scanning tips and tricks for better communication with the dental laboratory. Design and fabrication of highly esthetic provisional and definitive restorations with 3D printed and milled material options will be explained to improve clinical efficiency on tooth and implant-supported restorations.


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
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
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.

Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
