Ortho in a Box for Dentists that Think Outside the Box

Let’s face it: the aligner market is crowded and dentistry is compartmentalized. How do you navigate the products, systems, scanners, education, training, and chairside management to deliver exceptional orthodontics in-house? The same autonomy and independence doctors value is also a hurdle when it comes to diversifying your practice and providing orthodontic treatment plans. You can do ortho and you should do ortho, but you shouldn’t do it alone. We believe in collaboration, communication, and transparency to provide the best orthodontic care in the world without the learning curve and headaches. In this CE webinar, learn how you can access all orthodontic resources and materials, including a virtual ABO Board-Certified orthodontist, on one easy platform to optimize your modern practice and patient experience.


The Mental Dental Connection: The Secret to Being a Better Clinician and Leader
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Austin

Anxiety, pain, depression, burnout. Dentistry can be difficult and take a toll. Studies show us that dental professionals experience a high incidence of mental illness. Additionally, many dental professionals don’t clearly understand the mental health conditions that our patients present with, which red flags to watch for, or what to do/how to intervene. Presented in Dr. Joshua Austin’s trademark comedic style, this CE webinar explores strategies for working together to improve mental health so we can be our best. Learn how to recognize triggers and warning signs. Identify essential tools and resources. Discover how and when to refer to a mental health professional. Explore and understand mental health terms, common treatments and therapy options. Gain coping mechanisms and learn how to manage expectations – both our own and those of our patients. Dental professionals often examine the physical aspects of wellness yet we rarely explore or discuss the mental aspects. It is time to remove the taboo and face the facts.

No One Likes Shrinkage: Optimizing Long-term Restorations
Presenter: Dr. Peter Auster
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
The secrets to long lasting restorations are partially under our control and partially determined by attributes within the materials used. Strength is important. Lower levels of shrinkage are key. But so are preparation guidelines, minimizing water and saliva contamination, as well as occlusal forces. Dr. Peter Auster analyzes the benefits of some of today’s best composites as well as ways to optimize their lifetime.







The Value of Being Seen: Elevating Care for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Presenter: Jeannette Diaz, RDH, RDHAP, MS, MPH, FADHA
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Health inequities persist for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities experience poorer oral health and challenges accessing dental care. Historically, dental curriculum did not require training dental professionals on how to care for and manage treatment of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Providers often report feeling unprepared to care for this population. This course will evaluate the current barriers to care, identify complex factors contributing to oral health and equip the dental provider with strategies to improve patient care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.







I Can’t Take All This Science!
Presenter: Dr. Brian Novy
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Remineralization used to be as simple as "put some fluoride on it!" But is the array of products available today claiming “remineralization” pushing the limits of oral healthcare? In a clinical world of dry mouth and acidic beverages, perhaps we’re putting too much faith in an antiquated understanding of what happens on the surface of a tooth. The science of reversing demineralization can be summarized easily, but clinicians would be wise to realize it takes more than an electronegative anion to rebuild the strongest biological substance on earth. How far can we push chemistry before accepting biochemistry makes more sense, and what could go horribly wrong?

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Jennifer Derse
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.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.

Series: DMG America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Miles Cone
Dr. Miles Cone is a prosthodontist who shares how bringing a 3D printer into his practice has completely transformed the way he works—making things more efficient, productive, and yes, even more profitable. He talks about how this technology has opened the door to doing things differently, from quickly fabricating models and occlusal guards to whitening trays and provisionals—all in-house, and often the same day. He’ll also share what to look for when choosing a printer, and reveal his personal favorite and why. According to Dr. Cone, 3D printing isn’t just the future—it’s a total game-changer in how we practice dentistry today.
