Restorative dentistry often delivers the best results when teeth are ideally positioned before treatment begins. This 1-hour CE webinar explores how clear aligner therapy can be used strategically to create a foundation for long-lasting, esthetic, and functional restorative outcomes. Participants will learn how to identify cases where minor tooth movement simplifies restorative procedures, reduces invasiveness, and enhances patient satisfaction. The webinar will cover treatment planning principles, sequencing aligners with restorative phases, and effective patient communication to encourage acceptance of pre-restorative orthodontics. Through case examples, clinicians will gain practical skills to integrate aligner therapy seamlessly into everyday restorative care.

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) affects your quality of life and your overall health. The ability to safely swallow is vital for adequate nutrition and hydration, and it prevents foods and liquids from entering your lungs, where they can cause pneumonia. Depending on which part of the swallowing process is affected, dysphagia can be described as:
• Oral dysphagia — when the problem is in the mouth, usually due to the movement of the tongue
• Pharyngeal or oropharyngeal dysphagia — when the problem is regarding food passing through the throat
• Esophageal dysphagia — when food is unable to move down through the esophagus
Swallowing disorders can lead to tooth decay and other oral health issues if they cause food or liquid to remain in the mouth. This can increase the risk of cavities and other oral diseases.

The conventional “watch-and-wait” philosophy for caries management has become increasingly obsolete in clinical practice. Contemporary dentistry demands a proactive paradigm that leverages advanced preventive and therapeutic modalities to mitigate disease progression. Passive observation of early carious lesions exposes patients to the risk of untreated progression and potential tooth loss. Current best practices advocate for interventions that prioritize prevention and early management, utilizing evidence-based protocols such as silver diamine fluoride. These approaches enable immediate response when caries is detected, arresting lesions and optimizing patient outcomes. For individuals at elevated risk, the critical question shifts to identifying which preventive strategies—beyond traditional diagnostics or age-based recommendations—will offer the most robust protection. The future of caries care is personalized, risk-based, and tailored to each patient’s unique clinical needs, guided by individual risk factors rather than generalized guidelines or insurance limitations.

In this one-hour CE webinar, Dr. Karson Carpenter, President of Compliance Training Partners, will review the most common violations seen by his organization over the past year. In addition, information will be provided on how to conduct a detailed HIPAA Audit of your facility, to quickly see where you are in compliance and where you are not. In addition to being a requirement, the audit will dramatically reduce the liability of your business.

This CE webinar covers the pros and cons of 3D imaging vs. 2D imaging, while building on previous topics covered in the first webinar. At the end we will consider the implications of these modalities when it comes to assessing for pathology in the oral and maxillofacial region.
Managing cosmetic cases involving endodontically treated teeth can be challenging. Loss of tooth structure following trauma or caries removal along with endodontic treatment can compromise the strength and appearance of an anterior tooth. This CE webinar will review key points to obtaining an esthetic result while observing minimally invasive protocols.
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?

Minimally Invasive Dentistry are more than just buzz words. In fact, today we can do amazing things to treat decay and save a tooth without doing any drilling at all. To tell us all about it is Crystal Spring. She is a registered dental hygienist who spends her life operating her mobile dental practice throughout the state of Montana. She has had amazing success with arresting, regenerating and saving teeth through noninvasive means. We are very happy to have her share some of the work she is doing in the area of prevention and minimally invasive dentistry.
