Dental unit waterlines remain one of the most overlooked infection prevention challenges in dentistry, yet contaminated water can have serious consequences for both patients and dental teams. This engaging CE webinar separates fact from fiction while giving participants practical, evidence-based strategies they can implement immediately. We'll explore how biofilm forms, why it can be so difficult to eliminate, and what current research tells us about testing, treatment, maintenance, and documentation. You'll also discover how equipment design can play a role in reducing biofilm formation, including newer delivery systems engineered to minimize stagnant water and simplify long-term waterline maintenance. Whether you're just getting started or refining an existing waterline program, you'll leave with a realistic roadmap for keeping your dental unit waterlines clean, compliant, and working for you—not against you.

Infection control in the dental operatory often focuses on major protocols, yet many risks arise from small, routine oversights that occur during everyday procedures. These seemingly minor gaps such as improper handling of materials, inconsistent surface asepsis, and lapses in workflow can significantly increase the potential for cross-contamination and compromise both patient and provider safety.
This one-hour CE webinar will highlight common infection control missteps observed in clinical settings and provide practical, compliant strategies to reduce risk. Special attention will be given to the handling and management of chairside materials, including restorative products, and how proper utilization can support safer clinical workflows. Participants will leave with actionable techniques to strengthen infection control practices, improve compliance with OSHA and CDC guidelines, and create a more consistent culture of safety within the operatory.

Mastering the complexities of periodontal disease requires a seamless bridge between diagnostic precision and patient-centered execution. This case-based CE webinar is designed to demystify the AAP Periodontal Classification System, transforming it from a diagnostic checklist into a powerful framework for clinical decision-making.
Participants will engage in the practical application of staging and grading, learning how to translate clinical findings directly into highly customized, evidence-based treatment plans. Beyond the probe depths, we will explore the latest modalities in non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT), advanced biofilm management strategies, and the science behind individualized homecare recommendations.
Through guided, interactive case walkthroughs, you will apply these concepts to real-world clinical scenarios, sharpening your diagnostic ability and treatment confidence. Finally, because the best treatment plan only works if the patient partners with you, the course concludes with actionable Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques. You will leave equipped to elevate your patient communication, break down barriers to treatment acceptance, and inspire long-term homecare compliance.

Dental unit waterlines remain one of the most overlooked infection prevention challenges in dentistry. While biofilm forms naturally in every dental waterline system, inadequate waterline management can compromise patient safety, increase regulatory risk, and expose practices to unnecessary liability. Presented by the President of the Georgia Board of Dentistry, who championed the development of Georgia’s Dental Unit Waterline Rule, this CE webinar provides practical, evidence-based guidance for building a comprehensive waterline management program that supports long-term compliance and consistent clinical outcomes. Participants will gain insight into emerging regulatory expectations, proven strategies for sustainable waterline safety, and the key elements of a successful program that protects patients while reducing risk. Whether building a new program or strengthening an existing one, attendees will leave with practical insights to help create a lasting culture of safe dental water.

This CE webinar offers a comprehensive exploration of techniques for managing enamel defects including molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). Focusing on the causes, diagnosis and treatment of white spot lesions and hypo mineralised enamel. Attendees will gain insight into the treatment process and protocols for MIH using the latest advancements in resin infiltration and 3D printing custom bleaching trays.
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and the Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) extend beyond hematologic impact. This disease is responsible for a lot of hidden systemic conditions that influence oral tissue, dental development, and secondary infections that could result in a vaso-occlusive crises. This CE webinar will explore the connections between SCD/SCT and dental pathology. We will also cover chronic hypoxia, inflammation, vascular compromise, and their effects on the dentition. Participates will learn oral indicators of systemic disease, dental management strategies, and evidence based approaches using VOCO dental products.
The goal of this CE webinar is to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills to confidently integrate digital technology into their dental practices, transforming the way they create smiles and interact with patients. By exploring the latest advancements in digital tools and techniques, this webinar provides a comprehensive overview of how to enhance patient education, streamline workflows, and improve treatment outcomes through digital dentistry.
