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.

Bonding to Primary Teeth: Why It’s Harder and How to Make It Work
Presenter: Dr. Ryan Cormack
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Bonding procedures that perform reliably in permanent teeth can be less predictable when applied to primary teeth. Many clinicians experience frustrations such as early sealant loss, marginal breakdown of pediatric restorations, and bonding failures that seem difficult to explain. Differences in enamel structure, dentin composition, and the clinical conditions commonly encountered in pediatric dentistry create unique challenges for achieving durable adhesion. As a result, clinicians often face issues such as reduced sealant retention, restoration failure, and sensitivity to moisture contamination during pediatric bonding procedures. This CE webinar examines the structural and chemical differences between primary and permanent teeth and how those differences influence adhesive performance. Participants will review the science behind enamel etching, dentin bonding, and hybrid layer formation in primary teeth, along with practical strategies to improve bond reliability in everyday pediatric practice. The webinar will also explore common causes of bonding failure and practical techniques that help clinicians achieve more consistent outcomes. Real-world protocols will be discussed for managing moisture contamination, optimizing etch patterns, and selecting adhesive materials that support reliable bonding in young patients. Attendees will gain practical insights that can improve restoration longevity, enhance sealant retention, and reduce clinical frustration when bonding to primary teeth.







Smart Materials, Smarter Dentistry: Unlocking the Power of Glass Restoratives
Presenter: Dr. Jeanette MacLean
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Take your patient care to the next level by incorporating materials that do more than just ‘fill’ or ‘seal’ teeth. Hydrophilic, bulk-fill, biomimetic, desensitizing, remineralizing. The chemical and physical properties of glass ionomer restoratives make them an ideal dental material choice. For clinicians that are either new to glass restoratives or looking to expand their use of these materials, the wide array of products can sometimes create confusion. Dr. MacLean will use case studies to demonstrate how she utilizes different materials to achieve clinical success. Learn how glass ionomer cement sealants can do more than just provide a physical barrier from plaque on pits and fissures, they are hydrophilic, can be placed on partially erupted molars, and act as a fluoride reservoir that helps to prevent caries and enhance remineralization. Glass hybrid restoratives help to reduce post-op sensitivity, reduce recurrent caries, improve outcomes, and have enhanced physical properties for long-lasting durability and esthetics. Dental materials are evolving and so should you!

Guest: Dr. Christopher Pescatore
One of the most valuable steps a new dentist can take is finding a mentor—someone who’s been in the field for 25 years or more and has learned through experience, including their own mistakes. A mentor offers the chance to see what lies ahead, helping you avoid getting caught up in the moment and make well-thought-out decisions about the kind of practice you want to build and the investments you’ll need to make. Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Chris Pescatore, a general dentist with over 30 years of experience. He has been a pioneer in digital dentistry since the early ’90s and has seen it all when it comes to creating aesthetic restorations. As you listen to Dr. Pescatore’s insights, we hope you gain invaluable advice to help guide you as you embark on your own dental career.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Marc Geissberger
In this episode, we're talking with Dr. Marc Geissberger, a dentist who has practiced general and cosmetic dentistry for over 30 years. He was Chairman of the Department of Restorative Dentistry for 15 years at University of Pacific Dental School. We'll discuss how composite materials have evolved, what you should look for when evaluating a new composite restorative material, and how universal composites are changing the way many dentists approach direct restorations. We'll address a new universal composite that has attributes that can significantly help clinicians reduce shrinkage, improve diagnostic accuracy and provide the strength, handling and sustained polishability we're looking for in our direct restorative cases. Lots of clinical pearls in this one!

Guest: Dr. John Zalesky
Composite dentistry has changed dramatically over the past decade. We've gone from stocking dozens of shades and multiple classes of composites to universal composites, simplified adhesive systems, and new techniques that promise better results with less complexity. But are these advances really changing the way we practice? Is one universal composite enough for most clinical situations? Does composite warming actually improve outcomes? And could something as simple as your curing technique be the difference between a restoration that lasts for years—or one that fails prematurely? Dr. John Zalesky will help us separate the science from the marketing as we discuss today's universal composite restorative materials, the evolution of universal adhesives and selective etching and why one particular universal composite is generating so much attention. If you're looking to simplify your composite restorative workflow without sacrificing quality, you won't want to miss this conversation.
