Both dental hygienists and dentists play an important role in the early detection of oral cancer, yet there is a critical gap in screening protocols. After performing an oral cancer screening, patients often say, "No one has ever done that before." This CE webinar breaks down the components of a comprehensive visual and tactile, extraoral, and intraoral evaluation, and the signs and symptoms associated with oral and oropharyngeal cancer as an important component in screening. Using Susan's instructional screening videos and case presentations, attendees will learn proper extraoral palpation, the importance of identifying lymphadenopathy, evaluation of the thyroid gland, and the oropharynx. ADA and ADHA oral cancer policies and coding will be reviewed.
A comprehensive oral cancer screening isn't optional. Let's close the gap together, elevate the standard of care in screening, calibrate dental professionals nationwide, and increase early detection. Attendees will leave inspired and with a renewed commitment to performing this life-saving evaluation - every patient, every visit.

Direct resin has become one of the restorative materials of choice in both general and high-end esthetic practices. The explosion of demand by patients for esthetic dental services has led to an array of new dental products and treatments for practitioners to choose from. A new generation of composite resins can be utilized with a simplified protocol to create amazing anterior and posterior restorations that rival the beauty and strength of porcelain.

Zirconia or lithium disilicate? Retentive prep or short clinical crown? Bond it, or just cement it? With more restorative materials and more cement categories than ever, choosing what goes between the tooth and the restoration has become one of the most confusing decisions in everyday dentistry, and getting it wrong shows up later as debonds, sensitivity, and recurrent decay at the margin. In this CE webinar, Dr. Joshua Austin untangles the conundrum with a practical, evidence-based framework for matching the cement to the case. He will cover how restorative material, preparation design, and isolation drive the choice, along with the surface treatment, cleanup, and curing steps that determine whether a restoration lasts. He will also show how a simplified system built around a universal adhesive, a universal resin cement and a fluoride-releasing resin-modified glass ionomer can cover nearly every indirect case with less inventory and less room for error. Attendees will leave with a repeatable decision tree they can use the next morning.

This CE webinar explores the role of lasers in endodontics, with an emphasis on improving root canal disinfection while preserving tooth structure. Participants will review the biological challenges posed by complex canal anatomy and bacterial biofilms, the principles of photothermal and photoacoustic effects, and the role of laser-assisted irrigation alongside conventional instrumentation and irrigation. Drawing on scientific literature and clinical examples, the webinar will discuss laser technology and considerations for case selection, technique, and safety. Clinical observations will be distinguished from published evidence, helping participants critically evaluate the benefits, limitations, and appropriate use of laser-assisted endodontic approaches.

In the past 5 years digital technologies have advanced our clinical treatments and patient experiences. The digital connection in a private practice setting with the connection of laboratories and implant therapies is growing every year. Understanding the “REAL” connection and how to set up your office for efficiency, growth and predictability will be discussed. The new IOS scanners, Photogrammetry, 3D Facial Scanning and Jaw motion softwares are AI enhanced, and the components will help the clinician and patient achieve amazing results...DIGITALLY! The new digital technologies are here and adapting the latest developments is easy and exciting. In this CE webinar, attendees will gain insights on restoring varying types of cases, like Implants Aesthetics and Occlusion. We will demonstrate more predictable & efficient results with the help of exciting developments in the realm of digital dentistry, improving restorative outcomes and patients lives.

Direct restoratives remain the foundation of general practice, yet material selection has never been more complex. This CE webinar presents a simple, clinically driven decision tree for choosing the right material in the right situation - combining aesthetics, strength, and efficiency.
Provisional restorations are a vital diagnostic and assessment tool. Function, color, shape, contour, occlusion, periodontal response, implant healing, and overall esthetics can be assessed with a well made provisional restoration. Accurate fit and margins are essential. Many clinicians make their provisionals utilizing bisacryl material and a pre-made stent. Lab made provisionals that are re-lined are also used. Printing your provisionals can save both time and money. Producing esthetic, well fitting, functional provisional restorations can be simply and efficiently done with your in-office 3D printer.
Composite resin injectables are highly versatile materials that can be used in numerous scenarios to enhance cosmetic dental practices in a minimally invasive manner, while also facilitating everyday general dentistry. Mastery of composite dentistry, understanding proper adhesive protocols, and establishing effective isolation techniques are crucial steps toward gaining confidence in the functional outcomes of these restorations. In this CE webinar, our goal is to educate participants on how to confidently place predictable composite injectable restorations in both the esthetic zone and posterior teeth. We will cover various case types, including the increasingly popular fiber injectable composites used for build-up procedures. Additionally, we will provide an overview of the cementation protocols for indirect porcelain restorations using injectable materials.

From protective liners and indirect pulp caps that help shield the pulp from further damage, to direct pulp caps aimed at maintaining vitality, to pulpotomies and pulpectomies when deeper intervention is necessary—each approach plays a key role in managing pulpal health. So, how do we determine the best course of action? To tell us all about it is our guest is Dr. Carla Cohn. She is a general dentist, devoted solely to the practice of dentistry for children. She owns and operates Kids Sleep Dentistry Winnipeg, a private practice at Western Surgery Centre in Canada. Dr. Cohn has recently founded Lit Smile Academy, a continuing dental education company.

Dental implants have transformed restorative dentistry, but placing an implant is only the beginning. The real challenge—and the key to long-term success—is proper maintenance. Yet many clinicians are still relying on protocols they learned years ago, despite growing evidence that some traditional techniques, instruments, and even preventive products may do more harm than good. So what should today's implant maintenance protocol actually look like? Joining us is dental hygienist Lynn Pencek, who brings a unique combination of clinical experience and industry expertise. Lynn is passionate about helping hygienists and dentists cut through the confusion surrounding implant maintenance with practical, evidence-based guidance. In this episode, we'll explore why implant maintenance remains such a misunderstood topic, uncover the truth behind metallosis and tribo-corrosion, discuss how instrument and polishing choices can impact implant surfaces, examine the surprising relationship between fluoride and titanium implants, and reveal the modern protocols every practice should be implementing to help ensure long-term implant success.
