Stop Being Degenerative: How to Protect Dental Crowns from Microleakage and Secondary Decay Presenter: Dr. John Comisi Sponsor: Pulpdent Mon  4/29/24    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Mon  4/29/24    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

We know that when we perform direct bonding procedures, our adhesives and restorative materials can cause proteolytic responses in the dentin structure, which may ultimately lead to failure at the interface. However, we tend to overlook the possibility of similar outcomes with our resin cements. As we create the same hybridization of the dentin, there is a potential for failure due to bacterial contamination, insufficient infiltration, and the acidity of our resin cement. This CE webinar aims to explore a cementation process that can significantly improve the success of this critical restorative procedure.

Dominate Posterior Composites by Leveraging Material Advancements Presenter: Dr. Foroud Hakim Sponsor: VOCO America Wed  5/8/24    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  5/8/24    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Delivering optimal posterior composites often pose pain points for even the most technically skilled practitioner. Challenges with isolation, placement and layering, predictable curing, contour and contacts, and final finish/polish and esthetics, sometimes lead to underwhelming outcomes. This CE webinar is designed to provide updates on materials and techniques, which when integrated, can resolve many of the pain points facing doctors, and lead to better outcomes, happier patients, and greater satisfaction in practice.

Chairside Esthetic Zirconia Restorations: Delivering Strength Without Compromise Presenter: Dr. Karyn Halpern Sponsor: Kuraray Noritake Thu  5/9/24    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  5/9/24    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

One of the most popular restorative options available today for patients is the use of full-contoured milled zirconia. Advances in new multilayered zirconia blocks and sintering technology, combined with the ability to super-fast mill zirconia restorations, affords the opportunity to provide single-visit zirconia restorations for our patients in a fast and efficient manner. Zirconia restorations can be predictably and efficiently milled, sintered, polished, and delivered in as little as an hour. In this CE webinar, Karyn M. Halpern DMD, MS will discuss the chairside workflow using Zirconia. The properties and clinical applications of the latest zirconia blocks will be reviewed. Techniques on how to pre-polish, polish after sintering, and stain and glaze will be presented.

The Biologic Basis of Dentistry - Biologic Concepts and Materials (BASES) in Clinical Practice Presenter: Dr. Mark Cannon Sponsor: Bisco CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Over the last few years much has changed in healthcare. Because we have been naturally overwhelmed by pandemic news, newly published research on the importance of the oral gateway microbiome in systemic health was scarcely noticed. In addition, oral health professionals found that our preventive care protocols needed substantial updating. Many patients had significant dental issues during the “lock-down” and our practices are still catching up on delayed dental treatment. Fortunately, improved dental biological materials that are kind to the pulp, with the potential to stimulate reparative dentin by providing calcium ions and an alkaline environment, are commercially available. In addition, bulk fill resin based composite restorative increase dentists’ efficiency and improve clinical outcomes. Universal adhesives provide for consistent and reliable bond strengths. Hence, the future for oral healthcare professionals appears optimistically bright.

2024 is the Year for 3D Printing: Convenience for your Patients, Profitability for Your Practice Presenter: Dr. Susan McMahon Sponsor: VOCO America CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Convenience is the commodity that matters the most to patients. When considering to proceed with treatment, patients often cite having fewer appointments and not having to go see other specialists as an important motivator. It is possible to 3D print occlusal guards, surgical guides, models, retainers, prototypes, provisionals, clear aligners, dentures and permanent restorations very quickly. Move treatment forward faster, get more diagnosis and production from your hygiene chairs, lower your lab bills, and offer your patients the convenience they desire. Adding 3D printing to your work flow is easy for you and your team.
