Good oral health plays an important role in a student’s performance at school. Dental disease can distract from learning, cause students to miss school, or even lower their self-esteem. With caries being the most common chronic childhood disease in the U.S., it is crucial for us as clinicians to have strong prevention protocols in place. Fluoride varnish is an essential tool in preventive care. But what about patients who present with active caries? This CE webinar will address silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and how it stops further progression of caries lesions thus controlling the disease even if we can’t restore the tooth with drilling and filling right away.

All too often, clinicians are stuck in the same sound loop when trying to help our patients take ownership of their disease. And yet, they come back with the same issues appointment after appointment. However, by empowering patients to take control, we can see a significant positive shift in their health management. In this CE webinar, attendees will delve into the common barriers that hinder patient collaboration and discover practical strategies to overcome these challenges. They will also learn how to implement co-diagnosis, enabling patients to actively participate in their own assessment and treatment planning. By integrating these approaches, healthcare providers can enhance patient compliance and outcomes. Understanding the patient's perspective and motivations will lead to more effective communication, greater patient satisfaction, and a more personalized approach to care.

Dentistry is a constantly evolving profession and some of the greatest changes in the past decade have come from evolutions in 3D technology. We live in a 3D world and being able to have valuable clinical data in 3D can allow us to do incredible things. We now have the clinical ability to scan, design, and 3D print in ways to allow, for the first time, truly digital workflows from start to delivery. There are many benefits to implementing 3D workflows and printing into your practice. Efficiency, accuracy, cost savings, and outcomes all improve when a practice moves from analog to digital. In this CE webinar, learn how implementing 3D printing technologies and digital workflows into your practice can decrease stress and allow you to provide incredible clinical outcomes to your patients while spending less time and less money.

Glass ionomer materials are the only materials in wide use that bond chemically to tooth structure, release fluoride and have similar coefficient of thermal expansion as enamel and dentin. This CE webinar will focus on the expanded use of glass ionomer materials that are now available and have the potential to change the way direct restorative dentistry is practiced. Glass ionomers have long been considered materials suitable for use as liners, bases, restorative materials for pediatric and geriatric use, root caries and interim restorative materials for permanent adult teeth. Evidence on long-term success rate of glass ionomer materials as direct restorative materials on adult permanent teeth will be presented and discussed. Clinical cases demonstrating use of these materials will be presented as well.
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.

Guest: Dr. Sarah Winter

Until recently, Dr. Sarah Winter, who runs a cosmetic focused practice in La Jolla CA, used two different composite systems for her direct restorative cases. She used a micro-filled composite for her anterior cases for high polishability and a bulk fill for her posterior cases which provided lots of strength. But recently, she found one material that actually does both, offering strength and esthetics. According to Dr. Winter, this newer material has made her life and her staff's a whole lot easier. Today we'll talk about her transition to this new restorative composite.
