Traditional vs. Custom Attachments: Improving Predictability in Clear Aligner Therapy
Presenter: Dr. Clayton Myers
Sponsor: Solventum (formerly 3M Health Care)
Thu  4/9/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
Attachments play a critical role in aligner biomechanics, yet the method used to create and deliver attachments can significantly influence clinical efficiency, predictability, and esthetic outcomes. This CE webinar explores the differences between traditional attachment creation methods and custom attachment systems delivered via pre-fabricated trays. Participants will examine common challenges associated with conventional attachment workflows—such as technique sensitivity, variability in attachment shape, excess composite cleanup, and inconsistent engagement—and compare them with newer custom approaches designed to improve consistency and streamline clinical procedures. Practical considerations related to treatment planning, attachment placement, and bonding best practices will be discussed to help clinicians make informed decisions when selecting an attachment strategy for aligner therapy.

Oral health for older adults is an increasingly significant challenge in dentistry today. As people age, their risk of developing caries, periodontal disease, and other oral health complications rises. This heightened risk is often exacerbated by systemic health conditions, polypharmacy, and decreased dexterity, which can impact daily hygiene practices. Unlike younger populations, older adults face unique barriers, including complex medical histories, cognitive decline, and notable changes in insurance coverage after retirement. These factors not only affect their access to dental care but also influence how treatments must be planned and delivered. This evidence-based CE webinar equips dental professionals with practical strategies to enhance the quality of care for older adults in dental office settings. Participants will learn to identify the specific caries risk factors associated with aging patients, apply preventive and minimally invasive management strategies, and adjust treatment protocols for medically fragile individuals. The webinar will also address the impact of changing insurance structures after retirement on access to care, as well as how dental teams can navigate these challenges to provide effective and patient-centered outcomes.


Burnout to Balance: A Practical Guide for Dental Professionals

Burnout is more than just feeling tired — it’s a serious occupational phenomenon affecting dental professionals at every level. From packed schedules and patient anxiety to perfectionism and lack of autonomy, dentistry is especially vulnerable to chronic stress. This CE webinar helps participants recognize the early signs of burnout, understand the factors that contribute to it, and learn practical, sustainable tools to prevent or recover from burnout — individually and as a team.


The Screening That Saves Lives: Oral Cancer and the Dental Team
Presenter: Dr. Ashley Clark

This CE webinar will provide oral health care providers with information regarding oral cancer. Potentially malignant conditions, particularly leukoplakia, will be discussed. Prevention of the disease is primarily the job of oral health care professionals; therefore, a focus will be made on preventing oral squamous cell carcinoma.


Bonding to Primary Teeth: Why It’s Harder and How to Make It Work
Presenter: Dr. Ryan Cormack

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.

A Mock-Up–Driven Approach to Veneer Preparation and Bonding
Presenter: Dr. Todd Snyder
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Veneer longevity is determined by what we bond to and how teeth are prepared - long before cementation begins. This focused CE webinar presents a mock-up–driven veneer workflow, demonstrating how diagnostic planning and preparation design create optimal bonding conditions for predictable esthetics and long-term success. Attendees will gain a clinically practical framework for making bonding and preparation decisions that directly influence veneer performance and durability.







Smiles in Sickle Cell Care: Preventive Dental Hygiene Strategies for Enhanced Health
Presenter: Linda Chandler-Jacobs, BS, RDH
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) or the Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) face unique challenges when they need dental treatment. Unfortunately, many dental professionals know very little about sickle cell disease and are not aware of the clinical manifestations and precautions that should be taken when treating these patients. Sickle cell disease severely affects oral health including increased risk of infections, severe dental decay caused by vaso-occlusal neglect, delayed healing and bone density issues. Sickle cell disease is the most prevalent genetic disease affecting approximately 7.7 million people worldwide of all nationalities. Participants of this webinar will gain insights into the unique oral health challenges faced by individuals with SCD and the importance of preventive care in mitigating these risks. The CE webinar will cover essential preventive dental hygiene practices, tailored treatment planning, and communication strategies to effectively support this patient population. By focusing on initiative-taking oral health care, the webinar aims to enhance the quality of life and overall health outcomes for individuals with Sickle Cell Disease, addressing both their physical and emotional well-being.

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.

Guest: Tiffany Wuebben, RDH
Hygiene has always been viewed as important in dentistry—but what if it’s actually the most underutilized growth engine in the entire practice and the key to elevating the overall patient experience? On today’s episode, we’re unpacking what it really means to optimize the hygiene department and how that shows up in a dentist’s day-to-day life when it’s done right. Because when hygiene is empowered to do more, patients don’t just feel “cleaned”—they feel educated, cared for, and connected to the practice. Our guest is Tiffany Wuebben, RDH and Founder and CEO of The Hygienepreneur.
