Adult patients are the largest growing population seeking orthodontic treatment. Many adult patients seek clear aligners as an esthetic alternative to traditional bracket and wire treatment. Yet many adult patients present with complex restorative treatment needs that can be complimented by orthodontic treatment for improved clinical outcomes with interdisciplinary treatment plans. Adult patients require a different patient experience and seek convenient and efficient treatment. The course will cover the basics of aligner design, materials, and mechanical advantages to understand the importance of product selection in complex adult treatment plans. The CE webinar will also explore the digital workflow and digital ecosystem for office efficiency and optimal patient experience. After the webinar, the attendee should be able to evaluate and select an aligner system for complex interdisciplinary cases, and evaluate how to implement a digital workflow for enhanced treatment planning and patient experience.


Smarter Smile Design: Align, Whiten, and Restore
Presenter: Dr. Nicholas Garcia
Sponsor: uLab Systems
Mon  11/2/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Tue  11/3/26    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
In this CE webinar, join Dr. Nicholas Garcia for a practical discussion on integrating clear aligners into everyday esthetic dentistry - particularly for patients considering whitening, veneers, or other cosmetic improvements. Using a scan-first approach, Dr. Garcia will demonstrate how he evaluates tooth position, spacing, and occlusion before developing a treatment plan. Attendees will learn how to determine when to align, when to restore, and when combining treatments may create a more conservative and predictable path to the desired esthetic outcome. The webinar will provide a straightforward framework for recognizing anterior esthetic aligner opportunities, sequencing complementary services, and confidently presenting comprehensive treatment options to patients.

Radiation Safety in Pediatric Dentistry: Where We Stand in 2025
Presenter: Dr. Juan Yepes
Sponsor: Air Techniques
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
In the ever-evolving landscape of dental imaging, ensuring radiation safety remains a cornerstone of ethical and effective practice. This CE webinar explores current best practices, regulatory updates, and emerging technologies that impact radiation use in the dental field. Dental professionals will also be provided with a comprehensive review of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles, digital radiography advancements, and safety protocols tailored to modern clinical environments. A key focus will be on digital radiology, including the differences between direct and indirect digital imaging systems. Participants will examine the benefits and limitations of each approach—direct systems (such as CMOS and CCD sensors) that provide immediate image capture, and indirect systems (like PSP plates) that require scanning but offer greater flexibility in certain clinical scenarios.







Mind and Mouth: Bridging the Gap Between Mental Health and Oral Care
Presenter: Sonya Dunbar, RDH
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
This CE webinar explores the importance of integrating mental health considerations into dental care strategies, focusing on patient-centered approaches to improve outcomes. Key aspects covered include understanding the oral health implications of psychiatric medications, the role of oral health professionals in recognizing signs of mental illness, and the need for tailored dental care plans to accommodate the specific needs of this population. Additionally, preventive strategies, such as establishing oral health routines, regular dental visits, and collaboration between mental health providers and dental professionals, are discussed to enhance care and reduce the long-term risks of dental diseases for those living with mental illness. By fostering a holistic approach to care that addresses both mental and oral health, dental professionals can play a pivotal role in improving the overall well-being of individuals suffering from mental illness. The webinar concludes with recommendations for further research and education to bridge gaps in dental care for this vulnerable population.







Connecting Oral and Systemic Health: Prevention as the New Power Move in Dentistry

Series: Bisco CE Credits: 0.5
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.

Dentists face significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, and burnout than the general population—and it’s something we don’t talk about enough. Our guest today is Dr. Joshua Austin, a full-time restorative dentist. He lectures nationally and internationally on clinical dentistry and mental health. Dr. Austin understands the pressures of operating a dental practice firsthand. After going through a period of intense stress, he realized something had to change. He made the decision to rebuild—not just his practice, but his life. Today, we’re going to hear that story—the struggles, the wake-up call, and the intentional steps he took to find joy in dentistry again.
