What if hygiene wasn't simply a cleaning and wasn't dictated by an insurance company's definition of what should happen every six months?This CE webinar explores how Guided Biofilm Therapy can be integrated into a completely different approach to hygiene and preventive care - redesigning the entire experience around patient communication, diagnostics, frequency of care, perceived value, and the business model itself. Discover how GBT can become part of a modern, differentiated patient experience while moving beyond commoditized, insurance-driven hygiene. See how technology, positioning, and a new approach to care can deliver a better patient experience while building a more valuable and sustainable dental business.

Porcelain veneer cementation is one of the most technique-sensitive stages of aesthetic treatment. In this one-hour CE webinar, Dr. Jason Olitsky presents a practical, step-by-step approach to delivering veneer cases with greater confidence and predictability. The webinar will review the critical stages of veneer try-in and cementation, including provisional removal, bleeding control, isolation, color evaluation, porcelain preparation, seating, cement cleanup, finishing, and occlusal adjustment. Real-world challenges such as show-through, tight contacts, incomplete seating, poor fit, exposed margins, and open gingival embrasures will also be discussed. Participants will leave with practical strategies they can immediately apply to simplify veneer delivery and improve aesthetic outcomes.

What makes some composite veneers maintain their brilliance for years while others discolor prematurely? In this CE webinar, join Dr. Andrew Ballard for a science-driven exploration of the factors influencing long-term color stability in direct resin veneers. This webinar examines the relationship between polymer chemistry, degree of conversion, curing light performance, oxygen-inhibited layers, and composite filler particle size. Special attention will be given to finishing and polishing protocols and how surface texture and material selection influence staining, gloss retention, and restoration longevity. Discover practical, evidence-based strategies to minimize discoloration and create beautiful, durable composite veneers that stand the test of time.

Successful direct restorations require more than selecting a composite and placing it into a preparation. Long-term clinical success is dependent upon understanding the complex relationship between adhesive systems, restorative materials, and light-curing technology. Advances in universal adhesives, bulk-fill and nanohybrid composites, antimicrobial restorative materials, and high-output LED curing lights have provided clinicians with powerful tools to improve efficiency and predictability. However, improper material selection or curing protocols can compromise polymerization, bond durability, marginal integrity, esthetics, and restoration longevity.
This evidence-based CE webinar reviews the science behind contemporary adhesive dentistry and composite placement while providing practical clinical protocols that can be immediately implemented in everyday practice. Through clinical cases, current research, and real-world restorative workflows, participants will learn how to maximize restorative performance by optimizing the interaction between adhesives, composites, and curing lights.

Fibre-reinforced direct bridges (FRDB’s) have shown good performance in clinical applications, capable of overcoming functional masticatory loading with a more biomimetic behavior than rigid metallic or full ceramic prostheses. Its retention relies on adhesive capacity which allows a lower tooth structure removal than conventional alternatives, as minimal or no sound tooth structure preparation is needed on the abutment.
Staying Alive: Bioactive Advances in Pulp Therapy highlights modern, evidence-based strategies for preserving pulp vitality. This CE webinar explores how bioactive materials support healing and regeneration of the dentin–pulp complex, with practical insight into indications, techniques, and material selection for vital pulp therapy. Designed for all clinicians, it connects science to everyday clinical decision-making.
Indirect restorative dentistry involves many details that can significantly affect the final outcome, with preparation and temporization often being overlooked. In this CE webinar, we will cover how to properly fabricate ideal crowns, bridges, and veneers using advanced provisional materials, while also addressing the critical role of temporary cements. We’ll discuss how cement selection impacts retention, sensitivity, marginal seal, and esthetics, and provide guidance on choosing the right cement for different clinical situations to ensure predictable, successful results.

According to our guest, Dr. Mauricio Watanabe, a world-respected speaker and clinician, by using a highly filled nano-composite to fabricate the crown, the same material we use for our deep margin elevation and filling in our undercuts, a semi-direct full coverage restoration will provide long-term predictable success. And Dr. Watanabe has years of cases and research to support his opinion. The whole procedure can be done in 30 minutes when pouring your impression with a fast setting silicone material. So if you're looking to practice conservative dentistry and preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible and still deliver a full coverage crown, you might find the semi-direct restoration an excellent option for many of your large caries cases. Dr. Lauren Rainey, a well-respected clinician and KOL will also be joining us.

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.
