Musculoskeletal pain is nearly universal in dentistry but it doesn’t have to be. In this CE webinar, we’ll break down the top ergonomic mistakes dental clinicians make every day, including forward head posture, shoulder strain, twisting, reaching, and poor patient positioning. During this CE webinar, you’ll learn how operatory layout and equipment design can either contribute to these patterns or dramatically reduce them. Through real clinical examples, we’ll explore how proper chair positioning, delivery setup, lighting alignment, and movement strategies can support neutral posture and long-term career longevity.

Enhancing or restoring a smile with direct composite resins can be challenging. This CE webinar has been specially designed to present the most up-to-date protocols for direct anterior composite restorations employing simplified techniques to ensure consistent and predictable outcomes. You will gain insight into injectable composite, layered composite techniques for composite veneers and Class IV, the use of diagnostic mock-ups, and effective finishing and polishing techniques. You will understand how to incorporate long-lasting and tooth-like direct composite to your daily practice as a reliable alternative to ceramic while practicing minimally invasive dentistry.


Caries and Hypersensitivity Solutions: Navigating CDT Codes with Confidence

Dental hygienists play a vital role in delivering preventive oral health care. In recent years, the number of CDT procedure codes related to preventive procedures and products has expanded significantly. Many hygienists may not be fully aware of ADA’s Current Dental Terminology (CDT) descriptors, which outline the rationale and mechanisms of action for these products. As more patients express concerns about fluoride use in caries management, they are turning to hygienists for alternative recommendations to protect against decay. Which products should you choose, and which CDT procedure codes apply? Similarly, hypersensitivity complaints are on the rise. Patients often report, “My teeth are sensitive when you touch them.” What products can you recommend chairside? Which can be sent home? And how do you document the appropriate CDT procedure code? This CE webinar also introduces ICD-10-CM diagnostic codes that will support the medical necessity of preventive and therapeutic procedures. With insurance carriers starting to require these diagnostic codes on the updated 2024 Dental Claim form (Box 34a), understanding how to integrate them into documentation is essential for accurate claim submission and compliance.


Universal Composites: Predictable, Profitable, and Practice-Ready Restorations

Composite dentistry has evolved and yet many clinicians still struggle with consistency, efficiency, and long-term outcomes. This CE webinar breaks down a universal composite workflow that simplifies material selection, maintains esthetics, and increases predictability across everyday restorative cases. Designed for real-world dentistry, this course focuses on practical techniques for posterior and anterior restorations, shade simplification, handling characteristics, layering strategies, and polishing protocols that elevate results without adding complexity or chair time. Attendees will leave with immediately applicable techniques to improve restoration longevity, patient satisfaction, and clinical confidence.

Bonding to Primary Teeth: Why It’s Harder and How to Make It Work
Presenter: Dr. Ryan Cormack
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
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.







Alternative DME Materials Such as a Dual Cured Material to Help Raise the Box
Presenter: Dr. Patrick Calalang
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Deep Marginal Elevations (DME) can be very technique sensitive. Often times if the curing light cannot reach the restorative material due to sheer depth, we must come up with an alternative solution. Dual cured restorative materials have answered that puzzle. Dual cured materials are often misunderstood in the daily routine of a restorative dentist. This is mainly due to the clinician’s high comfort level with traditional light cured composite resins as their “go-to” material. During this CE webinar, I will explain the different mechanics between light cured versus dual cured materials and the role each has on stresses created and the impact on bonding. Then I will give a step by step systematic approach in using a dual cured material to obtain predictable and repeatable results when performing DME procedures. Finally, I will show clinical examples of Deep Marginal Elevations with dual cured materials and tips and tricks help obtain the desired result.
