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.

This CE webinar explores how shifting from passive monitoring to non-invasive early intervention can transform both patient outcomes and practice performance. As clinicians gain access to advanced diagnostic technologies, the opportunity to identify and treat early enamel lesions—before cavitation—has never been greater. Yet many practices struggle with team alignment, case acceptance, and integrating these protocols into everyday workflows.
This webinar outlines a practical, team-centered approach to implementing early intervention strategies that preserve tooth structure through guided hydroxyapatite generation while simultaneously driving measurable production growth. Attendees will learn how to leverage modern detection tools, standardize clinical protocols, and empower the entire dental team—from hygienists to front office—to communicate value effectively and confidently.
By connecting clinical excellence with business impact, this course demonstrates how early intervention is not just a treatment philosophy, but a scalable growth strategy. Participants will leave with actionable steps to improve patient trust, increase case acceptance, and create a more proactive, productive practice culture.

Early intervention for tethered oral tissues (TOTs) can play a significant role in improving a child’s overall health and development. In this CE webinar, Dr. Jared Poplin will examine common conditions associated with tongue-ties and lip-ties, including challenges with breastfeeding, speech development, and oral health. The webinar will also highlight how the 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser supports precise, efficient frenectomy procedures with minimal bleeding, reduced post-operative discomfort, and remarkably rapid healing.

This CE webinar explores the diagnosis and minimally invasive management of smooth surface enamel defects, integrating both contemporary diagnostic tools and conservative therapeutic strategies. It addresses the different types of enamel lesions based on their topography and etiology—ranging from initial carious demineralizations to developmental defects such as hypoplasia, fluorosis, and hypomineralization—highlighting how these variations influence clinical decision-making. A key concept discussed is the optical nature of white spot lesions. Early enamel demineralization creates subsurface porosities without surface cavitation, leading to light scattering and the characteristic opaque appearance. These lesions are not due to pigmentation but rather to changes in light diffraction within the enamel structure. The webinar also covers advanced diagnostic approaches, including the benefits of transillumination to better assess lesion depth and extension, improving accuracy in treatment indication. Pre-treatment considerations such as bleaching are presented as a way to harmonize the overall tooth shade and enhance the final esthetic outcome. Central to the discussion is the principle of erosion-infiltration, initially developed for early proximal carious lesions but now widely extended to smooth surface defects. The technique relies on modifying the enamel’s optical properties by infiltrating its porosities with a low-viscosity resin whose refractive index closely matches that of healthy enamel, allowing light to pass through more uniformly and restoring translucency.

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.
This CE webinar intends to provide clear information and guidance for clinicians, as they navigate the unique ethical decision-making challenges of selecting products for the removal of biofilm. This webinar also relates the Standards of Clinical Dental Hygiene Practice to ethical decision-making in dental hygiene, focusing on the importance of assessment for gathering necessary data for optimal product choice.
This CE webinar is designed to empower dental professionals to raise their standards of care by emphasizing preventative dentistry. Discover effective patient and inter-office communication and a mindset shift from traditional to modern models. Explore innovative strategies, evidence-based practices, and advanced techniques to provide a higher level of patient-centered care through an understanding of the 5 Pillars of Prevention. Gain comprehensive knowledge to elevate their role in promoting lasting oral health and enhance the patient experience.

Our guest, Dr. Chris Pescatore, is using nothing more than his iPad and an off-the-shelf app to perform digital diagnostic wax-ups—right in front of his patients—in only a matter of minutes. This isn’t just a tool for planning aesthetics, prep design and occlusal adjustments—it’s also a powerful way to wow patients. In fact, Dr. Pescatore’s case acceptance rate has been hovering close to 100%. Stay tuned to learn how Dr. Pescatore has integrated this simple, inexpensive piece of technology into his daily practice—and why it’s become a true game-changer for both him and his patients. You can learn more about Dr. Pescatore's course on this topic by visiting The Center at Dental Ceramics https://www.thecenteratdentalceramics.com/upcoming-courses.

Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.

Today, we’re tackling a question every restorative dentist has asked at some point: can one composite really do it all? For decades, we’ve accepted tradeoffs—great polish but limited strength, strong posterior composites with compromised esthetics. But composite technology has come a long way. According to our guest, Dr Susan McMahon, we’ve reached a point where a single universal composite can handle virtually every direct restorative case—and on top of that deliver stellar results. So if you’re looking to simplify your restorative workflow without compromising outcomes, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
