Cementation Confidence: STICKing to Systems So Your Ceramic Sticks!
Presenter: Dr. Jennifer Derse
Sponsor: Bisco
Tue  8/25/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

Cementation is the final, decisive step that determines whether an otherwise excellent indirect restoration succeeds or fails, yet it's often where protocols become inconsistent, rushed, or based on habit rather than the specific material in hand. With the range of restorative materials in use today (zirconia, lithium disilicate and other glass-ceramics), no single cement or surface-treatment protocol applies to every case. This CE webinar takes a substrate-driven approach: matching the cement category and preparation steps to the restorative material, the clinical situation, and the amount of retention available. Through a step-by-step walkthrough of the cementation workflow, this CE webinar covers cement selection, intaglio surface treatment, the role of primers and silane coupling agents, isolation and contamination control, try-in and cleaning, seating, and finishing. The goal is to give clinicians a clear decision framework they can apply chairside to improve predictability, reduce post-operative sensitivity and debonding, and streamline what is often an unnecessarily complicated part of restorative dentistry.


Everyday Sensitivity Management for the Clinical Team
Presenter: Ms. Shannon Pace Brinker, CDA
Sponsor: Ivoclar
Thu  8/27/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

This CE webinar simplifies sensitivity management through a practical, real-world approach designed for the entire clinical team. Participants will learn how to identify different types of sensitivity using a simplified clinical decision tree and understand how to match the right products and protocols to specific patient needs. The webinar will also review proper application techniques for commonly used desensitizing materials, evidence-based in-office therapies, and at-home recommendations that improve patient comfort and long-term outcomes. Attendees will leave with practical strategies they can immediately implement to improve patient education, reduce post-operative discomfort, and create more predictable sensitivity management protocols within their practice.

Join us for Full SPEED Ahead: From STML to SPEED - Lessons Learned from 8 Years of Digital Dentistry, a webinar exploring the evolution of multilayer zirconia and its impact on modern digital restorative workflows. This CE webinar will review how optimized milling and sintering protocols can help reduce turnaround times while maintaining esthetic and functional outcomes. Participants will gain practical strategies for implementing high-speed zirconia workflows that improve efficiency, profitability, and the patient experience. The discussion will also highlight how expanded shade options can simplify treatment planning and inventory management in a digital practice.


Beyond Bonding: The Next Evolution of Restorative Dentistry
Presenter: Dr. Todd Snyder

Discover how preparation design, adhesive protocols, and bioactive restorative materials work together to create stronger, longer-lasting, more predictable restorations. Adhesive dentistry has transformed the way we restore teeth, but successful restorative treatment requires more than simply creating a strong bond. Material selection, preparation design, isolation, and an understanding of how restorative materials interact with the oral environment all play a critical role in long-term clinical success. This CE webinar explores the evolution of restorative dentistry beyond traditional adhesive concepts and examines how bioactive restorative materials can contribute to durable, predictable outcomes. Through evidence-based principles, clinical techniques, and real-world case presentations, participants will gain practical strategies for improving efficiency, reducing failures, and selecting restorative materials that support both the restoration and the surrounding tooth structure.


Elevating Soft-Tissue Dentistry with the 9.3-Micron CO2 Laser
Presenter: Dr. Yooson Kim
Sponsor: Convergent Dental
Thu  9/3/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

Why send procedures out when you can treat them confidently in your own practice? With the 9.3-Micron CO2 laser, clinicians can perform a wide range of soft and osseous tissue procedures in a way that is efficient, minimally invasive, and patient-friendly. In this CE webinar, Dr. Yooson Kim will explore how this technology supports clean, precise procedures with reduced bleeding and minimal need for sutures, while elevating the overall patient experience. Discover how incorporating these techniques can expand your scope of care with procedures like gingivectomies, frenectomies, crown lengthening, and more.

Vital Pulp Therapy Today: Advancing Care in Primary and Young Permanent Dentition
Presenter: Dr. Carla Cohn
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Modern vital pulp therapy doesn’t need to be complicated. This clinically focused CE webinar highlights today’s most reliable pulp therapy materials and practical approaches for managing the pulp in primary teeth and young permanent dentition. Dr. Carla Cohn guides the dental team through predictable, evidence-based pulpotomy techniques to improve outcomes, reduce stress chairside, and enhance confidence in everyday pediatric care.







Evolving Composites: Redefining Versatility, Strength, and Simplicity
Presenter: Dr. Luis Abrahante
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Composite dentistry has come a long way - from macrofills to nanofills to today’s nanohybrids and universal systems that aim to combine strength, esthetics, and efficiency. In this CE webinar, Dr. Luis Abrahante, DMD, shares his clinical perspective on the evolution of restorative materials and how they’ve shaped the modern restorative workflow. Attendees will explore foundational concepts such as C-Factor, shrinkage stress, and how advancements in filler technology and resin matrix design are influencing both technique and long-term outcomes. This webinar will provide a practical, high-yield breakdown of what clinicians should consider when selecting a universal composite - from handling to polish retention to marginal integrity - and how newer materials are helping streamline procedures while elevating results. Whether layering an anterior case or restoring a posterior load-bearing tooth, you'll gain strategies that are grounded in everyday dentistry and adaptable across different case types.







Fundamentals of Clean Water and Air Delivery in Clinical Dental Settings
Presenter: Dr. Marie Fluent
Sponsor: Air Techniques
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Dental utility rooms play a vital role in maintaining infection control standards. The air compressor generates air for handpieces in dental procedures, while the dental unit provides water for general dental procedures. Meanwhile, the high-volume evacuation and central vacuum removes water, aerosols, airborne pathogens and particulates from the operatory field, and aerosols from the operatory. This CE webinar will address the “heart and lungs” of the dental clinic (compressor and vacuum) and how to best ensure that clean hygienic air and clean water is delivered and effectively removed during dental care.

In today’s episode, we’re focusing on one of the most critical — and often overlooked — elements of clear aligner therapy: clear aligner attachments. If you’ve ever dealt with aligners that don’t seat, patients who fall behind in treatment, or cases that just aren’t progressing as planned, we’ve got some troubleshooting tips you won’t want to miss. Our guest is Dr. Foroud Hakim. He has maintained a private dental practice for over 30 years, is a sought after key opinion leader and speaker and is a highly respected consultant for new product evaluation and development.

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.
