Improving dental practice profitability rarely comes down to a single piece of equipment. It depends on how well the systems in a practice work together, from reliable utility equipment to efficient operatories and tools that stay in service. In most practices, profitability is closely tied to four operational factors: equipment uptime, operatory efficiency, maintenance speed, and equipment longevity. Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be better positioned to maintain consistent patient flow and protect their production schedules.

New materials, technology and techniques are developing at such a rapid pace that practitioners can become overwhelmed. Add to this the increased expectations of esthetic patients and the clinical performance of materials and the entire experience can be challenging. This CE webinar will explore the recent trends in composite restorative materials with an emphasis on demystifying the concept of chameleon technology. Dr. Geissberger will describe significant changes that have occurred over the last few years enabling clinicians to place few layers, limit inventory, and establish life-like restorations.

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.







Smiles in Sickle Cell Care: Preventive Dental Hygiene Strategies for Enhanced Health

Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) or the Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) face unique challenges when they need dental treatment. Unfortunately, many dental professionals know very little about sickle cell disease and are not aware of the clinical manifestations and precautions that should be taken when treating these patients. Sickle cell disease severely affects oral health including increased risk of infections, severe dental decay caused by vaso-occlusal neglect, delayed healing and bone density issues. Sickle cell disease is the most prevalent genetic disease affecting approximately 7.7 million people worldwide of all nationalities. Participants of this webinar will gain insights into the unique oral health challenges faced by individuals with SCD and the importance of preventive care in mitigating these risks. The CE webinar will cover essential preventive dental hygiene practices, tailored treatment planning, and communication strategies to effectively support this patient population. By focusing on initiative-taking oral health care, the webinar aims to enhance the quality of life and overall health outcomes for individuals with Sickle Cell Disease, addressing both their physical and emotional well-being.







3D Print Your Provisionals for Better Fit, Better Esthetics, and Convenience
Presenter: Dr. Susan McMahon
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Provisional restorations are a vital diagnostic and assessment tool. Function, color, shape, contour, occlusion, periodontal response, implant healing, and overall esthetics can be assessed with a well made provisional restoration. Accurate fit and margins are essential. Many clinicians make their provisionals utilizing bisacryl material and a pre-made stent. Lab made provisionals that are re-lined are also used. Printing your provisionals can save both time and money. Producing esthetic, well fitting, functional provisional restorations can be simply and efficiently done with your in-office 3D printer.
