Smarter Smile Design: Align, Whiten, and Restore
Presenter: Dr. Nicholas Garcia
Sponsor: uLab Systems
Mon  11/2/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Tue  11/3/26    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
In this CE webinar, join Dr. Nicholas Garcia for a practical discussion on integrating clear aligners into everyday esthetic dentistry - particularly for patients considering whitening, veneers, or other cosmetic improvements. Using a scan-first approach, Dr. Garcia will demonstrate how he evaluates tooth position, spacing, and occlusion before developing a treatment plan. Attendees will learn how to determine when to align, when to restore, and when combining treatments may create a more conservative and predictable path to the desired esthetic outcome. The webinar will provide a straightforward framework for recognizing anterior esthetic aligner opportunities, sequencing complementary services, and confidently presenting comprehensive treatment options to patients.


Oral Cancer Screening: It’s More Than Grasping the Tongue
Presenter: Susan Cotten, BSDH, RDH, OMT
Sponsor: VOCO America
Tue  11/3/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

Both dental hygienists and dentists play an important role in the early detection of oral cancer, yet there is a critical gap in screening protocols. After performing an oral cancer screening, patients often say, "No one has ever done that before." This CE webinar breaks down the components of a comprehensive visual and tactile, extraoral, and intraoral evaluation, and the signs and symptoms associated with oral and oropharyngeal cancer as an important component in screening. Using Susan’s instructional screening videos and case presentations, attendees will learn proper extraoral palpation, the importance of identifying lymphadenopathy, evaluation of the thyroid gland, and the oropharynx. ADA and ADHA oral cancer policies and coding will be reviewed. A comprehensive oral cancer screening isn’t optional. Let’s close the gap together, elevate the standard of care in screening, calibrate dental professionals nationwide, and increase early detection. Attendees will leave inspired and with a renewed commitment to performing this life-saving evaluation – every patient, every visit.


Composite Secrets They Never Taught You In Dental School (and Still Don’t)
Presenter: Dr. Michael Morgan
Sponsor: Bisco

Direct resin has become one of the restorative materials of choice in both general and high-end esthetic practices. The explosion of demand by patients for esthetic dental services has led to an array of new dental products and treatments for practitioners to choose from. A new generation of composite resins can be utilized with a simplified protocol to create amazing anterior and posterior restorations that rival the beauty and strength of porcelain.


Cementation Conundrums: What to Use When for Strength and Reliability
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Austin
Sponsor: Solventum (formerly 3M Health Care)
Mon  11/9/26    7:30 PM ET    4:30 PM PT

Zirconia or lithium disilicate? Retentive prep or short clinical crown? Bond it, or just cement it? With more restorative materials and more cement categories than ever, choosing what goes between the tooth and the restoration has become one of the most confusing decisions in everyday dentistry, and getting it wrong shows up later as debonds, sensitivity, and recurrent decay at the margin. In this CE webinar, Dr. Joshua Austin untangles the conundrum with a practical, evidence-based framework for matching the cement to the case. He will cover how restorative material, preparation design, and isolation drive the choice, along with the surface treatment, cleanup, and curing steps that determine whether a restoration lasts. He will also show how a simplified system built around a universal adhesive, a universal resin cement and a fluoride-releasing resin-modified glass ionomer can cover nearly every indirect case with less inventory and less room for error. Attendees will leave with a repeatable decision tree they can use the next morning.


Laser Assisted Endodontics
Presenter: Dr. Tariq Alsmadi
Sponsor: J. MORITA USA
Tue  11/10/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Wed  11/11/26    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
This CE webinar explores the role of lasers in endodontics, with an emphasis on improving root canal disinfection while preserving tooth structure. Participants will review the biological challenges posed by complex canal anatomy and bacterial biofilms, the principles of photothermal and photoacoustic effects, and the role of laser-assisted irrigation alongside conventional instrumentation and irrigation. Drawing on scientific literature and clinical examples, the webinar will discuss laser technology and considerations for case selection, technique, and safety. Clinical observations will be distinguished from published evidence, helping participants critically evaluate the benefits, limitations, and appropriate use of laser-assisted endodontic approaches.

Chairside Challenges, Lifelong Smiles: Dental Care for the Aging Adult
Presenter: Sonya Dunbar, RDH
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Oral health for older adults is an increasingly significant challenge in dentistry today. As people age, their risk of developing caries, periodontal disease, and other oral health complications rises. This heightened risk is often exacerbated by systemic health conditions, polypharmacy, and decreased dexterity, which can impact daily hygiene practices. Unlike younger populations, older adults face unique barriers, including complex medical histories, cognitive decline, and notable changes in insurance coverage after retirement. These factors not only affect their access to dental care but also influence how treatments must be planned and delivered. This evidence-based CE webinar equips dental professionals with practical strategies to enhance the quality of care for older adults in dental office settings. Participants will learn to identify the specific caries risk factors associated with aging patients, apply preventive and minimally invasive management strategies, and adjust treatment protocols for medically fragile individuals. The webinar will also address the impact of changing insurance structures after retirement on access to care, as well as how dental teams can navigate these challenges to provide effective and patient-centered outcomes.

Guest: Dr. Sam Simos
For decades, dentists have been trained to believe that different clinical situations demand different composite materials—one for strength in the posterior, another for esthetics in the anterior, and often several more just to manage shade. But today, material science is challenging that long-held mindset. In this episode, we’re taking a hard look at whether we’ve truly entered the era of the universal composite—a single material that does it all. Our guest is Dr. Sam Simos, a general dentist for over 30 years practicing outside of Chicago Illinois. He is a well-respected speaker, clinician and product evaluator.

We'll be talking about the 3D printer itself as well as the materials that go into them. So if you thinking about incorporating 3D printing into your practice stay tuned for a very interesting episode. Our guest is Dr. Jeffrey Horowitz, a seasoned clinician and educator who is passionate about dentists seeing themselves as Oral and Facial Health Care Physicians rather than tooth mechanics.

From protective liners and indirect pulp caps that help shield the pulp from further damage, to direct pulp caps aimed at maintaining vitality, to pulpotomies and pulpectomies when deeper intervention is necessary—each approach plays a key role in managing pulpal health. So, how do we determine the best course of action? To tell us all about it is our guest is Dr. Carla Cohn. She is a general dentist, devoted solely to the practice of dentistry for children. She owns and operates Kids Sleep Dentistry Winnipeg, a private practice at Western Surgery Centre in Canada. Dr. Cohn has recently founded Lit Smile Academy, a continuing dental education company. With extensive teaching experience and numerous publications, she is recognized internationally for her contributions to continuing dental education.
