Zen and the Art of Provisionals: From Single Units to Veneers Presenter: Dr. Joshua Austin Sponsor: Pulpdent Tue  10/6/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Tue  10/6/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

We have all had the experience of a painful crown delivery appointment. The pain isn't referring to the patient's experience...it's referring to ours! As we grind on the interproximal contacts and the occlusal surfaces, we casually blame the laboratory: "They left it fat and high again!" Unfortunately, most of the time we need to turn our criticisms inward and recognize the provisional is most often the problem. It becomes an afterthought in our indirect restoration appointment, but it's incredibly important to the restorative process. Whether it be a single unit or 12 veneers, we need to be able to fabricate excellent provisionals. This CE webinar will discuss workflows to make the provisional process a breeze.

Enamel Opacities Simplified: Digital Diagnosis and Modern Minimally Invasive Solutions Presenter: Dr. Troy Schmedding, DDS, AACD Sponsor: DMG America Wed  10/7/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  10/7/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Enamel opacities - white spot lesions, fluorosis, trauma, and MIH - complicate diagnosis and treatment. This CE webinar offers a modern, simplified approach using transillumination, digital workflows, and updated materials to assess lesion depth and select the right treatment, including resin infiltration. Case examples cover expectation management and efficient, predictable outcomes - helping dentists deliver minimally invasive esthetic care with confidence and consistency.

Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease - Part 2 Presenter: LD Coaching Sponsor: VOCO America Thu  10/8/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/8/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway-inflammation-periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits.

Beyond Shape: Characterization and Texture in Direct Composite Veneers Presenter: Dr. Drew Ballard Sponsor: Tokuyama Dental America Mon  10/12/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Mon  10/12/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Creating a beautiful direct composite veneer is about more than achieving the right shape and shade. The details that ultimately make a restoration feel natural are often found in the final stages: surface texture, characterization, anatomy, light reflection, and the subtle imperfections that allow the dentistry to blend seamlessly with the surrounding dentition. In this CE webinar, Dr. Drew Ballard will share his approach to characterization and texture in direct composite resin veneers, demonstrating how he takes a restoration from simply well-shaped to natural and lifelike.

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.

Empowering Hygienists to be Healthy, Informed, and Efficient Presenter: Brittany Gordon, RDH Sponsor: COLTENE CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

More and more dental offices are booked months in advance and are operating with a limited staff. Dentists expect hygienists to deliver thorough cleanings but with less time allotted for each procedure. I would like to discuss ways to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality. The demands of life make it challenging to keep up with new and innovative technology. I would like to cover the latest technological advancements and products that could lead to better patient outcomes. Finally, I want to address personal health and wellness, which is essential for career longevity. In addition to exploring in-office and home yoga techniques, I would like to conduct a deep dive into anatomy, helping hygienists understand why their bodies hurt and exploring natural options to help them feel their best and perform at their highest level. After the CE webinar you can expect to offer new, highly sought-after services that help keep dental patients from escaping your practice.
