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.

Extracted teeth represent a biologically compatible grafting material that is often overlooked in clinical practice. This CE webinar explores the use of autologous dentin as a bone graft, highlighting its biologic properties, including inherent growth factors and structural similarity to bone. The webinar will review clinical applications, with particular attention to compromised patients where enhanced healing and integration are critical. Attendees will also be introduced to practical workflows that allow chair side processing of extracted teeth into graft material, supporting efficient and predictable regenerative outcomes.

Bacterial contamination of dental unit water lines is a growing liability concern for all dental offices. Bacteria that may be present include Legionella, Pseudomonas and Non-tuberculosis Mycobacteria. Without proper protocols, it is possible for dental unit water bacteria levels to be as much as 1000 times what is deemed acceptable by the CDC. This CE webinar, presented by Compliance Training Partners, highlights Centers for Disease control guidelines for dental unit water and provides solutions for maintaining a safe and healthy environment for both patients and staff. The webinar also reviews proper testing protocol and describes how to correct a dental unit water system that contains unacceptable levels of bacteria.

After veneer preparation, success depends on creating aesthetic, functional temporaries and executing a predictable cementation workflow. This CE webinar provides a streamlined, step-by-step approach to both phases. Participants will learn how to fabricate provisional veneers that support tissue healing, function, and aesthetics, while serving as a guide for final restorations. The webinar also outlines an efficient, evidence-based cementation process, including material selection, surface treatment, isolation, try-in, and adhesive bonding techniques. Key materials, clinical techniques, and common pitfalls will be discussed to help improve efficiency, consistency, and long-term outcomes.

This CE webinar is designed to provide clinicians with practical, experience-based guidance for achieving predictable and esthetic posterior composite restorations. Drawing from over 25 years of clinical practice, the lecture will highlight best practices that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and long-term success. Participants will gain insight into the essential tools and materials required for optimal outcomes, as well as how to avoid common and preventable diagnostic errors that can compromise treatment. The webinar will also focus on decision-making strategies for selecting the appropriate composite materials based on tooth location and functional demands. Attendees will learn proper tooth preparation techniques for esthetic restorations and will be introduced to streamlined methods and instrumentation that allow for faster, easier procedures while maintaining a natural appearance. Clinical video demonstrations of Class II and Class V composite restorations will further reinforce these concepts and provide real-world application.

More dentures are being made through digital processes as dentists try to bring this service in office to lower their lab bill and labs try to speed up their production flows. Also resins and printers have been continually improving so that patients get a better prosthetic. Dr. Russell Schafer has been fabricating digital dentures in his office since 2018 using a variety of 3d printers and resins. Despite this, he still works closely with a CDT for many cases. In this CE webinar, Dr. Schafer will go through how he decides when to make 3d printed denture in house vs when to send it to a lab to design vs when to send it to a conventional denture lab. Also we will discuss efficient methods for taking denture records to minimize the number of appointments needed to deliver well fitting dentures. Finally, we will discuss different types of dentures and methods of manufacturing 3d printed dentures.
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.
This one-hour CE webinar focuses on equipping dental professionals with clinical, practical, and evidence-based recommendations for pulpal therapy in primary dentition. The preservation of primary teeth plays a vital role in ensuring oral health, speech development, mastication, and maintaining space for permanent teeth. This webinar will delve into modern treatment techniques, materials, and restorative approaches that maximize the success of pulpal therapy while considering the unique needs of young patients. Attendees will gain actionable insights into diagnostic strategies and treatment modalities to enhance patient care in pediatric dentistry.

What does it mean for dental hygienists to take charge of the operatory? Traditionally seen as supporting roles, hygienists have focused on cleaning teeth and patient education. But our guest today believes they can do much more—enhancing case acceptance, improving clinical outcomes, and elevating overall patient care. Her mission is to empower hygienists to lead, take ownership of their role, and contribute beyond their clinical duties. Dr. Kelly Tanner is a reg dental hygienist who holds a Ph.D. in Business and Leadership. Her website is nextleveldentalhygiene.com.

So how do we elevate our practice and what does elevating our practice do for our career, business and patients. It actually does quite a lot. For one, it helps with employee retention. A recent poll showed that the number one reason why a dental hygienist leaves a dental practice is because the practice is not innovative, it's doing the same ol same ol and they feel they are stuck in a rut, not learning anything new. nor are they trying new techniques and products. Also part of our episode today is talking about incorporating diagnostics into our practice. Instead of rushing through the medical history and moving right to our scaling, root planing and prophies, we should dedicate time to diagnostic testing, getting to the root cause of the problem. As our guest Amanda Hill will explain, diagnostic testing is a game-changer for the practice and not only builds trust between the practice and the patient, but also drives revenue to a whole new level.
