Instrument reprocessing is one of the most critical, yet vulnerable systems in dental practices. Breakdowns in workflow, packaging, or monitoring can compromise patient safety, compliance, and efficiency. This one-hour CE webinar delivers a practical, systems-based approach to creating a reliable instrument reprocessing workflow from point-of-use to sterilization and storage. Participants will explore ideal instrument flow in both small and large practices, implement best practices for load configuration and packaging, and understand the role of biological monitoring and validation. Attendees will also learn how to design an efficient sterilization center that minimizes cross-contamination and supports clinical success and acquire actionable strategies to strengthen protocols and ensure consistent, compliant outcomes.


The Equipment Upgrade That Has the Greatest Impact in a Dental Practice

In a world of scanners, lasers, and 3D printers, why would a dentist invest in GBT for their hygiene department? Dentists will never be free of the temptation to purchase another toy. Constant innovation in technology regularly promises to make dentistry easier, more predictable, and highly satisfying for the patient. The problem is, most equipment upgrades are used, at best, once or twice a day. Guided Biofilm Therapy is the one investment in dentistry that can be used on every patient that comes in for hygiene, making their experience more pleasant, efficient, effective, and motivating.


The Digital 3D Printed Splint Workflow: A Live Clinical Demonstration

Does your daily restorative routine feel hindered by unpredictable outcomes or complex material choices? Nowadays, clinicians have many options for different options when it comes to composite restorations. Materials such as microfills, microhybrids, nanofills, bulkfills, and flowables are getting stronger and more versatile. Universal adhesives offer a level of compatibility that was not available a decade ago. This CE webinar presents an overview of how composite bonding chemistry, restorative materials and composite warming helps maximize the success of composite restorations.


Simplifying the Digital “Puzzle” in Full-Arch Dental Implant Rehabilitation
Presenter: Dr. Richard Martin
Sponsor: Shining 3D
Tue  6/30/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
The rapid evolution of digital technologies - including facial scanning, intraoral photogrammetry (IPG), and 3D printing—has fundamentally changed the way clinicians approach full-arch dental implant rehabilitation. This CE webinar will present practical, real-world case scenarios to demonstrate how digital data - from facial scans to intraoral photogrammetry - can be aligned within a unified workflow. Emphasis will be placed on achieving a seamless digital flow between surgical and prosthetic phases, improving accuracy, efficiency, and communication. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how to simplify the digital process, leverage emerging technologies, and apply these concepts predictably in daily clinical practice.

The pH Party in Your Mouth that You Weren't Invited To

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) affects your quality of life and your overall health. The ability to safely swallow is vital for adequate nutrition and hydration, and it prevents foods and liquids from entering your lungs, where they can cause pneumonia. Depending on which part of the swallowing process is affected, dysphagia can be described as: • Oral dysphagia — when the problem is in the mouth, usually due to the movement of the tongue • Pharyngeal or oropharyngeal dysphagia — when the problem is regarding food passing through the throat • Esophageal dysphagia — when food is unable to move down through the esophagus Swallowing disorders can lead to tooth decay and other oral health issues if they cause food or liquid to remain in the mouth. This can increase the risk of cavities and other oral diseases.







Decoding Dental Product Ingredients and Their Hidden Dangers
Presenter: India Chance, RDH
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
This CE webinar underscores the crucial role of comprehensive knowledge about dental products, particularly for patients with pre-existing health conditions that could be aggravated by specific ingredients. The absence of this understanding could precipitate allergic manifestations, medicinal contraindications, and even acute medical emergencies. This curriculum provides participants with a thorough comprehension of dental product ingredients, their possible adverse effects, and strategies to mitigate these risks in routine clinical practice. Through a scientific lens, it enables healthcare providers to better manage patient health by considering the potential impacts of dental product ingredients on various disease states.







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.

Guest: Dr. Brian Novy
Remineralization of teeth is a natural process through which essential minerals, such as calcium and phosphate, are deposited back into the enamel, effectively reversing early stages of tooth decay. What can we do as hygienists and dentists to augment this natural process? According to our expert speaker, Dr. Brian Novy, it is a multifactorial approach which involves good communication with the patient and using the right therapeutics. Listen in to hear what the expert has to say.

As individuals, each of us have a unique set of oral health needs. These needs are influenced by a myriad of factors including our age, medical history, dental history, lifestyle, and genetics. And because of this, oral health assessments are pivotal in both diagnosing existing issues and in crafting preventative strategies to maintain long-term oral health. To talk about the oral health assessment in more depth and give us some super practical recommendations is our guest Kerry Lepicek. Kerry over 20 years of clinical experience as a registered dental hygienist and continues to work part-time in a clinical setting. She is an international speaker, a published author. and serves on the Advisory Board of the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health.

Dental practices that open their doors to patients with developmental disabilities not only are rewarded with immense fulfillment in their work, but also a rapid expansion of their patient base through the powerful network of word-of-mouth marketing. They end up treating the entire family of the patient with the disability as well as their friends, relatives, and so forth. It is a fantastic way to grow your practice. To tell us more about helping patients with developmental disabilities get access to good dental care is our guest Jeanette Diaz. Jeanette is an educator, public speaker, and independent dental hygienist in California. She owns and operates a portable dental hygiene practice serving older adults and individuals with developmental disabilities. Jeannette currently works for the California Department of Developmental Services and teaches graduate and undergraduate studies.
