Periodontal remission represents a new clinical benchmark for long-term stability. This evidence-based CE webinar empowers dental professionals to integrate precision assessment, inflammation control, and patient-centered home-care strategies to manage periodontally involved patients effectively. Participants will examine the current understanding of the oral microbiome, explore innovative technologies for diagnosis and monitoring, and learn how to personalize care protocols that promote measurable clinical improvement and sustained remission.


The Power of the Temporary: Elevating Restorative Success

Indirect restorative dentistry involves many details that can significantly affect the final outcome, with preparation and temporization often being overlooked. In this CE webinar, we will cover how to properly fabricate ideal crowns, bridges, and veneers using advanced provisional materials, while also addressing the critical role of temporary cements. We’ll discuss how cement selection impacts retention, sensitivity, marginal seal, and esthetics, and provide guidance on choosing the right cement for different clinical situations to ensure predictable, successful results.


Smart Materials, Smarter Dentistry: Unlocking the Power of Glass Restoratives

Take your patient care to the next level by incorporating materials that do more than just ‘fill’ or ‘seal’ teeth. Hydrophilic, bulk-fill, biomimetic, desensitizing, remineralizing. The chemical and physical properties of glass ionomer restoratives make them an ideal dental material choice. For clinicians that are either new to glass restoratives or looking to expand their use of these materials, the wide array of products can sometimes create confusion. Dr. MacLean will use case studies to demonstrate how she utilizes different materials to achieve clinical success. Learn how glass ionomer cement sealants can do more than just provide a physical barrier from plaque on pits and fissures, they are hydrophilic, can be placed on partially erupted molars, and act as a fluoride reservoir that helps to prevent caries and enhance remineralization. Glass hybrid restoratives help to reduce post-op sensitivity, reduce recurrent caries, improve outcomes, and have enhanced physical properties for long-lasting durability and esthetics. Dental materials are evolving and so should you!


Utilizing Jaw Motion Tracking Technology as a Virtual Articulator
Presenter: Dr. Mark Kleive

Digital technology has made another advancement, allowing clinicians to explore the role of mandibular jaw motion tracking in enhancing digital aesthetic and restorative workflows. Participants will learn how motion tracking technology functions as a virtual articulator, enabling more precise treatment planning and predictable outcomes. Clinical case examples will illustrate how integrating jaw movement data with intraoral scanning and CAD/CAM systems supports accurate smile design, functional restorations, and improved patient care.

Creating Beautiful, Efficient and Inexpensive Provisional Restorations!
Presenter: Dr. Jack Ringer
Sponsor: DMG America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
This CE webinar is designed to understand and illustrate the technique in creating beautiful anterior and posterior chair side provisional (prototype) restorations efficiently, predictably, and inexpensively utilizing bisacrylic resin. The variations of bisacrylic resins and which one achieves beautiful esthetics, greater durability and accuracy for your provisional restorations. In addition, there will be a discussion about the indications and uses of flowable resin as well as the temporary cement options for luting in one’s provisional restorations.







Warming Trends: Injecting Innovation into Dental Composites
Presenter: Dr. Frank Milnar
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Most dentists still think of composite as filling material that should be packed into boxy preps, cured in layers and used at room temperature. Today there is scientific evidence that is the wrong way to use composite. Injection molding techniques that can wrap around the preparations are possible by using heated multi-viscosity resins. You will discover the benefits and available options for various warming techniques.







Improving Esthetics of Direct Resin Posterior Restorations with a Single Shade Composite that Blends Naturally
Presenter: Dr. Gregori Kurtzman
Sponsor: DMG America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Direct resin posterior restorations can be challenging to blend with the surrounding tooth structure for several reasons ranging from discoloration of underlying tooth structure that can result when replacing an old amalgam that stained the dentin, teeth discolored due to tetracycline or other things related to when the tooth developed, tooth shades that do not fit standard Vita shades, to enamel and dentin that varies in shade on the tooth. Luckily, advances in restorative composite materials have allowed development of single shade resin materials for direct restorations, offering a simpler process using fewer materials to achieve excellent aesthetics that blends with the surrounding tooth. In this CE webinar, the benefits of using a universal shade composite to simplify direct resin restorations for use for Class I and II restorations, Class V restorations and core buildups will be discussed.

One of the most valuable steps a new dentist can take is finding a mentor—someone who’s been in the field for 25 years or more and has learned through experience, including their own mistakes. A mentor offers the chance to see what lies ahead, helping you avoid getting caught up in the moment and make well-thought-out decisions about the kind of practice you want to build and the investments you’ll need to make. Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Chris Pescatore, a general dentist with over 30 years of experience. He has been a pioneer in digital dentistry since the early ’90s and has seen it all when it comes to creating aesthetic restorations. As you listen to Dr. Pescatore’s insights, we hope you gain invaluable advice to help guide you as you embark on your own dental career.

According to Dr. Brian Novy, the application of fluoride varnish is, hands down, the most significant procedure we can do for our patients. But as with any procedure, there’s a right way—and a wrong way—to apply fluoride varnish. Dr. Novy will shed light on common mistakes that can undermine its effectiveness, a phenomenon he calls the "fluoride bomb." We’ll discuss what can go wrong during application, how to avoid these pitfalls, and what steps you can take to ensure your patients receive the full benefits of this essential preventive treatment. Dr. Brian Novy is a practicing dentist in Boston MA. He is President of the National CAMBRA Coalition, faculty at Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Western University of Health Sciences, and consumer representative for the US Food and Drug Administration Dental Products Panel.
