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
Presenter: Dr. Chad Duplantis

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
Presenter: Dr. Jeanette MacLean
Sponsor: GC America

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
Sponsor: Shining 3D
Mon  12/8/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

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.


Cluster Shading - The Next Generation of Esthetic Restoratives
Presenter: Mr. Gregor Connell
Sponsor: VOCO America
Tue  12/9/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

The only constant in dental materials is change! Technological and chemical innovations are offering impressive advancements. Today’s conventional composites offer clinicians two options: First, the esthetic traditional layering technique and second, the bulk-fill technique. The former being the choice for most restorations in the anterior smile zone and the latter, often selected for the posterior regions of the mouth. While bulk-fill materials typically are deep-curing, time saving and offer clinical efficiency, they too often lack the esthetic properties required for beautiful esthetically demanding anterior restorations. For this reason, most clinicians have a second composite system in office that is designed to be placed in two-millimeter increments and will sometimes require a variety of shades to meet the esthetic demands. A new next-generation of resin composites is emerging. One that offers you the clinical efficiency of a bulk-fill, with an easy cluster shade-matching protocol and phenomenal esthetics! With outstanding, non-sticky handling and excellent polishability, perhaps now you only need one class of material for all of your restorative needs. At the conclusion of the CE webinar the attendees will have a clearer understanding of the clinical impact that this new chemistry and technology can have on their everyday restorative dentistry. More importantly, the attendees can evaluate if these evolutions may have a place in their own clinical practice.

Dentistry is challenging and stressful, but definitively working with the pediatric patient potentially can take all our energy and effort. This CE webinar will present the current, state-of-the-art, of the most contemporary techniques for behavioral management with the pediatric patient in the dental chair. All, nonpharmacological and pharmacological alternatives will be discussed in detail. The use of well-known techniques like "tell-show-do" will be re-introduced to the audience. The correct use of nitrous oxide and the indications (and contraindications) will be also presented with time to have a discussion of the critical "tips" for the successful use of nitrous oxide.

With the advent of resin composites, we have seen generations of materials that left something to be desired in either their strength or esthetics. The resin composites of the 2020’s are better than ever. This CE webinar will investigate new improvements in properties like polymerization shrinkage, flexural strength, polishability and filler percentage. In addition, we will explore the advantages of using universal adhesives for today’s direct restorations.

So we're beginning to hear more and more about the benefits of warming composite. For one thing, because of the lower viscosity at the time of application, it's a whole lot easier on your hand. But the real benefit lies in adaptation and we all know that the better adaptation, the less likely we'll see recurrent decay and post-operative sensitivity. To tell us why she loves warming composite and how easy it is to make the transition in your operatory to this technique, is our guest Dr. Lauren Rainey. Dr. Rainey is a regular contributor on Viva Learning.com and currently teaches direct restorative techniques to dentists in the US & Canada.
