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

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.


50 Shades of Inflammation: the Mouth Body Mind Connection

Want to learn about "permanent lifestyle change" and quench your patients' flames & their disease risk? There is an avalanche of evidence demonstrating the connection between your patients' mouths with their modern lifestyle habits: lack of sleep (saps their discipline), shift work (after 4 night-shifts blood sugar is elevated), poorly managed stress (shows up in every cell of their body), overeating (high fat & processed food boosts inflammation), and sedentary living (did you know "Sitting is the New Smoking?"). And it's bi-directional; the oral environment has far reaching effects on the rest of the body. Patients appreciate the dental health professional who sees the bigger picture in the body, mind and mouth and see its interconnectedness. Stop the fiery cascade with specific dental & lifestyle solutions guaranteed to change your patients' health destiny. This fact filled and inspirational CE webinar is a "call to arms" against "hot spots" of inflammation - "let's douse the flames!"


Small Footprint, Big Impact: Same-Day Restorations with Nano-Sized Chairside 3D Printing
Presenter: Dr. Michael Erdos
Sponsor: Shining 3D
Tue  7/7/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

The digital restorative workflow has matured to the point where same-visit crowns, inlays, and onlays are now reliable, strong, and easy to implement. A new generation of compact chairside printers brings fast, chairside-friendly printing into a small footprint that fits comfortably next to a curing light in any dental operatory. Paired with an integrated ecosystem — intraoral scanning, AI-driven design, and streamlined print preparation — these systems make it realistic for a GP to scan, design, print, and deliver a definitive restoration in a single appointment. This one-hour CE webinar will walk attendees through the complete chairside digital workflow, from capturing the initial intraoral scan to seating the final restoration. We will review clinical indications best suited for in-office printing — single-unit crowns, inlays, and onlays — and demonstrate how AI-assisted design and intuitive print setup dramatically reduce the traditional learning curve associated with chairside 3D printing. The goal is for every attendee to leave with a clear, practical understanding of how an in-office printer can be integrated into their practice to save chair time, reduce lab dependency, and deliver predictable same-day results.


Growth without Compromise: Lessons Learned for Merging Practices While Maintaining a Health-centered Focus
Presenter: Dr. Stephanie Vondrak

This CE webinar is designed to provide dental professionals with practical, experience-based guidance for successfully growing and integrating multiple practices while maintaining a health-centered philosophy of care. Drawing from real-world lessons learned through practice mergers and expansion, the webinar will explore strategies for preserving continuity of patient care, strengthening team culture, and sustaining operational efficiency during periods of growth. Participants will gain insight into common challenges associated with practice integration, including communication barriers, workflow disruptions, and team alignment, along with actionable solutions to address them. The webinar will also examine how effective systems and processes can support profitability and efficiency without compromising clinical excellence or patient-centered outcomes. In addition, attendees will learn how material selection and clinical workflow decisions can influence practice performance by reducing chair time, simplifying inventory management, and enhancing the overall patient experience. Through practical examples and proven approaches, participants will leave with tools to support sustainable growth while preserving the core values that define high-quality, health-focused care.

Smiles in Sickle Cell Care: Preventive Dental Hygiene Strategies for Enhanced Health
Presenter: Linda Chandler-Jacobs, BS, RDH
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) or the Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) face unique challenges when they need dental treatment. Unfortunately, many dental professionals know very little about sickle cell disease and are not aware of the clinical manifestations and precautions that should be taken when treating these patients. Sickle cell disease severely affects oral health including increased risk of infections, severe dental decay caused by vaso-occlusal neglect, delayed healing and bone density issues. Sickle cell disease is the most prevalent genetic disease affecting approximately 7.7 million people worldwide of all nationalities. Participants of this webinar will gain insights into the unique oral health challenges faced by individuals with SCD and the importance of preventive care in mitigating these risks. The CE webinar will cover essential preventive dental hygiene practices, tailored treatment planning, and communication strategies to effectively support this patient population. By focusing on initiative-taking oral health care, the webinar aims to enhance the quality of life and overall health outcomes for individuals with Sickle Cell Disease, addressing both their physical and emotional well-being.







Efficient Digital Dentures
Presenter: Dr. Russell Schafer
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
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.

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.
