Creating a Culture of Safe Dental Water: Evidence-based Strategies for Compliance and Patient Safety
Presenter: Dr. David Reznik
Sponsor: Solmetex

Dental unit waterlines remain one of the most overlooked infection prevention challenges in dentistry. While biofilm forms naturally in every dental waterline system, inadequate waterline management can compromise patient safety, increase regulatory risk, and expose practices to unnecessary liability. Presented by the President of the Georgia Board of Dentistry, who championed the development of Georgia’s Dental Unit Waterline Rule, this CE webinar provides practical, evidence-based guidance for building a comprehensive waterline management program that supports long-term compliance and consistent clinical outcomes. Participants will gain insight into emerging regulatory expectations, proven strategies for sustainable waterline safety, and the key elements of a successful program that protects patients while reducing risk. Whether building a new program or strengthening an existing one, attendees will leave with practical insights to help create a lasting culture of safe dental water.


New Materials and Technologies Along with Fusion of Digital and Analog Workflows Can Enhance Your Restorative Practice

Improvement in materials and technologies make it possible for all dentists to expand on direct restorative services they provide for their patients and improve indirect restorative workflows for difficult aesthetic cases. This CE webinar will discuss the fusion of digital and analog workflows to enhance predictability and patient satisfaction. Step-by-step case review will highlight the individual procedural elements to improve aesthetic and functional outcomes of your most challenging cases.


From Anterior to Posterior: A Prescriptive, Team-Based Isolation Protocol for Pediatric and Teen Patients
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Solomon
Sponsor: Zyris, creators of Isolite
Mon  9/28/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

This one-hour CE webinar presents a comprehensive approach to isolation in the pediatric and adolescent patient across restorative, preventive, and hygiene procedures. The webinar begins with rubber dam fundamentals and the clinical situations in which the dam remains the standard of care. It then examines hands-free isolation systems in depth, addressing intraoral mouthpiece selection for primary and transitional dentition, anterior applications where adequate isolation is most difficult to achieve, posterior quadrant dentistry, and the setup modifications required to accommodate varying levels of patient cooperation. The course also addresses the combined use of isolation and air polishing for the efficient removal of stain, plaque, and calculus — an approach of particular value in orthodontic patients, for whom conventional prophylaxis is both time-consuming and incomplete. Emphasis is placed throughout on defined team roles, as the consistency and quality of isolation depend as much on the assistant and hygienist as on the treating dentist. Participants will leave with a clear division of responsibility for who places, verifies, and manages isolation in the operatory.


Small Steps for Giant Outcomes

Sleep. Worry. Exercise. Daily disease control. Alcohol consumption. Sugar reduction. The list is long for behaviors or habits we strive to improve. Human nature enables us to commit to better habits repeatedly, but what are the keys to sustainability? Is there science to improve the predictability of achieving desired outcomes once new resolve or behavior is initiated? What strategies will help our patients achieve desired outcomes to improve beneficial behavior changes? Developing healthy habits to generate giant outcomes is not only realistic but can be sustained. Discover how others have paved the way. Be empowered to embrace even the most elusive behavior choices you or your patients have longed for!


Restorative Dentistry: Products, Innovations, Strategies, and Concepts that Make Fillings More Fulfilling
Presenter: Dr. Ankur Gupta

While most dentists consider fillings a major part of their bread and butter practice repertoire, most would agree that they are not enjoyable. voids, overhangs, post-op sensitivity, marginal leakage and stain, all combine to make fillings stressful, annoying, and difficult. In this highly relatable and pragmatic one hour CE webinar, Dr. Gupta shares simple products, procedural tweaks, and innovative strategy that make this part of dentistry more satisfying.

Simplified resins systems have become available to dentists over the last few years. These new resins allow for a reduced inventory while matching with multiple shades. Layering and polishing techniques using simplified resins are discussed in this CE webinar







Dental Implants – Parts, Pieces, Chemistry, and Compatibility
Presenter: Lynn Pencek, RDH, MS
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
We are 40 years since Professor Branemark introduced his research on osseointegration to the dental community. Dental Implants provide our patients with successful long-term restorative solutions for function, comfort, and aesthetics. Today, Dental Hygienists are seeing more patients with dental implants. Implant manufacturers have introduced new implant designs, surfaces, and surface chemistry that affect biocompatibility and maintenance protocols. There are concerns about what materials we use to reduce peri-implant inflammation, may negatively affect the implant surface's biocompatibility and the implant’s long-term success. This CE webinar will review dental implant component materials and design and the biological compatibility of commonly used instruments, technology, and therapeutic materials.







Zirconia vs. Lithium Disilicate: Different Cementation Protocols Required
Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Zirconia and lithium disilicate (eMax and others) are the two most common direct restorative materials. Predictable long term cementation success is dependent on the proper pre-cementation treatment and understanding the different cement options available. As we currently do not have a universal it is important to understand the different cement options to make an informed decision. This CE webinar is designed to review the proper pre-cementation protocols and discuss the different cement categories to help the viewer create a workflow and thought process that will increase the predictability of their restorations.

Guest: Dr. John Zalesky
Composite dentistry has changed dramatically over the past decade. We've gone from stocking dozens of shades and multiple classes of composites to universal composites, simplified adhesive systems, and new techniques that promise better results with less complexity. But are these advances really changing the way we practice? Is one universal composite enough for most clinical situations? Does composite warming actually improve outcomes? And could something as simple as your curing technique be the difference between a restoration that lasts for years—or one that fails prematurely? Dr. John Zalesky will help us separate the science from the marketing as we discuss today's universal composite restorative materials, the evolution of universal adhesives and selective etching and why one particular universal composite is generating so much attention. If you're looking to simplify your composite restorative workflow without sacrificing quality, you won't want to miss this conversation.

In this episode, we take a real-world, no-hype look at what it actually takes for general dentists to succeed with aligners. We talk about why our guest first brought clear aligner therapy into his practice, the game-changing role of mentorship, common mistakes that can derail cases, and practical clinical pearls—especially when it comes to attachments and case selection. Our guest is Dr. Avi Patel, general dentist and founder of Clear Aligner Advisor. He’s helped hundreds of dentists successfully integrate aligner therapy into their practices through hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world implementation support.

Guest: Dr. Sam Simos
For decades, dentists have been trained to believe that different clinical situations demand different composite materials—one for strength in the posterior, another for esthetics in the anterior, and often several more just to manage shade. But today, material science is challenging that long-held mindset. In this episode, we’re taking a hard look at whether we’ve truly entered the era of the universal composite—a single material that does it all. Our guest is Dr. Sam Simos, a general dentist for over 30 years practicing outside of Chicago Illinois. He is a well-respected speaker, clinician and product evaluator.
