Why do some patients maintain excellent home care habits while others struggle to stay consistent? This webinar explores the behavioral science behind oral health compliance, examining how patient preferences, habits, and reward systems influence daily home care routines. Participants will gain insight into the common reasons flossing and other preventive behaviors break down over time and learn practical strategies for guiding patients toward lasting change. Through a behavior-based approach, attendees will discover how to improve patient engagement, strengthen recommendations, and select tools that support long-term success.

Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
More and more, dental hygienists are expected to select the most accurate CDT procedure codes for the medically necessary treatment they provide to patients. Since the ADA’s Code Maintenance Committee meets yearly, those procedures and their descriptors can either be amended, deleted, or stay the same. The CE webinar will discuss the changes (or not) and additions/deletions which came on January 1, 2025. Some of the new and updated dental procedure codes will include revisions and additions to implant maintenance procedures, long requested by hygienists. In addition, more and more caries management products are being developed and how to know which code is the most appropriate. And what procedure code for desiccation therapy? A total of 10 new codes, 8 revised codes and 2 deleted codes will be presented.

Today, we’re tackling a question every restorative dentist has asked at some point: can one composite really do it all? For decades, we’ve accepted tradeoffs—great polish but limited strength, strong posterior composites with compromised esthetics. But composite technology has come a long way. According to our guest, Dr Susan McMahon, we’ve reached a point where a single universal composite can handle virtually every direct restorative case—and on top of that deliver stellar results. So if you’re looking to simplify your restorative workflow without compromising outcomes, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
