We've heard it all before, however what are we doing about it? Strong evidence continues to reinforce that what begins as inflammation in the mouth greatly influences disease progression in other organs and systems throughout the body. This CE webinar will explore the biologic pathways linking the compromised oral environment to systemic disease. It's time to recognize our critical role in early identification, prevention, patient education, and intervention strategies that support both oral and systemic health outcomes. Emerge with efficient, patient-centered communication tools that translate into meaningful opportunities to convey the impact of compromised oral health on systemic well-being.

Zirconia Reimagined

Join Dr. Ed McLaren for an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in next-generation zirconia materials and restorative workflows. Discover how recent innovations in zirconia technology are redefining esthetics, efficiency, and clinical performance through advanced material engineering. Learn how an optimized microstructure delivers exceptional translucency-even with accelerated firing protocols-while maintaining high flexural strength and lifelike optical properties that closely mimic natural dentition. This CE webinar will examine the complete restorative workflow, from digital design and material selection to milling, sintering, characterization, and final finishing. In addition, Dr. McLaren will review evidence-based preparation designs and cementation protocols that optimize restoration longevity, fit, and esthetic outcomes across a wide range of clinical indications, from minimally invasive veneers to full-arch zirconia restorations. Attendees will gain practical insights they can immediately apply to improve efficiency, predictability, and patient satisfaction in ever

Zen and the Art of Provisionals: From Single Units to Veneers

We have all had the experience of a painful crown delivery appointment. The pain isn’t referring to the patient’s experience...it’s referring to ours! As we grind on the interproximal contacts and the occlusal surfaces, we casually blame the laboratory: "They left it fat and high again!" Unfortunately, most of the time we need to turn our criticisms inward and recognize the provisional is most often the problem. It becomes an afterthought in our indirect restoration appointment, but it's incredibly important to the restorative process. Whether it be a single unit or 12 veneers, we need to be able to fabricate excellent provisionals. This CE webinar will discuss workflows to make the provisional process a breeze.

Enamel Opacities Simplified: Digital Diagnosis and Modern Minimally Invasive Solutions
Presenter: Dr. Troy Schmedding, DDS, AACD

Enamel opacities - white spot lesions, fluorosis, trauma, and MIH - complicate diagnosis and treatment. This CE webinar offers a modern, simplified approach using transillumination, digital workflows, and updated materials to assess lesion depth and select the right treatment, including resin infiltration. Case examples cover expectation management and efficient, predictable outcomes - helping dentists deliver minimally invasive esthetic care with confidence and consistency.

Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease – Part 2
Presenter: LD Coaching

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway–inflammation–periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits. Dental hygienists will gain practical tools for recognizing airway-related red flags, implementing simple screening strategies within their scope, communicating findings confidently with patients, and integrating prevention-based periodontal care models that support long-term stability.

 Mastering Clear Aligner Attachments: Precision, Purpose, and Predictability
Presenter: Dr. Avi Patel
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Attachments are one of the most misunderstood yet powerful tools in clear aligner therapy. In this CE webinar, Dr. Avi Patel breaks down the clinical science and practical application behind attachments — when to use them, how to design them, and how to avoid common mistakes that compromise outcomes. Through real case examples and step-by-step workflows, participants will learn how to integrate attachment strategies that improve predictability, reduce refinements, and save chair time. This CE webinar is designed for general dentists who want to confidently plan and execute attachment-based movements in everyday aligner cases.






From Injection to Bulk Strength: Modern Direct Restoratives for Everyday Dentistry
Presenter: Timothy Bizga, D.D.S.
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Direct restoratives remain the foundation of general practice, yet material selection has never been more complex. This CE webinar presents a simple, clinically driven decision tree for choosing the right material in the right situation - combining aesthetics, strength, and efficiency.






Modern Adhesive Restorative Techniques
Presenter: Dr. Christopher Pescatore
Sponsor: COLTENE
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
This CE webinar will deal with numerous aspects of comprehensive restorative aesthetic dentistry and efficient patient care in today’s dental practice. We will discuss how to make routine dental procedures such as adhesion and direct resins more predictable and efficient using the latest material technologies. Also discussed will be the indirect restoration protocol including preparation design for the current restorative materials and the use of impression materials vs digital technologies. Insertion protocols will also be addressed to aide the clinician in developing a foolproof method to deliver high quality, long-lasting restorations.

Series: Bisco CE Credits: 0.5
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.
Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe
Today we’ll explore why direct composite procedures are quickly becoming a preferred alternative to traditional indirect restorations—and how you can use hybrid techniques like deep margin elevation and model-based composite crowns to deliver exceptional results without prepping away valuable tooth structure or sending cases to the lab. Joining us are two experienced clinicians, Dr Lauren Rainey and Dr Mauricio Watanabe. They will share how the use of highly filled nanocomposite materials in their techniques are transforming the way they restore teeth—and why patients are loving the results.
Series: Bisco CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. John Gammichia
Today we’re chatting with Dr. John Gammichia, a general dentist who’s made a name for himself saving what many would call “bombed out” teeth — all with conservative, direct composite. We’ll dive into how he handles deep decay and pulp exposures, the materials and techniques that make it possible, and how his approach has become a real practice builder — showing that fee-for-service dentistry focused on preserving tooth structure can be both patient-centered and profitable.
