With the increase in popularity and demand for clear aligners, many dental professionals face situations that comprise complex malocclusions and questions on how to achieve the most predictable results. The first step is to choose a system that can deliver in this environment, while also considering potential hybrid treatment plans.

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

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.

Most doctors know the LANAP® and LAPIP™ protocols but it’s the Value-Added Procedures (VAPS™) that make laser dentistry unstoppable. In this business-forward, no-fluff CE webinar, Dr. Vivian Roknian reveals how to unlock the full financial potential of laser dentistry, turning it from a single-purpose tool into a true practice growth engine. You’ll learn how to stack high-yield, low-overhead procedures that diode and erbium lasers simply can’t touch—from implant osteotomy detox and hemangioma removal to herpetic lesion treatment, paresthesia recovery and cosmetic upgrades patients are demanding. This CE webinar goes far beyond the LANAP® and LAPIP™ protocols. It’s a masterclass in dozens of laser protocols that drive patient satisfaction and revenue while expanding what’s clinically possible in your operatory. Whether you already own a laser or are on the fence, this webinar will show you exactly how to increase chair value, scale patient production, and build a more profitable, future-ready practice using minimally invasive treatments.

Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey
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.
