Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is an increasingly utilized adjunctive technology in modern dentistry. This introductory CE webinar provides dental professionals with a foundational understanding of the science, safety, and clinical applications of red light therapy in the dental setting. Participants will explore the biological mechanisms of red and near-infrared light, review current evidence supporting its use, and examine the top five dental procedures where red light therapy may be incorporated to support healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance patient comfort. Emphasis is placed on clinical indications, safety considerations, and practical integration into daily dental practice. This webinar is designed to equip dental professionals with the knowledge necessary to evaluate the role of red light therapy as part of comprehensive, patient-centered dental care.

Real-World Bonding: Practical Isolation and Adhesive Strategies for Everyday Restorative Dentistry
Presenter: Dr. Nathaniel Lawson
Sponsor: Zyris Isolite

Successful adhesive dentistry depends as much on effective isolation as it does on the bonding system itself. While rubber dam isolation is often considered the gold standard, it is not always practical or feasible in everyday clinical practice. This CE webinar will provide a realistic, evidence-based discussion of isolation and bonding strategies used in real-world restorative dentistry. Participants will compare the advantages and limitations of common isolation techniques, including rubber dam, high-volume evacuation, and alternative isolation methods. The webinar will also focus on practical management of contamination during adhesive procedures, including saliva and blood contamination of tooth preparations. Strategies for cleaning and reconditioning contaminated surfaces will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on integrating isolation systems that improve efficiency, enhance moisture control, and safely manage debris during procedures.


Composite Confusion to Clinical Clarity: Simplifying Restorative Workflows
Presenter: Dr. Sam Simos
Sponsor: VOCO America
Thu  2/12/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

Modern dentistry is drowning in material options - flowables, bulk-fills, esthetics-first composites, universal systems, and more. For many practices, this leads to bloated inventories, training difficulties, and inconsistent outcomes across providers. In this fast-paced, practical CE webinar, we’ll explore how to cut through the noise, simplify your restorative system, and deliver efficient, predictable results using one streamlined material protocol. You’ll also be introduced to a next-generation composite platform designed to cover the full range of anterior and posterior restorations using just five cluster shades and 4mm increments, without compromising esthetics, handling, or long-term durability. Whether you’re leading a DSO or running a solo practice, this webinar will help you reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and standardize care.


Porcelain Restorations and Adhesion to Improve Aesthetics, Function, and Unique Clinical Problems
Presenter: Dr. Nicolas Aguilera
Sponsor: Kuraray Noritake
Thu  2/19/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Fri  2/20/26    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
Porcelain restorations remain one of the most predictable materials in aesthetics and restorative dentistry. Their success, however, depends entirely on correct case selection, precise clinical execution, and a consistent, evidence-based bonding protocol. This CE webinar will review the fundamental principles of adhesion, contemporary ceramic systems and step-by-step protocols to manage common and complex clinical challenges. Participants will learn how to optimize aesthetics and function with a facial driven approach and mastering the temporaries technique so the master ceramist can replicate it in porcelain restorations. By the end of the webinar, clinicians will have a clear and reproducible workflow for planning, preparing, bonding, and maintaining porcelain restorations with confidence.

Elevating Patient’s Experience During an Interproximal Reduction Procedure
Presenter: Gory Cottinini
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Discover the differences between automatic and manual interproximal reduction. In the last 20 years there has been a major development in the use of clear aligners and functional concepts applied to orthodontic treatments, both on children and adult patients. A key element is interproximal enamel reduction, a fundamental practice to recover the interproximal space in order to facilitate teeth movement in orthodontic treatments and to insure clean and accurate procedures in Class II patients especially dealing in the posterior sectors. The main technology contributing, not only to obtaining excellent results, but to raise the level of care and protection towards patients is automatic IPR, helping clinicians to maintain excellent control, avoid over-reductions, avoid severe damages and excessive pressure applied to the patient during treatment; all factors that manual or obsolete techniques may cause.

Guest: Amanda Hill, RDH
So how do we elevate our practice and what does elevating our practice do for our career, business and patients. It actually does quite a lot. For one, it helps with employee retention. A recent poll showed that the number one reason why a dental hygienist leaves a dental practice is because the practice is not innovative, it's doing the same ol same ol and they feel they are stuck in a rut, not learning anything new. nor are they trying new techniques and products. Also part of our episode today is talking about incorporating diagnostics into our practice. Instead of rushing through the medical history and moving right to our scaling, root planing and prophies, we should dedicate time to diagnostic testing, getting to the root cause of the problem. As our guest Amanda Hill will explain, diagnostic testing is a game-changer for the practice and not only builds trust between the practice and the patient, but also drives revenue to a whole new level.
