Modern periodontal and peri-implant therapy is increasingly guided by biologically driven, minimally invasive principles aimed at effective biofilm disruption while preserving hard and soft tissues. The integration of piezoelectric instrumentation and air-polishing technologies allows clinicians to tailor biofilm management strategies according to the specific clinical indication.
This CE webinar will describe the application of thin piezoelectric instrumentation for minimally invasive non-surgical periodontal therapy. The role of subgingival air polishing in the management of peri-implant mucositis will be discussed, with an emphasis on effective biofilm disruption while preserving implant surface integrity. In more advanced peri-implant disease, supra- and submucosal air-polishing approaches will be illustrated as part of a structured therapeutic protocol.
Through clinical cases and protocol-based workflows, the webinar will demonstrate how the appropriate selection and integration of these technologies, guided by biological rationale and disease severity, can enhance precision, tissue preservation, and long-term periodontal and peri-implant stability.

Snoring is a widespread condition associated with vibration of the soft tissues of the upper airway, particularly the uvula and soft palate, during sleep. Traditional surgical interventions may involve significant morbidity, driving interest in minimally invasive and non-invasive alternatives. This CE webinar explores the clinical application of non-ablative 2940 nm Er:YAG laser therapy as an outpatient approach for the management of primary snoring. The procedure utilizes sub-ablative settings to deliver controlled thermal energy to the oral mucosa and underlying connective tissues. This targeted heating is intended to stimulate collagen remodeling and neocollagenesis, contributing to tightening of the soft palate and surrounding tissues and reducing their tendency to vibrate during sleep. The webinar will review patient selection criteria, the biological mechanisms and laser-tissue interactions involved, recommended treatment parameters, the clinical procedure step by step, safety considerations, and the available scientific evidence regarding treatment outcomes and durability.
This CE webinar will provide clinicians with an evidence-based understanding of non-invasive Er:YAG laser therapy for the management of primary snoring. The learning objectives include understanding the mechanisms responsible for snoring, patient selection, the biological effects of non-ablative Er:YAG laser energy on oral tissues, and the clinical protocol for Er:YAG laser therapy. Participants will also learn how to evaluate treatment outcomes, safety considerations, and the current evidence regarding efficacy and durability.

Two colleagues discuss recent advancements in technology-driven approaches to moving and reshaping teeth. Direct-printed clear aligner therapy is being adopted by a growing number of practitioners in both orthodontic and general practice settings. Dr. Vargo, a seasoned orthodontist, shares how printed aligners have influenced his daily treatment decisions and how this category of appliance differs from thermoformed systems currently available. Dr. Shaw, a general dentist of 25 years who recently incorporated printed aligner therapy into his practice, discusses the clinical outcomes he has observed. Together they review how they evaluate which cases carry a high probability of success and how they approach limiting treatment times and revisions. They also address referral relationships between general practice and orthodontics, and a team-based approach to case generation.
Dr. Shaw will also cover minimally invasive cosmetic veneer technique using a custom, digitally designed 3D-printed matrix to injection mold chairside composite veneers - a technique he has used for nearly a decade. He will review the current generation of this matrix technology and discuss workflow considerations for no-prep and minimal-prep composite veneers, including factors relevant to clinicians new to the technique.

Dental fear and anxiety are among the most common reasons patients delay or avoid oral healthcare. The dental environment is filled with sensory stimuli, including bright lights, unfamiliar sounds, smells, tastes, and touch sensations that can contribute to distress and discomfort. For individuals who are neurodivergent, have intellectual or developmental disabilities, have experienced trauma, or experience heightened anxiety, sensory processing differences may further impact their ability to tolerate dental treatment.
This CE webinar introduces dental professionals to the role of sensory processing in the patient experience. It explores evidence-based sensory adaptations that can reduce anxiety, improve cooperation, and support more positive dental visits. Participants will learn practical, low-cost strategies to create a more sensory-friendly clinical environment and enhance patient-centered care for individuals across the lifespan.

Lithium Disilicate is one of the two most commonly used materials for crowns and veneers. Many dentists know this material as eMax, as eMax is the current market leader is this catagory of material. To ensure proper adhesion and increase the longevity of lithium disilicate restorations careful attention should used to prepare the restoration for delivery as well as proper material selection for bonding and cementing the restoration. This CE webinar will discuss and demonstrate the materials and techniques to improve your efficiency and success with lithium disilicate restorations. This webinar is designed for the education of dentist and dental assistants, as a number of the steps involved are frequently performed by chairside assistants.
This comprehensive CE webinar explores the unique oral health challenges that arise during key hormonal phases in a woman's life: puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Participants will gain insight into the biological mechanisms behind oral-systemic changes, identify gender-specific risk factors, and learn evidence-based strategies for prevention, treatment, and patient education. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary collaboration, lifespan oral health promotion, and culturally sensitive care for female patients.
As the role of dental hygienists continues to expand, staying ahead of technological advancements is key to providing exceptional patient care. This CE webinar is tailored for dental hygienists eager to harness the power of technology to transform the patient experience. From digital scanning and AI-enhanced diagnostics to innovative patient communication platforms, attendees will learn how to integrate modern tools into their workflow, improving patient education and enhancing case acceptance for proactive interventions.

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're diving into the injection composite technique—a digital workflow that's helping dentists create predictable, lifelike restorations without relying solely on advanced freehand sculpting skills. Dr. Phil Klein sits down with Dr. Mackenzie Kelley, a cosmetic dentist, educator, and adjunct faculty member at Indiana University School of Dentistry. Dr. Kelly explains why this technique has become one of her go-to solutions for anterior composite dentistry, the clinical steps, the materials she trusts for outstanding esthetic outcomes, and how to determine when the injection composite technique is the right choice versus a traditional freehand approach. If you've been avoiding esthetic anterior composite cases because you don't love hand sculpting, this episode could completely change the way you practice direct restorative cosmetic dentistry.
