Recurrent caries haunt each and every provider at one point or another. Pastes, rinses and home care tools can only go so far - sometimes we need to break the caries cycle at the tooth-restorative interface. This CE webinar will highlight some advances in composite chemistry that marry the convenience of a bulk fill with the smarts of remineralization. Caries risk assessment and adhesive considerations will be covered in detail, as each of these components in addition to our materials, make for more predictable restorative outcomes.

Additionally, preventive strategies, such as establishing oral health routines, regular dental visits, and collaboration between mental health providers and dental professionals, are discussed to enhance care and reduce the long-term risks of dental diseases for those living with mental illness. By fostering a holistic approach to care that addresses both mental and oral health, dental professionals can play a pivotal role in improving the overall well-being of individuals suffering from mental illness. The webinar concludes with recommendations for further research and education to bridge gaps in dental care for this vulnerable population.

What if you could keep more procedures in-house, reduce referrals, and maximize same-day dentistry? The 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser enables you to perform more high-value procedures—such as gingivectomies, frenectomies, and flapless crown lengthening-by minimizing bleeding, sutures and post-operative pain. Plus, by reducing the need for anesthesia in many cases, you create a more efficient, patient-friendly experience that sets your practice apart. In this CE webinar, join Dr. Jeff Rohde as he explores the clinical, business, and patient benefits of integrating the 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser.

I Can’t Take All This Science!
Presenter: Dr. Brian Novy
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Remineralization used to be as simple as "put some fluoride on it!" But is the array of products available today claiming “remineralization” pushing the limits of oral healthcare? In a clinical world of dry mouth and acidic beverages, perhaps we’re putting too much faith in an antiquated understanding of what happens on the surface of a tooth. The science of reversing demineralization can be summarized easily, but clinicians would be wise to realize it takes more than an electronegative anion to rebuild the strongest biological substance on earth. How far can we push chemistry before accepting biochemistry makes more sense, and what could go horribly wrong?


Featured Podcast Episodes

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.

Guest: Dr. Joshua Austin
Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. It's no secret to any of us listening to this podcast that costs are up and reimbursements haven't kept up and in some cases theyre going down. Inflation, supply chain issues, and short staffing have made it harder than ever to be profitable. So in light of all this, it's important that we work efficiently. Today we'll be discussing strategies to increase our efficiency and keep costs down without sacrificing quality. Our guest is Dr. Joshua Austin, who maintains a full time restorative dentistry practice in San Antonio, Texas. He is an editorial director and monthly columnist for Dental Economics magazine focusing on dental products and technology.

Guest: Irene Iancu, BSc, RDH
We've all seen the white spot lesions on our patients teeth. By any measure, they're not particularly aesthetic and most patients would love them to disappear. So why is it that for a large majority of patients that are actually visiting their dentist regularly, these lesions persist and essentially detract from their smile. The only logical answer I can come up with is that many dentists are not utilizing something called resin infiltration. It's a simple procedure that is remarkably effective in essentially making white spot lesions disappear. To tell us all about it is our guest Irene Iancu. Irene is a Canadian RRDH and entrepreneur with experience in various specialties like Pediatrics, Orthodontics, and Periodontics, she has combined all these elements in her start-up dental practice in Toronto, Toothlife Studio. Irene is an international speaker, key opinion leader, host of the Tooth or Dare podcast and creates educational content on all social platforms under the handle @toothlife.irene.
