The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and laser technology is revolutionizing the field of dentistry, providing clinicians with new diagnostics and treatment capabilities to combat the growing epidemic of periodontitis and peri-implantitis. Recent advances in AI, particularly in machine learning, can enhance traditional radiographs to provide critical information on tooth structure, bone levels and surrounding tissues for more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning recommendations.

According to the American Cancer Society, almost half a million cases of oral cancer are diagnosed worldwide each year. In the United States alone, there were over 58,000 cases of oral cancer, with over 12,000 deaths in 2024. Unlike other cancers, where the annual rate of the disease is decreasing, the rate of oral cancer is increasing at a rate of about 1% each year. Survivors often experience problems such as facial disfigurement, eating and speaking difficulties, and more. The key to survival and minimizing the effects of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy is to identify oral cancers at their earliest stages, before it spreads throughout the head and neck region or metastasizes throughout the body. What can general practitioners do? Learn how to perform a comprehensive oral cancer screening on every patient with the latest fluorescence visualization devices. The American Dental Association has a CPT code for oral cancer screenings utilizing fluorescence visualization devices, and some dental insurance companies pay up to $150 for performing such an exam. Once discovered, general practitioners can perform simple soft tissue biopsies in their own offices, with materials they already have in their offices. The purpose of this CE webinar is to familiarize the dentist with a simple, yet comprehensive oral cancer screening program, followed by a simple soft tissue biopsy technique that any clinician can perform. There is no need to refer out such a simple, yet potentially life-saving treatment.


Featured On-Demand CE Webinars






3D Print Your Provisionals for Better Fit, Better Esthetics, and Convenience
Presenter: Dr. Susan McMahon
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Provisional restorations are a vital diagnostic and assessment tool. Function, color, shape, contour, occlusion, periodontal response, implant healing, and overall esthetics can be assessed with a well made provisional restoration. Accurate fit and margins are essential. Many clinicians make their provisionals utilizing bisacryl material and a pre-made stent. Lab made provisionals that are re-lined are also used. Printing your provisionals can save both time and money. Producing esthetic, well fitting, functional provisional restorations can be simply and efficiently done with your in-office 3D printer.







Less is More. Minimally Invasive LESS-ons
Presenter: Dr. Clarence Tam
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
In this CE webinar, we will review digital and analog shading techniques for direct and indirect restorations. The need to blend as well as maximize bond strength drives modifications in both preparation approach and material depending on the intra-arch and intra-tooth position and size. Controlling tooth position especially when balancing spaces with pre-prosthetic orthodontics is critical, especially when a maxillary lateral incisor is involved.







Dominate Posterior Composites by Leveraging Material Advancements
Presenter: Dr. Foroud Hakim
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Delivering optimal posterior composites often pose pain points for even the most technically skilled practitioner. Challenges with isolation, placement and layering, predictable curing, contour and contacts, and final finish/polish and esthetics, sometimes lead to underwhelming outcomes. This CE webinar is designed to provide updates on materials and techniques, which when integrated, can resolve many of the pain points facing doctors, and lead to better outcomes, happier patients, and greater satisfaction in practice.
