Similar But Not the Same: Cementation Considerations and Techniques for Zirconia vs Lithium Disilicate Crowns
Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz
Sponsor: Bisco
Tue  12/16/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Wed  12/17/25    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate are the 2 most popular current materials for crowns in the US. Although they can looks very similar with their excellent esthetic properties, the materials themselves require different pre-cementation protocols and materials. Understanding the proper way to treat each material before final cementation can effect the long term clinical performance. Additionally, because of the difference in the strength of each material there can be several "best" choices of cements that can be used. This CE webinar is created to discuss and demonstrate the materials, techniques and protocols specific to each material.


Expanding Horizons: Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implant Evaluation Using Wide-Frame CBCT
Presenter: Dr. Igor Borisov
Sponsor: ACTEON
Wed  12/17/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Thu  12/18/25    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
This CE webinar explores the advanced radiographic evaluation and planning of zygomatic and pterygoid implants through the use of wide-frame CBCT imaging. With the evolution of extra-maxillary anchorage techniques, clinicians now have the ability to restore patients with severe maxillary atrophy without resorting to grafting. Understanding the unique anatomic and prosthetic considerations of these implant sites is essential to optimizing both safety and long-term success. Participants will be guided through case examples highlighting how larger field-of-view CBCTs enhance visualization of critical structures such as the zygomatic buttress, pterygoid plates, and sinus boundaries. The discussion will include radiographic landmarks, implant trajectory planning, prosthetic emergence considerations, and risk management strategies for the posterior maxilla.


Minimally Invasive Workflows for Better Treatment of Enamel Defects

Zirconia vs. Lithium Disilicate: Different Cementation Protocols Required
Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
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.

When it comes to choosing the right material for your veneer or crown it can get a little tricky. Lately, it's been a contest between zirconia and lithium disilicate. There are definite clinical indications for each. And the other question is do we bond or use traditional cements. To give his perspective on all this is our guest is Dr. Todd Snyder. Dr Snyder is a popular speaker on Viva Learning.com, a cosmetic dentist, international author, lecturer and consultant to dental companies. He hosts a weekly podcast, Delusional: Winning the Weekly War of Dentistry. You can reach Dr. Snyder at: www.Legion.Dentist.

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Derse
Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.
