Advances in the Treatment of Highly Carious and Severely Hypoplastic Permanent Posterior Teeth
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Solomon
Sponsor: SDI

For many decades, the treatment options for highly carious and/or hypoplastic permanent posterior teeth have been either large amalgam buildups, multi-surface composites or stainless-steel crowns. Most pediatric dentists or general dentists that treat children and teens know that large amalgam or composite restorations will leak or fracture at a high rate. Thus, the highly unaesthetic stainless-steel crown was the chosen restorative option. Today, there are a wide range of treatment options including non-invasive, low-cost treatments such as SDF as well as self-cure, highly esthetic composite-based restorative materials that are incredibly easy to use. This CE webinar will focus on giving patients a wide range of treatment options from immediate, low cost to highly esthetic, long-lasting stainless-steel crown alternatives.

Injection Molding Technique
Presenter: Dr. Tal Wilkins IV
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
A smile makeover is a very complex and involved treatment which incorporates an in-depth knowledge of smile design, proper occlusion, and the ability to work with a team, to include the dental laboratory technician. Typically, the treatment plan begins to come to life after a detailed smile analysis and a wax up which is ideally fabricated by a technician. The skilled technician’s hands use a free hand approach in the wax up. The difficulty lies in the dentist then transferring this plan, complete with the proper form and fine details, to the patient’s mouth.







The Value of Being Seen: Elevating Care for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Presenter: Jeannette Diaz, RDH, RDHAP, MS, MPH, FADHA
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Health inequities persist for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities experience poorer oral health and challenges accessing dental care. Historically, the dental curriculum did not require training dental professionals to care for and manage the treatment of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Providers often report feeling unprepared to care for this population. This CE webinar will evaluate the current barriers to care, identify complex factors contributing to oral health, and equip the dental provider with strategies to improve patient care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Series: GC America CE Credits: 0.25
Guest: Dr. Yao-Lin Tang
In the past, we didn't have many choices when it came to CAD CAM blocks. But today we do. In this episode, we'll be talking to a dentist who is well aware that Zr wins the strength contest but he has plenty of reasons to stay the course with LiSi. He specifically prefers a specific Lithium Disilicate bloc that saves him the step of firing after chairside milling. To tell us all about it is Dr. Yao-Lin Tang, who has over twenty years of practical knowledge in cosmetic and general dentistry. He is a CEREC user since 2005, a certified CEREC trainer, and a Visiting Faculty at CDOCS.com.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
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.
