In this CE webinar, we will cover how to properly fabricate ideal crowns, bridges, and veneers using advanced provisional materials, while also addressing the critical role of temporary cements. We’ll discuss how cement selection impacts retention, sensitivity, marginal seal, and esthetics, and provide guidance on choosing the right cement for different clinical situations to ensure predictable, successful results.

Take your patient care to the next level by incorporating materials that do more than just ‘fill’ or ‘seal’ teeth. Hydrophilic, bulk-fill, biomimetic, desensitizing, remineralizing. The chemical and physical properties of glass ionomer restoratives make them an ideal dental material choice. For clinicians that are either new to glass restoratives or looking to expand their use of these materials, the wide array of products can sometimes create confusion. Dr. MacLean will use case studies to demonstrate how she utilizes different materials to achieve clinical success. Learn how glass ionomer cement sealants can do more than just provide a physical barrier from plaque on pits and fissures, they are hydrophilic, can be placed on partially erupted molars, and act as a fluoride reservoir that helps to prevent caries and enhance remineralization. Glass hybrid restoratives help to reduce post-op sensitivity, reduce recurrent caries, improve outcomes, and have enhanced physical properties for long-lasting durability and esthetics. Dental materials are evolving and so should you!

The Value of Being Seen: Elevating Care for Individuals 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, dental curriculum did not require training dental professionals on how to care for and manage treatment of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Providers often report feeling unprepared to care for this population. This course 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.
