Simplifying Veneer Cementation: Real-World Solutions for Predictable Delivery
Presenter: Dr. Jason Olitsky
Sponsor: Ivoclar
Mon  11/16/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

Porcelain veneer cementation is one of the most technique-sensitive stages of aesthetic treatment. In this one-hour CE webinar, Dr. Jason Olitsky presents a practical, step-by-step approach to delivering veneer cases with greater confidence and predictability. The webinar will review the critical stages of veneer try-in and cementation, including provisional removal, bleeding control, isolation, color evaluation, porcelain preparation, seating, cement cleanup, finishing, and occlusal adjustment. Real-world challenges such as show-through, tight contacts, incomplete seating, poor fit, exposed margins, and open gingival embrasures will also be discussed. Participants will leave with practical strategies they can immediately apply to simplify veneer delivery and improve aesthetic outcomes.


Aligned for Success - Elevating the Clear Aligner Journey Through Smarter Hygiene

Clear aligner treatment is more than tooth movement; it’s a full-mouth health transformation. This CE webinar walks doctors and teams through the habits, hygiene strategies, and patient coaching that keep aligner cases tracking, gingiva healthy, and refinement rates low. Learn how to guide patients through a predictable aligner journey by integrating simple, science-backed hygiene protocols that support biological success without overwhelming your workflow.


Beyond the Polish: The Science of Stain-Resistant Composite Veneers
Presenter: Dr. Drew Ballard

What makes some composite veneers maintain their brilliance for years while others discolor prematurely? In this CE webinar, join Dr. Andrew Ballard for a science-driven exploration of the factors influencing long-term color stability in direct resin veneers. This webinar examines the relationship between polymer chemistry, degree of conversion, curing light performance, oxygen-inhibited layers, and composite filler particle size. Special attention will be given to finishing and polishing protocols and how surface texture and material selection influence staining, gloss retention, and restoration longevity. Discover practical, evidence-based strategies to minimize discoloration and create beautiful, durable composite veneers that stand the test of time.


Light, Bond, Restore: Optimizing Adhesives, Composites, and Curing Protocols for Long-Term Clinical Success
Presenter: Dr. Sam Simos

Successful direct restorations require more than selecting a composite and placing it into a preparation. Long-term clinical success is dependent upon understanding the complex relationship between adhesive systems, restorative materials, and light-curing technology. Advances in universal adhesives, bulk-fill and nanohybrid composites, antimicrobial restorative materials, and high-output LED curing lights have provided clinicians with powerful tools to improve efficiency and predictability. However, improper material selection or curing protocols can compromise polymerization, bond durability, marginal integrity, esthetics, and restoration longevity. This evidence-based CE webinar reviews the science behind contemporary adhesive dentistry and composite placement while providing practical clinical protocols that can be immediately implemented in everyday practice. Through clinical cases, current research, and real-world restorative workflows, participants will learn how to maximize restorative performance by optimizing the interaction between adhesives, composites, and curing lights.


Pre-Endodontic Restoration: Keys to Long-Term Success
Presenter: Dr. Alejandra Darras Saavedra
Sponsor: VOCO America
Mon  11/23/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Tue  11/24/26    0:00 AM UTC

Successful endodontic treatment begins long before canal instrumentation. Managing structurally compromised teeth requires careful restorative planning before root canal treatment begins. This CE webinar will present a practical, evidence-based approach to pre-endodontic restoration, focusing on adhesive strategies, isolation, sealing, and management of the remaining tooth structure to improve treatment predictability and long-term outcomes, illustrated with clinical cases.

Tackling MIH and Trauma Lesions with Resin Infiltration
Presenter: Dr. Jeanette MacLean
Sponsor: DMG America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Unsightly congenital enamel defects from molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and trauma can be troublesome for many patients. Historically, these blemishes have been treated with invasive and costly resin bondings and veneers. Dealing with enamel defects can prove particularly troublesome for young patients, which when left untreated, often become a source of embarrassment for the patient. This CE webinar will review tips and tricks to manage these enamel defects with resin infiltration. This noninvasive approach can improve or even completely reverse the appearance of congenital enamel defects while preserving tooth structure and repairing the patient’s natural enamel.







You Don’t ONLY Use Glass Ionomer, Do You?
Presenter: Dr. Brian Novy
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)

There are some dentists who boldly (or quietly) love and respect a different material, but for all the rest, who say, “Yeah, but…” there must be another way. Imagine a clinical day without recurrent decay…there is a way! At the end of this CE webinar, participants should be able to: • Contrast ormocers from composites and glass ionomers • Defend the evidence for sealants • Witness caries lesion arrest







Composite Confusion to Clinical Clarity: Simplifying Restorative Workflows
Presenter: Dr. Sam Simos

View Full Description »
Modern dentistry is drowning in material options - flowables, bulk-fills, esthetics-first composites, universal systems, and more. For many practices, this leads to bloated inventories, training difficulties, and inconsistent outcomes across providers. In this fast-paced, practical CE webinar, we’ll explore how to cut through the noise, simplify your restorative system, and deliver efficient, predictable results using one streamlined material protocol. You’ll also be introduced to a next-generation composite platform designed to cover the full range of anterior and posterior restorations using just five cluster shades and 4mm increments, without compromising esthetics, handling, or long-term durability. Whether you’re leading a DSO or running a solo practice, this webinar will help you reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and standardize care.

Today we’ll explore why direct composite procedures are quickly becoming a preferred alternative to traditional indirect restorations—and how you can use hybrid techniques like deep margin elevation and model-based composite crowns to deliver exceptional results without prepping away valuable tooth structure or sending cases to the lab. Joining us are two experienced clinicians, Dr Lauren Rainey and Dr Mauricio Watanabe. They will share how the use of highly filled nanocomposite materials in their techniques are transforming the way they restore teeth—and why patients are loving the results.

We'll be talking about the 3D printer itself as well as the materials that go into them. So if you thinking about incorporating 3D printing into your practice stay tuned for a very interesting episode. Our guest is Dr. Jeffrey Horowitz, a seasoned clinician and educator who is passionate about dentists seeing themselves as Oral and Facial Health Care Physicians rather than tooth mechanics.

So, you're about to deliver the final restoration. Do you realize that what you do during this appointment will play a major role not only in how long that restoration lasts, but also in how satisfied your patient is with the final result? From preparing the tooth and conditioning the intaglio surface to selecting the right bonding protocol and cement, these final chairside steps have a tremendous impact on long-term success. In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Derse shares practical, evidence-based techniques for cementing lithium disilicate and zirconia restorations, selecting the right materials, achieving outstanding shade matches, protecting the pulp, and avoiding the most common cementation mistakes. If you want more predictable, durable, and esthetic indirect restorations, you won't want to miss this episode.
