Freehand composite bonding can be technique-sensitive, time-consuming, and inconsistent, even for experienced clinicians. As patient expectations continue to rise, dentists need a more predictable and efficient approach to delivering high-quality aesthetic results. This CE webinar introduces a smarter workflow for composite bonding using injection techniques. Participants will learn how to transition from freehand artistry to a structured, repeatable system that improves accuracy, efficiency, and confidence. We will cover case selection, smile design principles, matrix fabrication, and the clinical steps required to deliver predictable results. Emphasis will be placed on simplifying the workflow without sacrificing aesthetics, allowing clinicians to achieve consistent outcomes while reducing chair time and stress. Whether you are new to injection composite or looking to refine your technique, this webinar will provide practical strategies you can begin implementing immediately in your practice.

In an era where every manufacturer is throwing their hat into the shade simplification ring, how can the pragmatic doctor navigate the waters? From the promise of single shade, omnichromatic entries, to shade reduced options, and perhaps even well designed clustered shade pallets, this webinar is designed to debunk the myths and give attendees the tools to make educated material selection decisions. These decisions can lead to better inventory economics, while simultaneously improving the predictability of esthetic outcomes for patients. In this dynamic CE webinar, Dr. Hakim will share the latest innovations in the category, while also reviewing the basics of adhesive composite delivery to reinforce successful and lasting restorations.

This clinical, workflow-focused CE webinar walks through how CBCT is integrated into everyday implant dentistry—from diagnosis and case selection to virtual planning and guided placement. Attendees will see how cone beam data is used to evaluate anatomy, assess risk, and determine restorative-driven implant positioning. The webinar will feature a “scan to plan” demonstration: opening implant planning software, reviewing a CBCT scan, and virtually placing an implant in real time, with discussion of key landmarks, safety zones, and restorative considerations, including guide fabrication. Guided workflows will be covered in detail, including when to place freehand vs. guided, how guides are designed, and the steps involved in guide fabrication—whether produced in-house or through a lab/third-party service.

View Full Description »
We are 40 years since Professor Branemark introduced his research on osseointegration to the dental community. Dental Implants provide our patients with successful long-term restorative solutions for function, comfort, and aesthetics. Today, Dental Hygienists are seeing more patients with dental implants. Implant manufacturers have introduced new implant designs, surfaces, and surface chemistry that affect biocompatibility and maintenance protocols. There are concerns about what materials we use to reduce peri-implant inflammation, may negatively affect the implant surface's biocompatibility and the implant’s long-term success. This CE webinar will review dental implant component materials and design and the biological compatibility of commonly used instruments, technology, and therapeutic materials.

Today we’re talking about direct restorative materials that can truly change the course of your patients’ dental health — and no, not just composite, but glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer. Used strategically, these materials can help patients avoid a lifetime of fillings, crowns, and repeat dental work. And adopting this conservative approach doesn’t mean sacrificing revenue — in fact, building a practice focused on preserving healthy tooth structure attracts patients who value care that’s truly in their best interest. Joining us is Dr. Brian Nový, a leading cariologist at Virginia Commonwealth University with faculty appointments at Harvard and Western University, and a private practice owner in Salem, Massachusetts. He’ll explain how glass ionomer and RMGI bond to teeth, their clinical applications, address concerns about strength and aesthetics, and show how they can transform long-term patient outcomes.
