Modern periodontal and peri-implant therapy is increasingly guided by biologically driven, minimally invasive principles aimed at effective biofilm disruption while preserving hard and soft tissues. The integration of piezoelectric instrumentation and air-polishing technologies allows clinicians to tailor biofilm management strategies according to the specific clinical indication.
This CE webinar will describe the application of thin piezoelectric instrumentation for minimally invasive non-surgical periodontal therapy. The role of subgingival air polishing in the management of peri-implant mucositis will be discussed, with an emphasis on effective biofilm disruption while preserving implant surface integrity. In more advanced peri-implant disease, supra- and submucosal air-polishing approaches will be illustrated as part of a structured therapeutic protocol.
Through clinical cases and protocol-based workflows, the webinar will demonstrate how the appropriate selection and integration of these technologies, guided by biological rationale and disease severity, can enhance precision, tissue preservation, and long-term periodontal and peri-implant stability.

Snoring is a widespread condition associated with vibration of the soft tissues of the upper airway, particularly the uvula and soft palate, during sleep. Traditional surgical interventions may involve significant morbidity, driving interest in minimally invasive and non-invasive alternatives. This CE webinar explores the clinical application of non-ablative 2940 nm Er:YAG laser therapy as an outpatient approach for the management of primary snoring. The procedure utilizes sub-ablative settings to deliver controlled thermal energy to the oral mucosa and underlying connective tissues. This targeted heating is intended to stimulate collagen remodeling and neocollagenesis, contributing to tightening of the soft palate and surrounding tissues and reducing their tendency to vibrate during sleep. The webinar will review patient selection criteria, the biological mechanisms and laser-tissue interactions involved, recommended treatment parameters, the clinical procedure step by step, safety considerations, and the available scientific evidence regarding treatment outcomes and durability.
This CE webinar will provide clinicians with an evidence-based understanding of non-invasive Er:YAG laser therapy for the management of primary snoring. The learning objectives include understanding the mechanisms responsible for snoring, patient selection, the biological effects of non-ablative Er:YAG laser energy on oral tissues, and the clinical protocol for Er:YAG laser therapy. Participants will also learn how to evaluate treatment outcomes, safety considerations, and the current evidence regarding efficacy and durability.

Two colleagues discuss recent advancements in technology-driven approaches to moving and reshaping teeth. Direct-printed clear aligner therapy is being adopted by a growing number of practitioners in both orthodontic and general practice settings. Dr. Vargo, a seasoned orthodontist, shares how printed aligners have influenced his daily treatment decisions and how this category of appliance differs from thermoformed systems currently available. Dr. Shaw, a general dentist of 25 years who recently incorporated printed aligner therapy into his practice, discusses the clinical outcomes he has observed. Together they review how they evaluate which cases carry a high probability of success and how they approach limiting treatment times and revisions. They also address referral relationships between general practice and orthodontics, and a team-based approach to case generation.
Dr. Shaw will also cover minimally invasive cosmetic veneer technique using a custom, digitally designed 3D-printed matrix to injection mold chairside composite veneers - a technique he has used for nearly a decade. He will review the current generation of this matrix technology and discuss workflow considerations for no-prep and minimal-prep composite veneers, including factors relevant to clinicians new to the technique.

Dental fear and anxiety are among the most common reasons patients delay or avoid oral healthcare. The dental environment is filled with sensory stimuli, including bright lights, unfamiliar sounds, smells, tastes, and touch sensations that can contribute to distress and discomfort. For individuals who are neurodivergent, have intellectual or developmental disabilities, have experienced trauma, or experience heightened anxiety, sensory processing differences may further impact their ability to tolerate dental treatment.
This CE webinar introduces dental professionals to the role of sensory processing in the patient experience. It explores evidence-based sensory adaptations that can reduce anxiety, improve cooperation, and support more positive dental visits. Participants will learn practical, low-cost strategies to create a more sensory-friendly clinical environment and enhance patient-centered care for individuals across the lifespan.

This CE webinar will guide clinicians through a modern, evidence-based approach to creating beautiful composite veneers using the injection molding technique. Participants will learn how to integrate digital smile design into their workflow to plan esthetic outcomes with intention and accuracy. The webinar will cover case selection, template fabrication, material handling, and step-by-step clinical execution to ensure highly esthetic, minimally invasive results. Dr. Melissa Seibert will also discuss the evolving category of injectable composites - clarifying their indications, advantages, and limitations - to help clinicians make confident material and technique choices that elevate their esthetic dentistry.
Infection control in the dental operatory often focuses on major protocols, yet many risks arise from small, routine oversights that occur during everyday procedures. These seemingly minor gaps such as improper handling of materials, inconsistent surface asepsis, and lapses in workflow can significantly increase the potential for cross-contamination and compromise both patient and provider safety.
This one-hour CE webinar will highlight common infection control missteps observed in clinical settings and provide practical, compliant strategies to reduce risk. Special attention will be given to the handling and management of chairside materials, including restorative products, and how proper utilization can support safer clinical workflows. Participants will leave with actionable techniques to strengthen infection control practices, improve compliance with OSHA and CDC guidelines, and create a more consistent culture of safety within the operatory.
Part two of this two-part CE webinar series addresses the critical phases of implementation and evaluation in the dental hygiene process of care. Participants will explore advanced practices for clinical applications, examine the integration of cutting-edge technologies, and learn how to enhance patient-centered outcomes. Workflow optimization strategies specific to these stages will also be highlighted, focusing on increasing operational effectiveness and clinical efficiency. This course encourages the adoption of continuous innovation and professional growth, inspiring attendees to apply advanced strategies that elevate their practice and open new professional opportunities. An in-depth review of relevant CDT codes is included to ensure accurate billing and financial success. While tailored for dental hygienists, this course provides dentists with actionable insights to better guide and support the hygienists on their teams, fostering a more cohesive and productive practice environment.

Hygiene has always been viewed as important in dentistry—but what if it’s actually the most underutilized growth engine in the entire practice and the key to elevating the overall patient experience? On today’s episode, we’re unpacking what it really means to optimize the hygiene department and how that shows up in a dentist’s day-to-day life when it’s done right. Because when hygiene is empowered to do more, patients don’t just feel “cleaned”—they feel educated, cared for, and connected to the practice. Our guest is Tiffany Wuebben, RDH and Founder and CEO of The Hygienepreneur.

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.
