Open Wide and Look Inside: Oral Anomalies and Pathologies in Children and Adolescents
Presenter: Sherri Lukes, RDH, MS, FAADH
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends an oral health exam after eruption of the first tooth or by one year of age. The erupting teeth, however, are not the only structures for examination in children and adolescents. Multiple anomalies and pathologies can arise in the oral cavities of our young patients. This CE webinar will provide an overview of anomalies/pathologies that may present in the oral cavity of young patients through adolescence, presented in a fun and engaging manner. Cases will be presented, encouraging audience participation to arrive at a differential diagnosis for each case. The importance of interdisciplinary care among healthcare providers will also be stressed.







Adhesive Dentistry - What, Why, and How
Presenter: Dr. Todd Snyder
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
There is a concept in dentistry that somehow adhesion is better and yet we see amalgams and crowns, held on by zinc phosphate cement, are still working in patients mouths 40+ years later but we see failure rates and replacements of various adhesive dentistry in 5-10 years. Where techniques use to be more simplistic with less steps and basic fundamentals we achieved success, and now we throw out many of those concepts and replace them with adhesion, we expect to find longevity. Are you seeing longevity or are you seeing more sensitivity, problems, failures or costly redos? This CE webinar is a look at where we are at with modern adhesion and what we believe we know. The goal is to give you some systems, tools and thoughts to consider to help you and your patients to have better longevity and success in the restorative dentistry you provide.







Zirconia vs. Lithium Disilicate: Different Cementation Protocols Required
Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Zirconia and lithium disilicate (eMax and others) are the two most common direct restorative materials. Predictable long term cementation success is dependent on the proper pre-cementation treatment and understanding the different cement options available. As we currently do not have a universal it is important to understand the different cement options to make an informed decision. This CE webinar is designed to review the proper pre-cementation protocols and discuss the different cement categories to help the viewer create a workflow and thought process that will increase the predictability of their restorations.
