A Taste of Innovation: The Evolution of Dental Local Anesthesia Presenter: Dr. Mark Donaldson and Dr. Jason Goodchild Sponsor: Septodont Wed  8/19/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  8/19/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Local anesthesia remains one of the most important advances in the history of dentistry, yet clinicians continue to face challenges related to injection discomfort, bitter taste, delayed onset, inadequate anesthesia, lingering numbness, and patient anxiety. This CE webinar will review the fascinating evolution of local anesthetic agents from the earliest use of cocaine to the introduction of lidocaine and today's expanding armamentarium of anesthetic solutions. Participants will explore the pharmacology, safety profiles, and clinical applications of commonly used local anesthetics and vasoconstrictors, while examining evidence-based strategies to improve patient outcomes. Special emphasis will be placed on innovations such as anesthetic buffering, flavor-masked formulations, and practical approaches to enhancing the overall patient experience.

Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease - Part 1 Presenter: LD Coaching Sponsor: VOCO America Thu  8/20/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  8/20/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway-inflammation-periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits. Dental hygienists will gain practical tools for recognizing airway-related red flags, implementing simple screening strategies within their scope, communicating findings confidently with patients, and integrating prevention-based periodontal care models that support long-term stability.

What Does Science Tell Us About Fluoride Varnish? Presenter: Shelley Brown, MEd, BSDH, AS, RDH, FADHA Sponsor: Centrix Mon  8/24/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Mon  8/24/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

We are all familiar with fluoride varnish but in today's environment of fluoride hesitancy, misinformation, and marketing noise, it's easy to lose sight of the science that makes it so effective. To continue delivering the highest standard of preventive care, clinicians need a clear understanding of what actually happens after varnish is applied and why those mechanisms matter clinically. This CE webinar takes a closer look at the science behind fluoride varnish, including fluoride uptake, fluorapatite formation, and the role prolonged contact time plays in long-term enamel protection. We'll also explore how varnish formulations behave on the tooth surface and what clinicians should consider when selecting a varnish for their patients.

Cementation Confidence: STICKing to Systems So Your Ceramic Sticks! Presenter: Dr. Jennifer Derse Sponsor: Bisco Tue  8/25/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Tue  8/25/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Cementation is the final, decisive step that determines whether an otherwise excellent indirect restoration succeeds or fails, yet it's often where protocols become inconsistent, rushed, or based on habit rather than the specific material in hand. With the range of restorative materials in use today (zirconia, lithium disilicate and other glass-ceramics), no single cement or surface-treatment protocol applies to every case. This CE webinar takes a substrate-driven approach: matching the cement category and preparation steps to the restorative material, the clinical situation, and the amount of retention available. Through a step-by-step walkthrough of the cementation workflow, this CE webinar covers cement selection, intaglio surface treatment, the role of primers and silane coupling agents, isolation and contamination control, try-in and cleaning, seating, and finishing. The goal is to give clinicians a clear decision framework they can apply chairside to improve predictability, reduce post-operative sensitivity and debonding, and streamline what is often an unnecessarily complicated part of restorative dentistry.
