Dentinal hypersensitivity is a prevalent condition, affecting approximately 1 in 8 adults. While not typically classified as a dental emergency, it can significantly impact a patient’s comfort and quality of life. Whether caused by gum recession, bleaching, dentin exposure, or other factors, patients rely on dental professionals to provide effective relief. This CE webinar will focus on evidence-based strategies to prevent and manage dentinal hypersensitivity, equipping participants with the knowledge and tools to address this common concern.


From Dirty to Sterile: Building a Bulletproof Instrument Reprocessing Workflow
Presenter: Emily Boge, EdD, RDH, CDA, FAADH, FADHA
Sponsor: Tuttnauer

Instrument reprocessing is one of the most critical, yet vulnerable systems in dental practices. Breakdowns in workflow, packaging, or monitoring can compromise patient safety, compliance, and efficiency. This one-hour CE webinar delivers a practical, systems-based approach to creating a reliable instrument reprocessing workflow from point-of-use to sterilization and storage. Participants will explore ideal instrument flow in both small and large practices, implement best practices for load configuration and packaging, and understand the role of biological monitoring and validation. Attendees will also learn how to design an efficient sterilization center that minimizes cross-contamination and supports clinical success and acquire actionable strategies to strengthen protocols and ensure consistent, compliant outcomes.


The Equipment Upgrade That Has the Greatest Impact in a Dental Practice

In a world of scanners, lasers, and 3D printers, why would a dentist invest in GBT for their hygiene department? Dentists will never be free of the temptation to purchase another toy. Constant innovation in technology regularly promises to make dentistry easier, more predictable, and highly satisfying for the patient. The problem is, most equipment upgrades are used, at best, once or twice a day. Guided Biofilm Therapy is the one investment in dentistry that can be used on every patient that comes in for hygiene, making their experience more pleasant, efficient, effective, and motivating.


The Digital 3D Printed Splint Workflow: A Live Clinical Demonstration

Join us for a live, end-to-end demonstration of the complete digital splint workflow, from intraoral scanning to chairside delivery. In this CE webinar, you will follow a real clinical case as we walk through patient diagnostics, live CAD design, print setup, post-processing, and final delivery. Whether you are just beginning to explore digital dentistry or looking to refine your existing workflow, this session offers practical, hands-on insight into how 3D printing can simplify splint fabrication while improving clinical outcomes.


Bonding, Warming and Curing to Maximize Success with Composite Restorations

Does your daily restorative routine feel hindered by unpredictable outcomes or complex material choices? Nowadays, clinicians have many options for different options when it comes to composite restorations. Materials such as microfills, microhybrids, nanofills, bulkfills, and flowables are getting stronger and more versatile. Universal adhesives offer a level of compatibility that was not available a decade ago. This CE webinar presents an overview of how composite bonding chemistry, restorative materials and composite warming helps maximize the success of composite restorations.

The Value of Being Seen: Elevating Care for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Presenter: Jeannette Diaz-Olivera, DHSc, MPH, RDHAP, FADHA
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Health inequities persist for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities experience poorer oral health and challenges accessing dental care. Historically, the dental curriculum did not require training dental professionals to care for and manage the treatment of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Providers often report feeling unprepared to care for this population. This CE webinar will evaluate the current barriers to care, identify complex factors contributing to oral health, and equip the dental provider with strategies to improve patient care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Dental Implants – Parts, Pieces, Chemistry, and Compatibility
Presenter: Lynn Pencek, RDH, MS
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
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.


Featured Podcast Episodes
Series: DMG America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Julia Latham
Today we'll be discussing the benefits of 3D printing, and how it simplifies office workflow, increases efficiency, and allows dentists to provide the highest quality care to their patients. We will also detail the different applications 3D printing can be used for, as well as the specific steps involved. Our guest is Dr. Julia Latham, a general dentist and partner in a 5-doctor, 16-operatory practice in Stratford, Connecticut. She has completed many postdoctoral courses in orthodontics and is an Invisalign platinum provider.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Ryan Walsh
This episode addresses how MTA—mineral trioxide aggregate—can be used as both an indirect and direct pulp cap and is ideal for perforations. MTA isn’t just an endodontist's material—it’s very much a general dentist’s material as well. Especially now, as more of us focus on minimally invasive dentistry and are doing everything we can to preserve the natural tooth. Our guest is Dr. Ryan Walsh, who maintains a full time private practice in Keller, TX. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics (ABE) and serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Journal of Endodontics. Dr. Walsh maintains an appointment as Adjunct Assistant Professor at Texas A&M College of Dentistry and is actively involved in clinical research pertaining to bioactive materials, resorption processes, and clinical outcomes. He has lectured nationally and internationally on several topics in his specialty and has published multiple peer-reviewed articles and abstracts.



Series: Bisco CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. John Gammichia
Today we’re chatting with Dr. John Gammichia, a general dentist who’s made a name for himself saving what many would call “bombed out” teeth — all with conservative, direct composite. We’ll dive into how he handles deep decay and pulp exposures, the materials and techniques that make it possible, and how his approach has become a real practice builder — showing that fee-for-service dentistry focused on preserving tooth structure can be both patient-centered and profitable.
