Real-World Bonding: Practical Isolation and Adhesive Strategies for Everyday Restorative Dentistry
Presenter: Dr. Nathaniel Lawson
Sponsor: Zyris Isolite

Successful adhesive dentistry depends as much on effective isolation as it does on the bonding system itself. While rubber dam isolation is often considered the gold standard, it is not always practical or feasible in everyday clinical practice. This CE webinar will provide a realistic, evidence-based discussion of isolation and bonding strategies used in real-world restorative dentistry. Participants will compare the advantages and limitations of common isolation techniques, including rubber dam, high-volume evacuation, and alternative isolation methods. The webinar will also focus on practical management of contamination during adhesive procedures, including saliva and blood contamination of tooth preparations. Strategies for cleaning and reconditioning contaminated surfaces will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on integrating isolation systems that improve efficiency, enhance moisture control, and safely manage debris during procedures.


Composite Confusion to Clinical Clarity: Simplifying Restorative Workflows
Presenter: Dr. Sam Simos

Modern dentistry is drowning in material options - flowables, bulk-fills, esthetics-first composites, universal systems, and more. For many practices, this leads to bloated inventories, training difficulties, and inconsistent outcomes across providers. In this fast-paced, practical CE webinar, we’ll explore how to cut through the noise, simplify your restorative system, and deliver efficient, predictable results using one streamlined material protocol. You’ll also be introduced to a next-generation composite platform designed to cover the full range of anterior and posterior restorations using just five cluster shades and 4mm increments, without compromising esthetics, handling, or long-term durability. Whether you’re leading a DSO or running a solo practice, this webinar will help you reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and standardize care.


Porcelain Restorations and Adhesion to Improve Aesthetics, Function, and Unique Clinical Problems
Presenter: Dr. Nicolas Aguilera

Porcelain restorations remain one of the most predictable materials in aesthetics and restorative dentistry. Their success, however, depends entirely on correct case selection, precise clinical execution, and a consistent, evidence-based bonding protocol. This CE webinar will review the fundamental principles of adhesion, contemporary ceramic systems and step-by-step protocols to manage common and complex clinical challenges. Participants will learn how to optimize aesthetics and function with a facial driven approach and mastering the temporaries technique so the master ceramist can replicate it in porcelain restorations. By the end of the webinar, clinicians will have a clear and reproducible workflow for planning, preparing, bonding, and maintaining porcelain restorations with confidence.


Integrating CO2 Laser Technology into your CAD/CAM Workflow
Presenter: Dr. Amarjit Rihal

Incorporating a 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser into a digitally driven practice can elevate how clinicians deliver care. This CE webinar explores how laser technology complements tools such as intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM systems to simplify workflows, improve precision, and unlock new procedural opportunities, often enabling efficient same-day care. By reducing bleeding, sutures, and post-operative discomfort, the 9.3-micron CO2 laser enables dentists to confidently perform high-value procedures including implant uncoveries, tissue recontouring, flapless crown lengthening, and more. Join Dr. Amarjit Rihal as he reviews practical applications and real-world cases that demonstrate how combining laser and digital technologies can enhance clinical outcomes, improve efficiency, and elevate the patient experience.

The secrets to long lasting restorations are partially under our control and partially determined by attributes within the materials used. Strength is important. Lower levels of shrinkage are key. But so are preparation guidelines, minimizing water and saliva contamination, as well as occlusal forces. Dr. Peter Auster analyzes the benefits of some of today’s best composites as well as ways to optimize their lifetime.
