We've heard it all before, however what are we doing about it? Strong evidence continues to reinforce that what begins as inflammation in the mouth greatly influences disease progression in other organs and systems throughout the body. This CE webinar will explore the biologic pathways linking the compromised oral environment to systemic disease. It's time to recognize our critical role in early identification, prevention, patient education, and intervention strategies that support both oral and systemic health outcomes. Emerge with efficient, patient-centered communication tools that translate into meaningful opportunities to convey the impact of compromised oral health on systemic well-being.

We have all had the experience of a painful crown delivery appointment. The pain isn’t referring to the patient’s experience...it’s referring to ours! As we grind on the interproximal contacts and the occlusal surfaces, we casually blame the laboratory: "They left it fat and high again!" Unfortunately, most of the time we need to turn our criticisms inward and recognize the provisional is most often the problem. It becomes an afterthought in our indirect restoration appointment, but it's incredibly important to the restorative process. Whether it be a single unit or 12 veneers, we need to be able to fabricate excellent provisionals. This CE webinar will discuss workflows to make the provisional process a breeze.

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.

Alternative DME Materials Such as a Dual Cured Material to Help Raise the Box
Presenter: Dr. Patrick Calalang
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Deep Marginal Elevations (DME) can be very technique sensitive. Often times if the curing light cannot reach the restorative material due to sheer depth, we must come up with an alternative solution. Dual cured restorative materials have answered that puzzle. Dual cured materials are often misunderstood in the daily routine of a restorative dentist. This is mainly due to the clinician’s high comfort level with traditional light cured composite resins as their “go-to” material. During this CE webinar, I will explain the different mechanics between light cured versus dual cured materials and the role each has on stresses created and the impact on bonding. Then I will give a step by step systematic approach in using a dual cured material to obtain predictable and repeatable results when performing DME procedures. Finally, I will show clinical examples of Deep Marginal Elevations with dual cured materials and tips and tricks help obtain the desired result.







When You Get Close to the Pulp, Don’t Let It Spoil Your Day
Presenter: Dr. Scott Coleman
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
The most used materials in today’s general practice are burs, bonding agents, and composites for direct restorations. The evolution of this group of materials, in particular, is amazing. Today’s light cure resins are light years ahead of the materials that we thought were great 20 years ago. The evolution of materials includes base or lining materials when the proximity to the pulp requires some form of pulpal protection. Calcium has been proven to be a critical adjunct to the armamentarium of all general dentists performing routine decay excavation and tooth restoration. This CE webinar is designed for the busy dentist who wants to stay current with the available materials and concepts of efficient placement of tooth-colored restorations. We will discuss what matters most in pulpal protection material selection, depending upon location and occlusal load put on the restoration. Reduction and elimination of post-operative sensitivity will be addressed.

Featured Podcast Episodes
Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Mackenzie "Mac" Kelley
In this episode, we're diving into the injection composite technique—a digital workflow that's helping dentists create predictable, lifelike restorations without relying solely on advanced freehand sculpting skills. Dr. Phil Klein sits down with Dr. Mackenzie Kelley, a cosmetic dentist, educator, and adjunct faculty member at Indiana University School of Dentistry. Dr. Kelly explains why this technique has become one of her go-to solutions for anterior composite dentistry, the clinical steps, the materials she trusts for outstanding esthetic outcomes, and how to determine when the injection composite technique is the right choice versus a traditional freehand approach. If you've been avoiding esthetic anterior composite cases because you don't love hand sculpting, this episode could completely change the way you practice direct restorative cosmetic dentistry.

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.
