Porcelain veneer cementation is one of the most technique-sensitive stages of aesthetic treatment. In this one-hour CE webinar, Dr. Jason Olitsky presents a practical, step-by-step approach to delivering veneer cases with greater confidence and predictability. The webinar will review the critical stages of veneer try-in and cementation, including provisional removal, bleeding control, isolation, color evaluation, porcelain preparation, seating, cement cleanup, finishing, and occlusal adjustment. Real-world challenges such as show-through, tight contacts, incomplete seating, poor fit, exposed margins, and open gingival embrasures will also be discussed. Participants will leave with practical strategies they can immediately apply to simplify veneer delivery and improve aesthetic outcomes.

What makes some composite veneers maintain their brilliance for years while others discolor prematurely? In this CE webinar, join Dr. Andrew Ballard for a science-driven exploration of the factors influencing long-term color stability in direct resin veneers. This webinar examines the relationship between polymer chemistry, degree of conversion, curing light performance, oxygen-inhibited layers, and composite filler particle size. Special attention will be given to finishing and polishing protocols and how surface texture and material selection influence staining, gloss retention, and restoration longevity. Discover practical, evidence-based strategies to minimize discoloration and create beautiful, durable composite veneers that stand the test of time.

Successful direct restorations require more than selecting a composite and placing it into a preparation. Long-term clinical success is dependent upon understanding the complex relationship between adhesive systems, restorative materials, and light-curing technology. Advances in universal adhesives, bulk-fill and nanohybrid composites, antimicrobial restorative materials, and high-output LED curing lights have provided clinicians with powerful tools to improve efficiency and predictability. However, improper material selection or curing protocols can compromise polymerization, bond durability, marginal integrity, esthetics, and restoration longevity.
This evidence-based CE webinar reviews the science behind contemporary adhesive dentistry and composite placement while providing practical clinical protocols that can be immediately implemented in everyday practice. Through clinical cases, current research, and real-world restorative workflows, participants will learn how to maximize restorative performance by optimizing the interaction between adhesives, composites, and curing lights.

Successful endodontic treatment begins long before canal instrumentation. Managing structurally compromised teeth requires careful restorative planning before root canal treatment begins. This CE webinar will present a practical, evidence-based approach to pre-endodontic restoration, focusing on adhesive strategies, isolation, sealing, and management of the remaining tooth structure to improve treatment predictability and long-term outcomes, illustrated with clinical cases.

Attachments are one of the most misunderstood yet powerful tools in clear aligner therapy. In this CE webinar, Dr. Avi Patel breaks down the clinical science and practical application behind attachments — when to use them, how to design them, and how to avoid common mistakes that compromise outcomes. Through real case examples and step-by-step workflows, participants will learn how to integrate attachment strategies that improve predictability, reduce refinements, and save chair time. This CE webinar is designed for general dentists who want to confidently plan and execute attachment-based movements in everyday aligner cases.
This CE webinar covers the pros and cons of 3D imaging vs. 2D imaging, while building on previous topics covered in the first webinar. At the end we will consider the implications of these modalities when it comes to assessing for pathology in the oral and maxillofacial region.
Bonding procedures that perform reliably in permanent teeth can be less predictable when applied to primary teeth. Many clinicians experience frustrations such as early sealant loss, marginal breakdown of pediatric restorations, and bonding failures that seem difficult to explain. Differences in enamel structure, dentin composition, and the clinical conditions commonly encountered in pediatric dentistry create unique challenges for achieving durable adhesion. As a result, clinicians often face issues such as reduced sealant retention, restoration failure, and sensitivity to moisture contamination during pediatric bonding procedures.
This CE webinar examines the structural and chemical differences between primary and permanent teeth and how those differences influence adhesive performance. Participants will review the science behind enamel etching, dentin bonding, and hybrid layer formation in primary teeth, along with practical strategies to improve bond reliability in everyday pediatric practice. The webinar will also explore common causes of bonding failure and practical techniques that help clinicians achieve more consistent outcomes. Real-world protocols will be discussed for managing moisture contamination, optimizing etch patterns, and selecting adhesive materials that support reliable bonding in young patients. Attendees will gain practical insights that can improve restoration longevity, enhance sealant retention, and reduce clinical frustration when bonding to primary teeth.

When should you print in-house dentures, and when is it best to send cases to the lab? We’ll break it all down, exploring the clinical decision-making process, material considerations, and workflow efficiencies. Stay tuned for an insightful discussion on the evolving role of 3D printing in denture fabrication! Our guest is Dr. Russel Schafer. a general dentist in New Orleans, Louisiana who focuses on removable dentures and teaches other dentists how to design and print dentures in their office.

Today we’re talking about direct restorative materials that can truly change the course of your patients’ dental health — and no, not just composite, but glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer. Used strategically, these materials can help patients avoid a lifetime of fillings, crowns, and repeat dental work. And adopting this conservative approach doesn’t mean sacrificing revenue — in fact, building a practice focused on preserving healthy tooth structure attracts patients who value care that’s truly in their best interest. Joining us is Dr. Brian Nový, a leading cariologist at Virginia Commonwealth University with faculty appointments at Harvard and Western University, and a private practice owner in Salem, Massachusetts. He’ll explain how glass ionomer and RMGI bond to teeth, their clinical applications, address concerns about strength and aesthetics, and show how they can transform long-term patient outcomes.

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.
