Zirconia has established itself as one of the most versatile and reliable materials in contemporary restorative dentistry. With advancements in CAD/CAM technology and speed-sintering protocols, zirconia restorations have become more efficient and predictable than ever before - particularly for implant-supported prosthetics. This evidence-based CE webinar will explore the expanding role of zirconia in modern chairside dentistry, with a special focus on restoring dental implants using the long-awaited hybrid zirconia implant abutment block. This innovative material offers unprecedented versatility, enabling clinicians to design and fabricate either screw-retained or cement-retained implant restorations from a single block.
Participants will gain practical insight into clinical case selection, optimal preparation design, and strategies to streamline the zirconia workflow—from digital impression to finishing and delivery. Emphasis will also be placed on bonding and cementation protocols critical to the long-term success of zirconia restorations. You won’t want to miss Dr. Dhaval Patel share his experience and knowledge!

Unsightly congenital enamel defects from molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and trauma can be troublesome for many patients. Historically, these blemishes have been treated with invasive and costly resin bondings and veneers. Dealing with enamel defects can prove particularly troublesome for young patients, which when left untreated, often become a source of embarrassment for the patient. This CE webinar will review tips and tricks to manage these enamel defects with resin infiltration. This noninvasive approach can improve or even completely reverse the appearance of congenital enamel defects while preserving tooth structure and repairing the patient’s natural enamel.

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.
In this CE webinar participants will learn tips and tricks for implementing composite artistry in their practice.
This CE webinar explores the importance of integrating mental health considerations into dental care strategies, focusing on patient-centered approaches to improve outcomes. Key aspects covered include understanding the oral health implications of psychiatric medications, the role of oral health professionals in recognizing signs of mental illness, and the need for tailored dental care plans to accommodate the specific needs of this population. Additionally, preventive strategies, such as establishing oral health routines, regular dental visits, and collaboration between mental health providers and dental professionals, are discussed to enhance care and reduce the long-term risks of dental diseases for those living with mental illness. By fostering a holistic approach to care that addresses both mental and oral health, dental professionals can play a pivotal role in improving the overall well-being of individuals suffering from mental illness. The webinar concludes with recommendations for further research and education to bridge gaps in dental care for this vulnerable population.

One of the most valuable steps a new dentist can take is finding a mentor—someone who’s been in the field for 25 years or more and has learned through experience, including their own mistakes. A mentor offers the chance to see what lies ahead, helping you avoid getting caught up in the moment and make well-thought-out decisions about the kind of practice you want to build and the investments you’ll need to make. Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Chris Pescatore, a general dentist with over 30 years of experience. He has been a pioneer in digital dentistry since the early ’90s and has seen it all when it comes to creating aesthetic restorations. As you listen to Dr. Pescatore’s insights, we hope you gain invaluable advice to help guide you as you embark on your own dental career.

Until recently, Dr. Sarah Winter, who runs a cosmetic focused practice in La Jolla CA, used two different composite systems for her direct restorative cases. She used a micro-filled composite for her anterior cases for high polishability and a bulk fill for her posterior cases which provided lots of strength. But recently, she found one material that actually does both, offering strength and esthetics. According to Dr. Winter, this newer material has made her life and her staff's a whole lot easier. Today we'll talk about her transition to this new restorative composite.

Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.
