According to the American Cancer Society, almost half a million cases of oral cancer are diagnosed worldwide each year. In the United States alone, there were over 58,000 cases of oral cancer, with over 12,000 deaths in 2024. Unlike other cancers, where the annual rate of the disease is decreasing, the rate of oral cancer is increasing at a rate of about 1% each year. Survivors often experience problems such as facial disfigurement, eating and speaking difficulties, and more. The key to survival and minimizing the effects of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy is to identify oral cancers at their earliest stages, before it spreads throughout the head and neck region or metastasizes throughout the body.

Pushing the Envelope: Direct and Indirect Posterior Solutions with Composite Presenter: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe Sponsor: VOCO America Wed  4/2/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  4/2/25    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

The science and technology built into dental composite resins is impressive, but rarely do practitioners (or patients) realize how versatile our materials really can be. Direct placement is the most common approach for composite, but by relying on the material science within, predictable indirect composite restorations can also be life-like, strong and long lasting. Join the co-presenters in this CE webinar as they review cases from North and South America as they compare and contrast uses of composite resin in their daily practice.

Some of the new and updated dental procedure codes will include revisions and additions to implant maintenance procedures, long requested by hygienists.
