Instrument reprocessing is one of the most critical, yet vulnerable systems in dental practices. Breakdowns in workflow, packaging, or monitoring can compromise patient safety, compliance, and efficiency. This one-hour CE webinar delivers a practical, systems-based approach to creating a reliable instrument reprocessing workflow from point-of-use to sterilization and storage. Participants will explore ideal instrument flow in both small and large practices, implement best practices for load configuration and packaging, and understand the role of biological monitoring and validation. Attendees will also learn how to design an efficient sterilization center that minimizes cross-contamination and supports clinical success and acquire actionable strategies to strengthen protocols and ensure consistent, compliant outcomes.

In a world of scanners, lasers, and 3D printers, why would a dentist invest in GBT for their hygiene department? Dentists will never be free of the temptation to purchase another toy. Constant innovation in technology regularly promises to make dentistry easier, more predictable, and highly satisfying for the patient. The problem is, most equipment upgrades are used, at best, once or twice a day. Guided Biofilm Therapy is the one investment in dentistry that can be used on every patient that comes in for hygiene, making their experience more pleasant, efficient, effective, and motivating.

Tackling MIH and Trauma Lesions with Resin Infiltration
Presenter: Dr. Jeanette MacLean
Sponsor: DMG America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
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.

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.

Dental practices that open their doors to patients with developmental disabilities not only are rewarded with immense fulfillment in their work, but also a rapid expansion of their patient base through the powerful network of word-of-mouth marketing. They end up treating the entire family of the patient with the disability as well as their friends, relatives, and so forth. It is a fantastic way to grow your practice. To tell us more about helping patients with developmental disabilities get access to good dental care is our guest Jeanette Diaz. Jeanette is an educator, public speaker, and independent dental hygienist in California. She owns and operates a portable dental hygiene practice serving older adults and individuals with developmental disabilities. Jeannette currently works for the California Department of Developmental Services and teaches graduate and undergraduate studies.
