Bonding procedures for indirect restorations are among the most technique-sensitive steps in restorative dentistry, and often they are the key difference between predictable longevity and early failure. From ceramic veneers and onlays to full-coverage restorations and post-endodontic build-ups, understanding substrate management, adhesive selection, and proper material handling is critical for long-term success. This CE webinar will break down bonding protocols into clear, practical steps that can be immediately implemented in daily practice. With a special focus on adhesive practices and material selection, this course will explore decision-making for enamel vs. dentin bonding, selective etch protocols, dual-cure compatibility, post cementation considerations, and predictable core build-up techniques. Attendees will gain confidence in simplifying their armamentarium while elevating clinical outcomes through a consistent, evidence-based bonding workflow.


Evidence-Based Prevention: Implementing Caries Risk Assessment Protocols Into Your Practice
Presenter: Robyn Duke, DipDH
Sponsor: Solventum (formerly 3M Health Care)
Wed  4/1/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

Current evidence shows that caries management is best done using an individualized risk assessment where detailed information about the specific risk factors of each patient can be used to establish the risk of developing future caries, and to create an effective treatment plan. This CE webinar will provide tips on implementing caries risk assessment protocols and offer evidence-based treatment options for your patients. Communication skills to help increase treatment acceptance will also be discussed.


GBT meets GPT: AI for Dental Hygiene
Presenter: Dr. Peter Fritz

This CE webinar introduces dental professionals to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and its practical applications in patient care. Participants will explore how AI technologies are transforming diagnostics, documentation, and patient education in the dental operatory. Using a five-domain framework, the course examines how AI intersects with the full scope of dental practice: diagnostic, predictive, operational, professional/regulatory, and compassionate AI. Participants will discover how tools like GPT and GBT each deliver meaningful platform value and experience value, enhancing capability and quality across clinical workflows. Through real-world examples and practice-relevant case studies, this course will leave you informed, empowered, and ready to embrace the future of dental care.

Staying Alive: Bioactive Advances in Pulp Therapy highlights modern, evidence-based strategies for preserving pulp vitality. This CE webinar explores how bioactive materials support healing and regeneration of the dentin–pulp complex, with practical insight into indications, techniques, and material selection for vital pulp therapy. Designed for all clinicians, it connects science to everyday clinical decision-making.


Traditional vs. Custom Attachments: Improving Predictability in Clear Aligner Therapy
Presenter: Dr. Clayton Myers
Sponsor: Solventum (formerly 3M Health Care)
Thu  4/9/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
Attachments play a critical role in aligner biomechanics, yet the method used to create and deliver attachments can significantly influence clinical efficiency, predictability, and esthetic outcomes. This CE webinar explores the differences between traditional attachment creation methods and custom attachment systems delivered via pre-fabricated trays. Participants will examine common challenges associated with conventional attachment workflows—such as technique sensitivity, variability in attachment shape, excess composite cleanup, and inconsistent engagement—and compare them with newer custom approaches designed to improve consistency and streamline clinical procedures. Practical considerations related to treatment planning, attachment placement, and bonding best practices will be discussed to help clinicians make informed decisions when selecting an attachment strategy for aligner therapy.

Empowering Hygienists to be Healthy, Informed, and Efficient
Presenter: Brittany Gordon, RDH
Sponsor: COLTENE
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
More and more dental offices are booked months in advance and are operating with a limited staff. Dentists expect hygienists to deliver thorough cleanings but with less time allotted for each procedure. I would like to discuss ways to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality. The demands of life make it challenging to keep up with new and innovative technology. I would like to cover the latest technological advancements and products that could lead to better patient outcomes. Finally, I want to address personal health and wellness, which is essential for career longevity. In addition to exploring in-office and home yoga techniques, I would like to conduct a deep dive into anatomy, helping hygienists understand why their bodies hurt and exploring natural options to help them feel their best and perform at their highest level. After the CE webinar you can expect to offer new, highly sought-after services that help keep dental patients from escaping your practice.







Warming Trends: Injecting Innovation into Dental Composites
Presenter: Dr. Frank Milnar
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Most dentists still think of composite as filling material that should be packed into boxy preps, cured in layers and used at room temperature. Today there is scientific evidence that is the wrong way to use composite. Injection molding techniques that can wrap around the preparations are possible by using heated multi-viscosity resins. You will discover the benefits and available options for various warming techniques.

According to Dr. Brian Novy, the application of fluoride varnish is, hands down, the most significant procedure we can do for our patients. But as with any procedure, there’s a right way—and a wrong way—to apply fluoride varnish. Dr. Novy will shed light on common mistakes that can undermine its effectiveness, a phenomenon he calls the "fluoride bomb." We’ll discuss what can go wrong during application, how to avoid these pitfalls, and what steps you can take to ensure your patients receive the full benefits of this essential preventive treatment. Dr. Brian Novy is a practicing dentist in Boston MA. He is President of the National CAMBRA Coalition, faculty at Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Western University of Health Sciences, and consumer representative for the US Food and Drug Administration Dental Products Panel.
