Socket Preservation is becoming a standard of care after dental extraction. Preservation of the ridge is important not only for dental implant surgery but for the long term health and well being of both tooth and ridge supported prosthetics. In this CE webinar, we give a high yield review of the technical considerations and graft selections available today. The goal is for the clinician to confidently discuss and integrate this effective and rewarding procedure into their practices.


Improving Esthetics of Direct Resin Posterior Restorations with a Single Shade Composite that Blends Naturally
Presenter: Dr. Gregori Kurtzman
Sponsor: DMG America

Direct resin posterior restorations can be challenging to blend with the surrounding tooth structure for several reasons ranging from discoloration of underlying tooth structure that can result when replacing an old amalgam that stained the dentin, teeth discolored due to tetracycline or other things related to when the tooth developed, tooth shades that do not fit standard Vita shades, to enamel and dentin that varies in shade on the tooth. Luckily, advances in restorative composite materials have allowed development of single shade resin materials for direct restorations, offering a simpler process using fewer materials to achieve excellent aesthetics that blends with the surrounding tooth. In this CE webinar, the benefits of using a universal shade composite to simplify direct resin restorations for use for Class I and II restorations, Class V restorations and core buildups will be discussed.


Prevention - The Base for Good Oral Health and Restorative Success
Presenter: Timothy Bizga, D.D.S.
Sponsor: Centrix

Restorative care is the core of dentistry. Dentists are proud of their work and the beautiful restorations they create; however, with high-risk patients it can feel like building a house on sand when the restoration ultimately fails due to secondary caries. Preventive care addresses the underlying cause (dental caries) and ultimately ensures a more predictable restorative outcome. In this webinar, I will discuss the importance of individualized preventive care – how it benefits the patient’s overall oral health, and in cases where the patient receives restorative treatment, extends the longevity of the restoration. I will further explain how prevention is not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Treatment should be tailored to the patient’s caries risk and should not be limited by age or insurance coverage.

Guest: Dr. Todd Snyder
Many of us rely on ceramic materials for our indirect restorations. And with today's choices, we need to be aware of how we handle these materials before cementation. We also need to understand the differences between ceramic and zirconia and how we prepare these materials prior to cementation. To tell us all about it and share some invaluable clinical tips is our guest Dr. Todd Snyder. Dr Snyder is a popular speaker on Viva Learning.com, a cosmetic dentist, international author, lecturer and consultant to dental companies. He hosts a weekly podcast, Delusional: Winning the Weekly War of Dentistry. You can reach Dr. Snyder at: www.Legion.Dentist.

So there are quite a few materials to choose from these days when it comes to our indirect restorations. Today we'll be talking about the popular ones and we'll also be discussing how we get them to stay on the tooth, meaning, do we go adhesive or cohesive and what are some of the materials we should be considering. To tell us all about is our guest Dr. Alex Vasserman, a practicing dentist in NYC.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.25
Guest: Alicia Murria, RDH, MS
Too often, clinical dental hygienists have a limited view of their role as, what our guest calls, inflammatory disease prevention specialists. While this is the crux of what hygienists do, patient care goes well beyond. Today we'll be talking about the oral-systemic link and how hygienists can leverage this to add life-saving value to each patient they see and improve the profitability of their practice. Our guest is Alicia Murria, a quality care enthusiast, technology integration specialist, and productivity coach. She has devoted her career to empowering professionals to provide high quality services utilizing the dental hygiene scope of practice as standard for care.
