After veneer preparation, success depends on creating aesthetic, functional temporaries and executing a predictable cementation workflow. This CE webinar provides a streamlined, step-by-step approach to both phases. Participants will learn how to fabricate provisional veneers that support tissue healing, function, and aesthetics, while serving as a guide for final restorations. The webinar also outlines an efficient, evidence-based cementation process, including material selection, surface treatment, isolation, try-in, and adhesive bonding techniques. Key materials, clinical techniques, and common pitfalls will be discussed to help improve efficiency, consistency, and long-term outcomes.

This CE webinar is designed to provide clinicians with practical, experience-based guidance for achieving predictable and esthetic posterior composite restorations. Drawing from over 25 years of clinical practice, the lecture will highlight best practices that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and long-term success. Participants will gain insight into the essential tools and materials required for optimal outcomes, as well as how to avoid common and preventable diagnostic errors that can compromise treatment. The webinar will also focus on decision-making strategies for selecting the appropriate composite materials based on tooth location and functional demands. Attendees will learn proper tooth preparation techniques for esthetic restorations and will be introduced to streamlined methods and instrumentation that allow for faster, easier procedures while maintaining a natural appearance. Clinical video demonstrations of Class II and Class V composite restorations will further reinforce these concepts and provide real-world application.

Improving dental practice profitability rarely comes down to a single piece of equipment. It depends on how well the systems in a practice work together, from reliable utility equipment to efficient operatories and tools that stay in service. In most practices, profitability is closely tied to four operational factors: equipment uptime, operatory efficiency, maintenance speed, and equipment longevity. Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be better positioned to maintain consistent patient flow and protect their production schedules.


Hidden Diseases Associated with Sickle Cell Disease and the Sickle Cell Trait: Impacts on Oral Health
Presenter: Linda Chandler-Jacobs, BS, RDH

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and the Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) extend beyond hematologic impact. This disease is responsible for a lot of hidden systemic conditions that influence oral tissue, dental development, and secondary infections that could result in a vaso-occlusive crises. This CE webinar will explore the connections between SCD/SCT and dental pathology. We will also cover chronic hypoxia, inflammation, vascular compromise, and their effects on the dentition. Participates will learn oral indicators of systemic disease, dental management strategies, and evidence based approaches using VOCO dental products.

My Gums Only Bleed When You Poke Me: Helping Patients Take Control of Their Health
Presenter: Amanda Hill, RDH
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
All too often, clinicians are stuck in the same sound loop when trying to help our patients take ownership of their disease. And yet, they come back with the same issues appointment after appointment. However, by empowering patients to take control, we can see a significant positive shift in their health management. In this CE webinar, attendees will delve into the common barriers that hinder patient collaboration and discover practical strategies to overcome these challenges. They will also learn how to implement co-diagnosis, enabling patients to actively participate in their own assessment and treatment planning. By integrating these approaches, healthcare providers can enhance patient compliance and outcomes. Understanding the patient's perspective and motivations will lead to more effective communication, greater patient satisfaction, and a more personalized approach to care.

Modern dentistry is drowning in material options - flowables, bulk-fills, esthetics-first composites, universal systems, and more. For many practices, this leads to bloated inventories, training difficulties, and inconsistent outcomes across providers. In this fast-paced, practical CE webinar, we’ll explore how to cut through the noise, simplify your restorative system, and deliver efficient, predictable results using one streamlined material protocol. You’ll also be introduced to a next-generation composite platform designed to cover the full range of anterior and posterior restorations using just five cluster shades and 4mm increments, without compromising esthetics, handling, or long-term durability. Whether you’re leading a DSO or running a solo practice, this webinar will help you reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and standardize care.

Guest: Dr. Miles Cone
Dr. Miles Cone is a prosthodontist who shares how bringing a 3D printer into his practice has completely transformed the way he works—making things more efficient, productive, and yes, even more profitable. He talks about how this technology has opened the door to doing things differently, from quickly fabricating models and occlusal guards to whitening trays and provisionals—all in-house, and often the same day. He’ll also share what to look for when choosing a printer, and reveal his personal favorite and why. According to Dr. Cone, 3D printing isn’t just the future—it’s a total game-changer in how we practice dentistry today.

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Derse
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.
