This transformative CE webinar empowers dental professionals to shift from reactive treatment to proactive, root-cause-driven care. By exploring the deep connections between oral health and systemic conditions, participants will gain the knowledge and tools to move beyond symptoms and into the “why” behind disease. Through real-world case studies, evidence-based strategies, and integrative thinking, this webinar challenges the traditional care model and equips clinicians to become advocates for total patient wellness. Participants will also learn how to educate and empower patients to take an active role in their own health journeys—fostering trust, engagement, and long-term compliance. Learn how to identify early indicators of systemic imbalance through oral signs, communicate the value of preventive care, and build a practice rooted in purpose, prevention, and whole-body health.

This isn’t your typical composite webinar. Dr. John Gammichia, a full-time private practice dentist, practices in the real world - where patients fracture cusps and can’t always afford a build-up and onlay or crown. So what’s the solution - extract the tooth? Or consider a beautifully executed 2-, 3-, 4-, or even 5-cusp composite restoration? We’ll begin with foundational Class I and Class II restorations, reviewing adhesion principles and current biomimetic concepts. From there, we’ll build your skills and confidence. How do you approach large restorations? Deep decay? Cases that are both extensive and deep? What about cracks? We’ll also address the practical concerns: What are the barriers to practicing this way? Do these restorations last? Can this approach be profitable? This CE webinar will be engaging and thought-provoking but expect to be pushed outside your comfort zone. Dr. Gammichia intends to challenge your thinking. By the end, you’ll be saying, "Holy Cow! I Didn't Know You Could do that with Composite.

Achieving compliant dental unit waterlines (DUWL) requires more than random maintenance; it requires a disciplined, repeatable strategy. This CE webinar provides a comprehensive breakdown of the proven Test, Shock, and Maintain protocol, designed to ensure your practice meets or exceeds CDC and EPA standards for water quality. Participants will learn why testing is the critical first step in any protocol—identifying hidden biofilm loads before they lead to failure. We will explore the technical nuances of shocking to clear existing contamination and the daily importance of maintaining lines to prevent regrowth. Integrating these steps into a unified system that simplifies compliance and protects patients ensures long-term clinical success.


Creating Natural Harmony with Modern Super-Composites
Presenter: Dr. Clarence Tam

The difference between Biomimetic/Natural and conventional dentistry is that biomimetic attempts to duplicate the missing tooth structure with restorative materials that match their natural physical properties. A key aspect of this is to dramatically reduce stress on the adhesive materials so they can provide long-term use and durability for direct and indirect restorations. If clinical techniques have high-stress then the bonds will be low, conversely, if the clinical techniques have low-stress then the bonds will be high and more likely to succeed. This CE webinar will discuss and illustrate low-stress, high-bond techniques for direct composites as well as techniques on blending and highlighting your restorations. Key clinical tips will be shown to increase the esthetics of direct composites.
