Early intervention for tethered oral tissues (TOTs) can play a significant role in improving a child’s overall health and development. In this CE webinar, Dr. Jared Poplin will examine common conditions associated with tongue-ties and lip-ties, including challenges with breastfeeding, speech development, and oral health. The webinar will also highlight how the 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser supports precise, efficient frenectomy procedures with minimal bleeding, reduced post-operative discomfort, and remarkably rapid healing.

This CE webinar explores the diagnosis and minimally invasive management of smooth surface enamel defects, integrating both contemporary diagnostic tools and conservative therapeutic strategies. It addresses the different types of enamel lesions based on their topography and etiology—ranging from initial carious demineralizations to developmental defects such as hypoplasia, fluorosis, and hypomineralization—highlighting how these variations influence clinical decision-making. A key concept discussed is the optical nature of white spot lesions. Early enamel demineralization creates subsurface porosities without surface cavitation, leading to light scattering and the characteristic opaque appearance. These lesions are not due to pigmentation but rather to changes in light diffraction within the enamel structure. The webinar also covers advanced diagnostic approaches, including the benefits of transillumination to better assess lesion depth and extension, improving accuracy in treatment indication. Pre-treatment considerations such as bleaching are presented as a way to harmonize the overall tooth shade and enhance the final esthetic outcome. Central to the discussion is the principle of erosion-infiltration, initially developed for early proximal carious lesions but now widely extended to smooth surface defects. The technique relies on modifying the enamel’s optical properties by infiltrating its porosities with a low-viscosity resin whose refractive index closely matches that of healthy enamel, allowing light to pass through more uniformly and restoring translucency.

Extracted teeth represent a biologically compatible grafting material that is often overlooked in clinical practice. This CE webinar explores the use of autologous dentin as a bone graft, highlighting its biologic properties, including inherent growth factors and structural similarity to bone. The webinar will review clinical applications, with particular attention to compromised patients where enhanced healing and integration are critical. Attendees will also be introduced to practical workflows that allow chair side processing of extracted teeth into graft material, supporting efficient and predictable regenerative outcomes.

Bacterial contamination of dental unit water lines is a growing liability concern for all dental offices. Bacteria that may be present include Legionella, Pseudomonas and Non-tuberculosis Mycobacteria. Without proper protocols, it is possible for dental unit water bacteria levels to be as much as 1000 times what is deemed acceptable by the CDC. This CE webinar, presented by Compliance Training Partners, highlights Centers for Disease control guidelines for dental unit water and provides solutions for maintaining a safe and healthy environment for both patients and staff. The webinar also reviews proper testing protocol and describes how to correct a dental unit water system that contains unacceptable levels of bacteria.

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.

More and more, dental hygienists are expected to select the most accurate CDT procedure codes for the medically necessary treatment they provide to patients. Since the ADA’s Code Maintenance Committee meets yearly, those procedures and their descriptors can either be amended, deleted, or stay the same. The CE webinar will discuss the changes (or not) and additions/deletions which came on January 1, 2025. Some of the new and updated dental procedure codes will include revisions and additions to implant maintenance procedures, long requested by hygienists. In addition, more and more caries management products are being developed and how to know which code is the most appropriate. And what procedure code for desiccation therapy? A total of 10 new codes, 8 revised codes and 2 deleted codes will be presented.
Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate are the 2 most popular current materials for crowns in the US. Although they can looks very similar with their excellent esthetic properties, the materials themselves require different pre-cementation protocols and materials. Understanding the proper way to treat each material before final cementation can effect the long term clinical performance. Additionally, because of the difference in the strength of each material there can be several "best" choices of cements that can be used. This CE webinar is created to discuss and demonstrate the materials, techniques and protocols specific to each material.
This CE webinar will delve into the benefits of choosing alignment therapy prior to restorative treatment. It will explain in detail the different types and the purpose of attachments in clear aligner therapy, as well as smile architect and successful clincheck treatment planning. The instructor will then give clinical tips for restorative treatment after alignment therapy has been completed.

As individuals, each of us have a unique set of oral health needs. These needs are influenced by a myriad of factors including our age, medical history, dental history, lifestyle, and genetics. And because of this, oral health assessments are pivotal in both diagnosing existing issues and in crafting preventative strategies to maintain long-term oral health. To talk about the oral health assessment in more depth and give us some super practical recommendations is our guest Kerry Lepicek. Kerry over 20 years of clinical experience as a registered dental hygienist and continues to work part-time in a clinical setting. She is an international speaker, a published author. and serves on the Advisory Board of the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health.

We'll be addressing a wide range of patients that have lots of saliva, an infinite source of blood, all stored in their gingiva, a gag reflex that's activated as soon as you tell them what you're about to do, and tongues that are more muscular and stronger than my biceps. So lets get started with a dentist that thinks out of the box and is always looking for a better and faster way to do things. Dr. Ankur Gupta is our guest, a general dentist from North Ridgeville, OH.
