Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease - Part 2 Presenter: LD Coaching Sponsor: VOCO America Thu  10/8/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/8/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway-inflammation-periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits.

Beyond Shape: Characterization and Texture in Direct Composite Veneers Presenter: Dr. Drew Ballard Sponsor: Tokuyama Dental America Mon  10/12/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Mon  10/12/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Creating a beautiful direct composite veneer is about more than achieving the right shape and shade. The details that ultimately make a restoration feel natural are often found in the final stages: surface texture, characterization, anatomy, light reflection, and the subtle imperfections that allow the dentistry to blend seamlessly with the surrounding dentition. In this CE webinar, Dr. Drew Ballard will share his approach to characterization and texture in direct composite resin veneers, demonstrating how he takes a restoration from simply well-shaped to natural and lifelike.

Maximizing Dental Suction and Safety: A New Approach to Amalgam Separation Presenter: Dr. Marie Fluent Sponsor: Air Techniques Tue  10/13/26    8:30 PM ET    5:30 PM PT Wed  10/14/26    0:30 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

This one-hour CE webinar introduces a revolutionary, filter-free amalgam separation system designed to operate independently of your central vacuum. Participants will explore how bypassing the central vacuum optimizes aerosol capture and maintains peak suction performance without clogging from prophylaxis paste. The webinar highlights critical infection control advantages, including the reduction of saliva, blood, and contaminated aerosols at the clinical site, and enhances operator visualization and patient comfort. Additionally, attendees will learn how this technology lowers amalgam recycling costs and prevents toxic waste from entering municipal water systems and supports environmental sustainability.

Similar But Not the Same: Cementation Considerations and Techniques for Zirconia vs Lithium Disilicate Crowns Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz Sponsor: Bisco CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

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.
