Infection control in the dental operatory often focuses on major protocols, yet many risks arise from small, routine oversights that occur during everyday procedures. These seemingly minor gaps such as improper handling of materials, inconsistent surface asepsis, and lapses in workflow can significantly increase the potential for cross-contamination and compromise both patient and provider safety.
This one-hour CE webinar will highlight common infection control missteps observed in clinical settings and provide practical, compliant strategies to reduce risk. Special attention will be given to the handling and management of chairside materials, including restorative products, and how proper utilization can support safer clinical workflows. Participants will leave with actionable techniques to strengthen infection control practices, improve compliance with OSHA and CDC guidelines, and create a more consistent culture of safety within the operatory.

Mastering the complexities of periodontal disease requires a seamless bridge between diagnostic precision and patient-centered execution. This case-based CE webinar is designed to demystify the AAP Periodontal Classification System, transforming it from a diagnostic checklist into a powerful framework for clinical decision-making.
Participants will engage in the practical application of staging and grading, learning how to translate clinical findings directly into highly customized, evidence-based treatment plans. Beyond the probe depths, we will explore the latest modalities in non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT), advanced biofilm management strategies, and the science behind individualized homecare recommendations.
Through guided, interactive case walkthroughs, you will apply these concepts to real-world clinical scenarios, sharpening your diagnostic ability and treatment confidence. Finally, because the best treatment plan only works if the patient partners with you, the course concludes with actionable Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques. You will leave equipped to elevate your patient communication, break down barriers to treatment acceptance, and inspire long-term homecare compliance.

Dental unit waterlines remain one of the most overlooked infection prevention challenges in dentistry. While biofilm forms naturally in every dental waterline system, inadequate waterline management can compromise patient safety, increase regulatory risk, and expose practices to unnecessary liability. Presented by the President of the Georgia Board of Dentistry, who championed the development of Georgia’s Dental Unit Waterline Rule, this CE webinar provides practical, evidence-based guidance for building a comprehensive waterline management program that supports long-term compliance and consistent clinical outcomes. Participants will gain insight into emerging regulatory expectations, proven strategies for sustainable waterline safety, and the key elements of a successful program that protects patients while reducing risk. Whether building a new program or strengthening an existing one, attendees will leave with practical insights to help create a lasting culture of safe dental water.

On the surface, you might wonder what dentistry and aviation have in common. Dr. Rene Ghotanian, who is both an implantologist and certified pilot, will take you from pre-flight checklists to successful case outcomes which demonstrate how these fields share parallels in rigorous safety protocols, advanced technological adoption for precision and improved patient outcomes, and a focus on continuous innovation to enhance patient experience and treatment effectiveness.
Restorative dentistry often delivers the best results when teeth are ideally positioned before treatment begins. This 1-hour CE webinar explores how clear aligner therapy can be used strategically to create a foundation for long-lasting, esthetic, and functional restorative outcomes. Participants will learn how to identify cases where minor tooth movement simplifies restorative procedures, reduces invasiveness, and enhances patient satisfaction. The webinar will cover treatment planning principles, sequencing aligners with restorative phases, and effective patient communication to encourage acceptance of pre-restorative orthodontics. Through case examples, clinicians will gain practical skills to integrate aligner therapy seamlessly into everyday restorative care.
Composite dentistry has come a long way - from macrofills to nanofills to today’s nanohybrids and universal systems that aim to combine strength, esthetics, and efficiency. In this CE webinar, Dr. Luis Abrahante, DMD, shares his clinical perspective on the evolution of restorative materials and how they’ve shaped the modern restorative workflow. Attendees will explore foundational concepts such as C-Factor, shrinkage stress, and how advancements in filler technology and resin matrix design are influencing both technique and long-term outcomes.
This webinar will provide a practical, high-yield breakdown of what clinicians should consider when selecting a universal composite - from handling to polish retention to marginal integrity - and how newer materials are helping streamline procedures while elevating results. Whether layering an anterior case or restoring a posterior load-bearing tooth, you'll gain strategies that are grounded in everyday dentistry and adaptable across different case types.
