This CE webinar explores the evolution of dentistry from a reactive, treatment-focused model to a proactive, patient-centered approach. Emphasizing minimally invasive and non-invasive dentistry, it highlights the importance of prevention, early intervention, and long-term health outcomes. Participants will gain insight into how oral health is intrinsically linked to systemic health and overall well-being. The session will also address the importance of viewing patients holistically-considering their medical history, lifestyle, behaviors, and individual risk factors-to deliver personalized, evidence-based care. By focusing on the "patient promise," this webinar underscores the ethical and professional responsibility to empower patients, foster trust, and promote sustainable oral health through education, prevention, and collaboration.

Local anesthesia remains one of the most important advances in the history of dentistry, yet clinicians continue to face challenges related to injection discomfort, bitter taste, delayed onset, inadequate anesthesia, lingering numbness, and patient anxiety. This CE webinar will review the fascinating evolution of local anesthetic agents from the earliest use of cocaine to the introduction of lidocaine and today's expanding armamentarium of anesthetic solutions. Participants will explore the pharmacology, safety profiles, and clinical applications of commonly used local anesthetics and vasoconstrictors, while examining evidence-based strategies to improve patient outcomes. Special emphasis will be placed on innovations such as anesthetic buffering, flavor-masked formulations, and practical approaches to enhancing the overall patient experience.

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. Dental hygienists will gain practical tools for recognizing airway-related red flags, implementing simple screening strategies within their scope, communicating findings confidently with patients, and integrating prevention-based periodontal care models that support long-term stability.

Bonding procedures that perform reliably in permanent teeth can be less predictable when applied to primary teeth. Many clinicians experience frustrations such as early sealant loss, marginal breakdown of pediatric restorations, and bonding failures that seem difficult to explain. Differences in enamel structure, dentin composition, and the clinical conditions commonly encountered in pediatric dentistry create unique challenges for achieving durable adhesion. As a result, clinicians often face issues such as reduced sealant retention, restoration failure, and sensitivity to moisture contamination during pediatric bonding procedures.
This CE webinar examines the structural and chemical differences between primary and permanent teeth and how those differences influence adhesive performance. Participants will review the science behind enamel etching, dentin bonding, and hybrid layer formation in primary teeth, along with practical strategies to improve bond reliability in everyday pediatric practice. The webinar will also explore common causes of bonding failure and practical techniques that help clinicians achieve more consistent outcomes. Real-world protocols will be discussed for managing moisture contamination, optimizing etch patterns, and selecting adhesive materials that support reliable bonding in young patients. Attendees will gain practical insights that can improve restoration longevity, enhance sealant retention, and reduce clinical frustration when bonding to primary teeth.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends an oral health exam after eruption of the first tooth or by one year of age. The erupting teeth, however, are not the only structures for examination in children and adolescents. Multiple anomalies and pathologies can arise in the oral cavities of our young patients. This CE webinar will provide an overview of anomalies/pathologies that may present in the oral cavity of young patients through adolescence, presented in a fun and engaging manner. Cases will be presented, encouraging audience participation to arrive at a differential diagnosis for each case. The importance of interdisciplinary care among healthcare providers will also be stressed.
As adhesives and cements continue to evolve, change, and improve, it becomes more difficult for restorative dentists to keep up with the latest advances. With increasingly higher patient expectations for long term clinical success, it is important that dentists have an understanding of these materials in order to make sound decisions on what to use when and why. This CE webinar will discuss the different generations of adhesives and categories of cements including those with bioactive properties. Clinical cases will be shown to demonstrate the use of these adhesives and cements including the proper protocols that must be followed.

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.

For decades, dentists have been trained to believe that different clinical situations demand different composite materials—one for strength in the posterior, another for esthetics in the anterior, and often several more just to manage shade. But today, material science is challenging that long-held mindset. In this episode, we’re taking a hard look at whether we’ve truly entered the era of the universal composite—a single material that does it all. Our guest is Dr. Sam Simos, a general dentist for over 30 years practicing outside of Chicago Illinois. He is a well-respected speaker, clinician and product evaluator.

Whether due to insufficient bone, medical contraindications, financial constraints, or patient preferences, single-tooth implants aren’t the solution for every case. That’s where fiber-reinforced bridges come in. To tell us all about the wonders of fiber-reinforced bridges is our guest, Dr. Marvin Chacon. With over 15 years of clinical dentistry experience, he obtained his Master's in Aesthetic Dentistry from King's College London in 2022. As a clinical trainer and speaker, he focuses on modern dental materials and innovative techniques under the "minimum Intervention" approach.
