From Overwhelm to Comfort: Creating Sensory-Friendly Dental Environments Reserve Seat Presenter: Jeannette Diaz-Olivera, DHSc, MPH, RDHAP, FADHA CE Supporter: GUM Thu  10/22/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/22/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Dental fear and anxiety are among the most common reasons patients delay or avoid oral healthcare. The dental environment is filled with sensory stimuli, including bright lights, unfamiliar sounds, smells, tastes, and touch sensations that can contribute to distress and discomfort. For individuals who are neurodivergent, have intellectual or developmental disabilities, have experienced trauma, or experience heightened anxiety, sensory processing differences may further impact their ability to tolerate dental treatment.

This CE webinar introduces dental professionals to the role of sensory processing in the patient experience. It explores evidence-based sensory adaptations that can reduce anxiety, improve cooperation, and support more positive dental visits. Participants will learn practical, low-cost strategies to create a more sensory-friendly clinical environment and enhance patient-centered care for individuals across the lifespan.

Oral Cancer Screening: It’s More Than Grasping the Tongue Reserve Seat Presenter: Susan Cotten, BSDH, RDH, OMT CE Supporter: VOCO America Tue  11/3/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  11/4/26    0:00 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Both dental hygienists and dentists play an important role in the early detection of oral cancer, yet there is a critical gap in screening protocols. After performing an oral cancer screening, patients often say, "No one has ever done that before." This CE webinar breaks down the components of a comprehensive visual and tactile, extraoral, and intraoral evaluation, and the signs and symptoms associated with oral and oropharyngeal cancer as an important component in screening. Using Susan’s instructional screening videos and case presentations, attendees will learn proper extraoral palpation, the importance of identifying lymphadenopathy, evaluation of the thyroid gland, and the oropharynx. ADA and ADHA oral cancer policies and coding will be reviewed.
A comprehensive oral cancer screening isn’t optional. Let’s close the gap together, elevate the standard of care in screening, calibrate dental professionals nationwide, and increase early detection. Attendees will leave inspired and with a renewed commitment to performing this life-saving evaluation – every patient, every visit. ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )

Cementation Conundrums: What to Use When for Strength and Reliability Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Joshua Austin CE Supporter: Solventum (formerly 3M Health Care) Mon  11/9/26    7:30 PM ET    4:30 PM PT Tue  11/10/26    0:30 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Zirconia or lithium disilicate? Retentive prep or short clinical crown? Bond it, or just cement it? With more restorative materials and more cement categories than ever, choosing what goes between the tooth and the restoration has become one of the most confusing decisions in everyday dentistry, and getting it wrong shows up later as debonds, sensitivity, and recurrent decay at the margin. In this CE webinar, Dr. Joshua Austin untangles the conundrum with a practical, evidence-based framework for matching the cement to the case. He will cover how restorative material, preparation design, and isolation drive the choice, along with the surface treatment, cleanup, and curing steps that determine whether a restoration lasts. He will also show how a simplified system built around a universal adhesive, a universal resin cement and a fluoride-releasing resin-modified glass ionomer can cover nearly every indirect case with less inventory and less room for error. Attendees will leave with a repeatable decision tree they can use the next morning. ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )

Non-Invasive Airway Remodeling - Er:YAG Laser Therapy for Treatment of Primary Snoring Presenter: Dr. Georgi Tomov CE Supporter: Light Instruments Release Date: 10/20/26 Expiration Date: 10/20/29 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Snoring is a widespread condition associated with vibration of the soft tissues of the upper airway, particularly the uvula and soft palate, during sleep. Traditional surgical interventions may involve significant morbidity, driving interest in minimally invasive and non-invasive alternatives. This CE webinar explores the clinical application of non-ablative 2940 nm Er:YAG laser therapy as an outpatient approach for the management of primary snoring. The procedure utilizes sub-ablative settings to deliver controlled thermal energy to the oral mucosa and underlying connective tissues. This targeted heating is intended to stimulate collagen remodeling and neocollagenesis, contributing to tightening of the soft palate and surrounding tissues and reducing their tendency to vibrate during sleep.

Zen and the Art of Provisionals: From Single Units to Veneers Presenter: Dr. Joshua Austin CE Supporter: Pulpdent Release Date: 10/6/26 Expiration Date: 10/6/29 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

We have all had the experience of a painful crown delivery appointment. The pain isn't referring to the patient's experience...it's referring to ours! As we grind on the interproximal contacts and the occlusal surfaces, we casually blame the laboratory: "They left it fat and high again!" Unfortunately, most of the time we need to turn our criticisms inward and recognize the provisional is most often the problem. It becomes an afterthought in our indirect restoration appointment, but it's incredibly important to the restorative process. Whether it be a single unit or 12 veneers, we need to be able to fabricate excellent provisionals. This CE webinar will discuss workflows to make the provisional process a breeze.
