Online Dental CE

Historically, dental materials have been designed to be passive. They are considered successful if they do not interact with or harm the surrounding tissue. Thus, these materials are deemed to be biocompatible. In recent years, with the development of bioactive materials with impressive capabilities, this has started to change. A shift in thinking and a desire to do better for our patients has given rise to the era of bioactive dental materials. Bioactive materials are by design, interactive with a patient’s tooth structure and help to stimulate and mimic the remineralization process that takes place in nature. This CE webinar will review the science behind bioactive dental materials as well as practical uses for bioactive dental materials in everyday practice. (read more)

In this CE webinar, we will discuss the features and benefits of a unique intra-oral scanning system along with materials selection, tissue management techniques, and cementation protocols. The complete digital workflow will be shown to make intergration into everyday practice simple and seamless. (read more)

Patients will constantly ask their orthodontist, “how can I get rid of those white spots?!” They do not want drilling and filling, just something simple that won’t hurt! Resin infiltration has become a great treatment option for patients who wish to address their aesthetic concerns. With orthodontists and dentists on the same page as to how to treat white spots, patients can receive the best care possible. In this CE webinar, we’ll review the protocol for treatment, including bleaching/whitening recommendations, and how incorporating an in-house digital bleach tray workflow can help optimize the process from start to finish.

While many dental practices have not yet embraced new technology, it’s no secret that dentistry is trending towards digital when it comes to more efficient workflows and treatment for patients. For practitioners considering an easy, seamless way to make the transition, intraoral scanning is often a great place to start. In this CE webinar, join Dr. Tony Mennito, a general practitioner, educator, international lecturer and published author, for a look at his journey with intraoral scanning and how it has transformed the way he performs in general practice. Dr. Mennito will focus on three intraoral scanning-based workflows — digital wax-ups, implant planning and clear aligner and occlusal splint therapy — and discuss how intraoral scanning aided in the diagnostics and treatment planning process.
