Diagnosis and Infiltration of Smooth Surface Enamel Defects
Presenter: Dr. Ali Salehi CE Supporter: DMG America
This CE webinar explores the diagnosis and minimally invasive management of smooth surface enamel defects, integrating both contemporary diagnostic tools and conservative therapeutic strategies. It addresses the different types of enamel lesions based on their topography and etiology—ranging from initial carious demineralizations to developmental defects such as hypoplasia, fluorosis, and hypomineralization—highlighting how these variations influence clinical decision-making. A key concept discussed is the optical nature of white spot lesions. Early enamel demineralization creates subsurface porosities without surface cavitation, leading to light scattering and the characteristic opaque appearance. These lesions are not due to pigmentation but rather to changes in light diffraction within the enamel structure. The webinar also covers advanced diagnostic approaches, including the benefits of transillumination to better assess lesion depth and extension, improving accuracy in treatment indication. Pre-treatment considerations such as bleaching are presented as a way to harmonize the overall tooth shade and enhance the final esthetic outcome. Central to the discussion is the principle of erosion-infiltration, initially developed for early proximal carious lesions but now widely extended to smooth surface defects. The technique relies on modifying the enamel’s optical properties by infiltrating its porosities with a low-viscosity resin whose refractive index closely matches that of healthy enamel, allowing light to pass through more uniformly and restoring translucency.

Dental Practice Profitability: The Smart Way to Increase ROI
Presenter: Dr. Scott Kalniz CE Supporter: DENTALEZ
Improving dental practice profitability rarely comes down to a single piece of equipment. It depends on how well the systems in a practice work together, from reliable utility equipment to efficient operatories and tools that stay in service. In most practices, profitability is closely tied to four operational factors: equipment uptime, operatory efficiency, maintenance speed, and equipment longevity.
Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be better positioned to maintain consistent patient flow and protect their production schedules.

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.
This CE webinar will provide oral health care providers with information regarding oral cancer. Potentially malignant conditions, particularly leukoplakia, will be discussed.
