Preparation Design for Optimum Esthetics Presenter: Dr. George Kirtley CE Supporter: AdDent Release Date: 1/18/24 Expiration Date: 1/18/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Proper preparation design is essential in optimizing esthetic case outcome. Too often over reduction of the dentition results from lack of understanding that each case is unique and has to be prepared as such. Arch length redundancy (excess space/diastemas) , arch length inadequacy (crowding) are uniquely different than an ideal alignment case and have to be prepared accordingly. This CE webinar will address the variations and techniques in treating each of these cases.

The Heat Should Be On or Why Some Like It Warm Presenter: Dr. John Comisi CE Supporter: AdDent Release Date: 7/26/23 Expiration Date: 7/26/26 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Traditional instruction for composite application has always been “incremental” and with “cold” room temperature material. And yet, voids and gaps are often observed with the “cold” placement of these materials. Flowable composites and various placement techniques have been developed to help overcome this problem, especially in the deepest parts of our tooth preparations. However, recent evidence is calling this “tried and true” process into question. In this CE webinar, join us to review the “tradition” of composite placement as you and I were taught in dental school and as we investigate a processes that can simplify and improve your long term restorative process.

Ask the Dental Professors Presenter: Dr. Bob Lowe and Dr. John Comisi CE Supporter: AdDent Release Date: 5/9/22 Expiration Date: 5/9/28 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

In this 2-part live panel discussion, Drs. Robert A. Lowe and John C. Comisi from the Medical University of South Carolina, James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine in Charleston, SC discuss the use of heated composites in direct restorative dentistry. For many years, composite materials have been described as “packable” and “condensable”. Is this actually true? Since marginal adaptation and seal is an important component for long-term clinical success, traditional composite placement may not be the best way to achieve this goal. Heated composites may provide the clinician a more predictable way to deliver superior adaptation of the material to the cavity preparation without “condensation. If you are experiencing challenges with your composite restorations, this unique format “Q and A” format will allow you to ask the “professors” directly, as they discuss the clinical benefits and science behind the use of heated composites in restorative dentistry. This is a CE webinar series not to be missed!
