Today's Webinar

Life Behind Bars: Breaking Out of Manufacturing Jargon and Back into the World of Clinical Relevancy Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Ron Kaminer and Mr. Gregor Connell CE Supporter: VOCO America Wed  8/10/22    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  8/10/22    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Dental material manufacturers tend to promote their respective materials using combinations of literature and various studies. Literature extols the physical properties of various materials, often using bar graph data to compare one competitor to another. The question is: what is the true importance of that “data” to “my dentistry?”

This CE webinar will discuss the clinical significance of those bar graphs. Life behind bars will take the listener into the world of material design and testing and attempt to connect the data to where it matters - the clinical application of the material. Mr. Connell will speak to the testing parameters and value of the data presented, while Dr. Ron Kaminer will discuss the clinical implications of the data being discussed.

Size and Shape Matter in Operative Dentistry Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Martin Jablow CE Supporter: Microcopy Tue  8/16/22    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Tue  8/16/22    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Burs are not a one size fits all type of thing. Burs are the interface to operative dentistry. Selection of the proper bur can make your operative dentistry more efficient and less traumatic to the patient. Thinking about what the bur needs to do to the tooth before starting the procedure will make your bur selection easier and dentistry better. This CE webinar will discuss why bur selection is important and try and get you out of your bur comfort zone. ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )

Preservational Prosthetic Strategies: Posterior Focus Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Clarence Tam CE Supporter: VOCO America Thu  9/1/22    7:30 PM ET    4:30 PM PT Thu  9/1/22    11:30 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Posterior restoration success has much to do with the principles in primary anatomy that are often focused on and restricted to only anterior teeth. The art of layering posterior composites is not only a functional art, it reflects our desire to mimic nature in esthetics also in our practice of Bio-Emulation. Conversely, there are anatomical features of anterior teeth that are often neglected, just because they are out of direct frontal sight. When are teeth "too weak" for some restorative materials? How does one dial in the occlusion to maximize success using modern direct materials some never thought possible to use in extensive applications? How can we humanely and successfully place large restorations with a conservative slant in youngsters with massive structural deficits? What are the keys to success in posterior bonding besides esthetic? How do we minimize post-operative sensitivity and marginal leakage? How do we maximize shear bond strengths to the substrate, much of which is "unpredictable" dentin? We will review curing strategies for best long-term clinical success.
