Improving Esthetics of Direct Resin Posterior Restorations with a Single Shade Composite that Blends Naturally Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Gregori Kurtzman CE Supporter: DMG America Thu  10/24/24    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/24/24    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Direct resin posterior restorations can be challenging to blend with the surrounding tooth structure for several reasons ranging from discoloration of underlying tooth structure that can result when replacing an old amalgam that stained the dentin, teeth discolored due to tetracycline or other things related to when the tooth developed, tooth shades that do not fit standard Vita shades, to enamel and dentin that varies in shade on the tooth. Luckily, advances in restorative composite materials have allowed development of single shade resin materials for direct restorations, offering a simpler process using fewer materials to achieve excellent aesthetics that blends with the surrounding tooth. In this CE webinar, the benefits of using a universal shade composite to simplify direct resin restorations for use for Class I and II restorations, Class V restorations and core buildups will be discussed.

Innovative Biomimetic Approaches to Injectable Composite Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Nader Yermian CE Supporter: GC America Thu  1/9/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Fri  1/10/25    0:00 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Composite resin injectables are highly versatile materials that can be used in numerous scenarios to enhance cosmetic dental practices in a minimally invasive manner, while also facilitating everyday general dentistry. Mastery of composite dentistry, understanding proper adhesive protocols, and establishing effective isolation techniques are crucial steps toward gaining confidence in the functional outcomes of these restorations. In this CE webinar, our goal is to educate participants on how to confidently place predictable composite injectable restorations in both the esthetic zone and posterior teeth. We will cover various case types, including the increasingly popular fiber injectable composites used for build-up procedures. Additionally, we will provide an overview of the cementation protocols for indirect porcelain restorations using injectable materials. ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )

Fibre-Reinforced Direct Bridges: New Techniques for Success Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Marvin Chacon CE Supporter: VOCO America Thu  1/16/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Fri  1/17/25    0:00 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Fibre-reinforced direct bridges (FRDB’s) have shown good performance in clinical applications, capable of overcoming functional masticatory loading with a more biomimetic behavior than rigid metallic or full ceramic prostheses. Its retention relies on adhesive capacity which allows a lower tooth structure removal than conventional alternatives, as minimal or no sound tooth structure preparation is needed on the abutment.

Adhesive Dentistry - What, Why, and How Presenter: Dr. Todd Snyder CE Supporter: Bisco Release Date: 9/26/24 Expiration Date: 9/26/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

There is a concept in dentistry that somehow adhesion is better and yet we see amalgams and crowns, held on by zinc phosphate cement, are still working in patients mouths 40+ years later but we see failure rates and replacements of various adhesive dentistry in 5-10 years. Where techniques use to be more simplistic with less steps and basic fundamentals we achieved success, and now we throw out many of those concepts and replace them with adhesion, we expect to find longevity. Are you seeing longevity or are you seeing more sensitivity, problems, failures or costly redos? This CE webinar is a look at where we are at with modern adhesion and what we believe we know. The goal is to give you some systems, tools and thoughts to consider to help you and your patients to have better longevity and success in the restorative dentistry you provide.

Bonding for Cosmetic Success Presenter: Dr. Devin McClintock CE Supporter: Bisco Release Date: 8/22/24 Expiration Date: 8/22/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Advancements in technology and materials have shifted the field of dentistry. As a result, providers opt for more conservative restorative options for enhanced smile esthetics. Additive and minimally invasive restorations rely on chemical adhesion over mechanical retention with both their direct and indirect restorations. The road to reliability in adhesive dentistry is paved through consistency and reliance on adhering to science. Developing systems and protocols and sticking to them ensures long term stability with cosmetic restorations, which in turn results in happy patients with reliable outcomes. But how does one develop the proper systems and protocols? In this CE webinar, providers will learn how to simplify yet optimize their isolation techniques and bonding protocols to achieve more predictable long-term success with both their direct and indirect restorative outcomes.

Importance of Silver Diamine Fluoride in the Restorative Process Presenter: Dr. Analia Veitz-Keenan CE Supporter: Centrix Release Date: 6/17/24 Expiration Date: 6/17/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Many clinicians believe that once a carious lesion is treated with silver diamine fluoride, restorative treatment is no longer necessary. The truth is, SDF does not restore the form and function of the tooth, therefore, in most cases, the restoration is still needed. It is important for clinicians to understand the benefits of incorporating SDF as a standard part of the restorative process for all patients. SDF buys time, preserves healthy tooth structure, and provides you and your patients with more flexible treatment options. During this CE webinar, we will present specific case examples to show the value SDF adds to restorative care.
