Prevention - The Base for Good Oral Health and Restorative Success Reserve Seat Presenter: Timothy Bizga, D.D.S. CE Supporter: Centrix Mon  10/28/24    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Mon  10/28/24    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Restorative care is the core of dentistry. Dentists are proud of their work and the beautiful restorations they create; however, with high-risk patients it can feel like building a house on sand when the restoration ultimately fails due to secondary caries. Preventive care addresses the underlying cause (dental caries) and ultimately ensures a more predictable restorative outcome. In this webinar, I will discuss the importance of individualized preventive care – how it benefits the patient’s overall oral health, and in cases where the patient receives restorative treatment, extends the longevity of the restoration. I will further explain how prevention is not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Treatment should be tailored to the patient’s caries risk and should not be limited by age or insurance coverage.

I Can’t Take All This Science! Presenter: Dr. Brian Novy CE Supporter: GC America Release Date: 2/28/24 Expiration Date: 2/28/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Remineralization used to be as simple as "put some fluoride on it!" But is the array of products available today claiming “remineralization” pushing the limits of oral healthcare? In a clinical world of dry mouth and acidic beverages, perhaps we’re putting too much faith in an antiquated understanding of what happens on the surface of a tooth. The science of reversing demineralization can be summarized easily, but clinicians would be wise to realize it takes more than an electronegative anion to rebuild the strongest biological substance on earth. How far can we push chemistry before accepting biochemistry makes more sense, and what could go horribly wrong?
