Bonding to Primary Teeth: Why It’s Harder and How to Make It Work Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Ryan Cormack CE Supporter: Bisco Thu  4/23/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  4/23/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

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.

Whether caused by gum recession, bleaching, dentin exposure, or other factors, patients rely on dental professionals to provide effective relief. This CE webinar will focus on evidence-based strategies to prevent and manage dentinal hypersensitivity, equipping participants with the knowledge and tools to address this common concern.

The Equipment Upgrade That Has the Greatest Impact in a Dental Practice Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Ankur Gupta CE Supporter: EMS Dental Tue  6/23/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Tue  6/23/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

In a world of scanners, lasers, and 3D printers, why would a dentist invest in GBT for their hygiene department? Dentists will never be free of the temptation to purchase another toy. Constant innovation in technology regularly promises to make dentistry easier, more predictable, and highly satisfying for the patient. The problem is, most equipment upgrades are used, at best, once or twice a day. Guided Biofilm Therapy is the one investment in dentistry that can be used on every patient that comes in for hygiene, making their experience more pleasant, efficient, effective, and motivating.

Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease – Part 1 Reserve Seat Presenter: LD Coaching CE Supporter: VOCO America Thu  8/20/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  8/20/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway–inflammation–periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits. Dental hygienists will gain practical tools for recognizing airway-related red flags, implementing simple screening strategies within their scope, communicating findings confidently with patients, and integrating prevention-based periodontal care models that support long-term stability.

Chairside Challenges, Lifelong Smiles: Dental Care for the Aging Adult Presenter: Sonya Dunbar, RDH CE Supporter: VOCO America Release Date: 4/14/26 Expiration Date: 4/14/29 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Oral health for older adults is an increasingly significant challenge in dentistry today. As people age, their risk of developing caries, periodontal disease, and other oral health complications rises. This heightened risk is often exacerbated by systemic health conditions, polypharmacy, and decreased dexterity, which can impact daily hygiene practices. Unlike younger populations, older adults face unique barriers, including complex medical histories, cognitive decline, and notable changes in insurance coverage after retirement. These factors not only affect their access to dental care but also influence how treatments must be planned and delivered. This evidence-based CE webinar equips dental professionals with practical strategies to enhance the quality of care for older adults in dental office settings. Participants will learn to identify the specific caries risk factors associated with aging patients, apply preventive and minimally invasive management strategies, and adjust treatment protocols for medically fragile individuals. The webinar will also address the impact of changing insurance structures after retirement on access to care, as well as how dental teams can navigate these challenges to provide effective and patient-centered outcomes.

Advancing Prevention in the Era of Fluoride Hesitancy Presenter: Catherine Cabanzon, RDH CE Supporter: Centrix Release Date: 3/23/26 Expiration Date: 3/23/29 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

We’ve all seen the headlines – “Fluoride is Poison”, “Fluoride Decreases IQ”, “Fluoride is an Industrial Waste”. Apart from stirring up public discussion, this type of press may result in new challenges for practicing clinicians. Historically, the biggest push back to varnish was and still may be cost but how do you handle the health concerns a patient may have? As tough as these questions are, at least they mean there is room for discourse! As you know, some patients might outright refuse and not be open to conversation. In this CE webinar, we will explore how to overcome fluoride hesitancy among patients with practical recommendations you can implement into your everyday routine. We’ll review current, high-quality research that clearly demonstrates the safety and benefits of fluoride, while also sharing practical communication strategies to help you address patient concerns, rebuild trust, and continue advancing prevention in your practice. With the removal of systemic fluorides, the dental hygiene community is on the front line in caries prevention.

Tackling MIH and Trauma Lesions with Resin Infiltration Presenter: Dr. Jeanette MacLean CE Supporter: DMG America Release Date: 11/18/25 Expiration Date: 11/18/28 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Unsightly congenital enamel defects from molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and trauma can be troublesome for many patients. Historically, these blemishes have been treated with invasive and costly resin bondings and veneers. Dealing with enamel defects can prove particularly troublesome for young patients, which when left untreated, often become a source of embarrassment for the patient. This CE webinar will review tips and tricks to manage these enamel defects with resin infiltration. This noninvasive approach can improve or even completely reverse the appearance of congenital enamel defects while preserving tooth structure and repairing the patient’s natural enamel.

Advances in the Treatment of Highly Carious and Severely Hypoplastic Permanent Posterior Teeth Presenter: Dr. Joshua Solomon CE Supporter: SDI Release Date: 10/21/25 Expiration Date: 10/21/28 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

For many decades, the treatment options for highly carious and/or hypoplastic permanent posterior teeth have been either large amalgam buildups, multi-surface composites or stainless-steel crowns. Most pediatric dentists or general dentists that treat children and teens know that large amalgam or composite restorations will leak or fracture at a high rate. Thus, the highly unaesthetic stainless-steel crown was the chosen restorative option. Today, there are a wide range of treatment options including non-invasive, low-cost treatments such as SDF as well as self-cure, highly esthetic composite-based restorative materials that are incredibly easy to use. This CE webinar will focus on giving patients a wide range of treatment options from immediate, low cost to highly esthetic, long-lasting stainless-steel crown alternatives.
