Biomechanics and the 7-Minute Crown Prep!
Presenter: Dr. Jennifer Derse CE Supporter: VOCO America
If we can get abs in 7 minutes why can't we beat that time for a crown prep!? Our patients love us for the relationships we build with them, not for our crown margins. But what if we can deliver precise and EFFICIENT crown preps, conserve tooth structure, and give them a restoration that can last decades? Ultimately, they will love that too!

Aesthetic Approach for Full Arch Digital Workflow
Presenter: Dr. Aleksandra Polczynski CE Supporter: GC America
This comprehensive CE webinar is designed for clinicians and dental technicians looking to enhance their skills in full arch digital workflows. Also, covering the art of characterizing full-arch provisional restorations using light-cured stains. Aesthetic excellence is crucial in modern dentistry, and the ability to create natural and lifelike restorations is in high demand. This webinar will discuss how immediate full-arch rehabilitation has been revolutionized by digital workflows. Through this webinar, participants will learn to master the techniques required to achieve beautiful, patient-ready restorations.

In this CE webinar, we will review the current options for "fast-paced" porcelain blocks and how they can be implemented into an office protocol. With the ability to save time, these options will increase revenues in the office on everyday procedures.
A vast majority of the indirect restorations place in the dental practice currently are either fabricated from zirconia or lithium disilicate. The popularity of these materials is due to their excellent esthetics, durability and can be fabricated at a reasonable fee. But these materials are different and a significant factor in the clinical longevity of these materials is following correct clinical protocol at delivery and an understanding of the what the best choices of cement materials that are currently available. This CE webinar will discuss the appropriate protocol for the pretreatment of these two materials to maximize the retention of each type of restoration. Additionally, the webinar will discuss the different categories of dental cements currently available and which cements are better choices for each type of material and the clinical situation presented.
Bonded indirect restorations on teeth and implants have many applications in esthetic dentistry. This CE webinar presents strategies for analog and digital workflows, CAD-CAM, and adhesive technologies designed to offer the best outcomes.
Adding a 9.3-micron CO2 laser to your digital workflow allows you to streamline existing procedures and expand to new procedures, elevating your practice efficiencies and clinical effectiveness. This versatile all-tissue laser minimizes procedural bleeding, sutures, and post-operative pain, enabling you to add higher-revenue procedures, such as gingivectomies, frenectomies, flapless crown lengthening and more. In this CE webinar, Dr. Jose Marcano will discuss how using the 9.3-micron CO2 laser, in combination with surrounding digital technologies like CAD/CAM and scanners, leads to higher patient satisfaction and a higher level of care.
The popularity of zirconia has exploded in the dental space over the last couple of years but not all zirconias are the same. This CE webinar will focus on the different types of zirconia and explain the pros and cons of each. Additionally, it will explore same day workflows with zirconia crowns, starting with crown prep design and ending with different cementing and bonding protocols.
There is a lot of confusion regarding how to connect a zirconia restoration to a tooth. Some of the concepts that will be covered are how do you clean or decontaminate the zirconia to what type of cement to use, and can you actually bond to zirconia? This CE webinar will eliminate confusion of how to best deliver a zirconia restoration with various types of materials and preparation designs so that you can remove all of your questions and concerns so that you can become confident with your materials and techniques.
Full arch cases are among the most challenging things we do as dentists whether they are implant cases or crown and bridge cases. There are so many factors that must be taken into account to achieve consistently ideal outcomes and it can be very difficult to control many of those factors using a traditional analog approach. A digital approach on the other hand, gives us the opportunity to incorporate so much more information reducing the chances of errors. The aim of this CE webinar is to show a fully digital approach that incorporates intraoral scanning, CBCT, facial scanning, photogrammetry, and 3D printing to achieve better results in less time than an analog approach.
Join Dr. Matt Nejad in this one-hour CE webinar as he explores the transformative impact of Digital and CAD/CAM technology in biomimetic dentistry. This webinar will delve into the significant advantages that digital dentistry and CAD/CAM offer, particularly in achieving precise, predictable, and natural-looking restorations that mimic natural tooth structure. Participants will gain insight into the latest recommended materials and their applications, streamlined workflows for enhanced practice efficiency, and practical tips on integrating these technologies into daily dental practice. The webinar will feature case presentations that highlight innovative approaches and improvements in restorative workflows. Whether you are looking to refine your skills or integrate new techniques, this webinar will provide valuable knowledge and practical solutions for going digital with advancing your biomimetic dentistry.
Please join us for an informative lecture focusing on adhesive dentistry, specifically comparing e.max and zirconia materials. This CE webinar will cover preparation protocols tailored to each material, emphasizing their distinct properties and their impact on clinical outcomes. Dr. Alex Vasserman will provide practical insights into adhesive protocols, offering guidance on achieving optimal bond strength and durability in restorative treatments. Attendees will gain valuable knowledge for selecting appropriate materials and techniques to enhance the success of their dental procedures.
Providing same day dentistry is rapidly becoming the standard of care and, to be honest, it helps achieve a high level of predictability and profitability in private practice. Understanding the diversity in scanners and scanning techniques, material choices and digital workflow can still be quite challenging even for the more experienced digital dentist. More importantly, clinicians need to understand how to unlock the power of same day dentistry to increase their profitability while decreasing their chair time requirements and unpredictability of deliverables ultimately improving their return on investment. This CE webinar will share practical information of how same day dentistry plays an integral part in a practice and its best uses of application. Discussion will be considered for the restorative workflow and material selections.
