Achieving effective and lasting local anesthesia is crucial for successful clinical practice. It allows the dental professional to perform dental procedures efficiently, enhance the patient experience, and improve overall outcomes. Buffering, which involves adding sodium bicarbonate to raise the pH of the anesthetic solution, can significantly improve anesthesia delivery. This CE webinar will explore why, when, and how clinicians should incorporate buffering, focusing on three key benefits: faster onset of anesthesia, reduced injection pain, and enhanced effectiveness.

Most current oral treatment modalities have inadequacies controlling the biofilm and pain management, including opioid drugs, does not always provide adequate pain relief, particularly after oral surgical procedures, and this has contributed to the current opioid epidemic. This CE webinar will discuss modern treatments and dressings that are available today to assist in addressing these significant challenges leading to improved outcomes with enhanced healing and reduction of post operative discomfort.
This CE webinar will focus on local anesthesia and update regarding armamentarium utilized for successful administration of local anesthesia with an introduction to anesthetic reversal and how it can be useful in every practice.
“I never had pain until you did that filling… now I probably need a root canal.” We’ve all heard this from our patients. Whether it’s right or wrong, these statements impact dentists’ confidence and reputations. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were materials to help us when a pulp exposure occurs? Or when we suspect the patient will have post-op sensitivity after placement of a deep direct restoration? This CE webinar discusses how to maintain pulp vitality in cases of deep caries and restorations. We will emphasize management of pulp exposures (direct pulp caps), deep restorations (indirect pulp caps), and how to select pulp capping materials. We will compare bioceramics against other pulp capping materials. Examples of pulp capping materials will be given, so that you can implement these techniques in your practice.
MIH is a type of enamel defect affecting first molars and incisors in permanent dentition. It is a worldwide problem and usually manifests in children under the age of 10 years old. This CE webinar will help dental professionals to recognize and diagnose MIH similarities and variations in pediatric patients vs. adult patients. It will also help to describe the multifactorial causes of MIH and finally the various treatment options dependent upon the severity of the anomaly of MIH.
Dental anesthetics and pain management are routine in every dental practice. However, delivering an effective and painless injection can some times be challenging, stressful, along with schedule changing. This CE webinar will review current anesthetic agents and offer common sense approaches to easily administering dental anesthetics for a successful outcome. Go beyond what you learned in school!
Caries management strategies are evolving and moving away from the typical treatment of “drilling and filling”. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) was introduced to the US market in 2015. This CE webinar will define and explain the technique called Silver Modified Atraumatic Technique (SMART) in which SDF is applied and immediately restored or sealed with different dental materials. The CE webinar will cover the main physical properties and advantages of the available dental materials and the role with the SMART technique. Clinical cases will be use to illustrate the technique.
This CE webinar will provide to the attendee with the most up-to-date information regarding the ITR, including indications, materials and outcomes. The CE webinar will use case-presentation as the learning and discussion format and will cover the entire spectrum of this technique with special emphasis in new materials available for the dentist.
The main goal in treating deep carious lesions in primary teeth is to maintain a healthy tooth structure and radicular bone to allow the primary tooth to serve in function until natural exfoliation. Treatment modalities that are currently used include indirect pulp therapy, direct pulp therapy, and the coronal pulpotomy. This CE webinar will cover treatment modalities for deep carious lesions in vital primary teeth, and the use of bioceramics to achieve clinical success
In this CE webinar, the participant will learn the following
• When to attempt vital pulp therapy and when not to
• Choosing a bioactive material for direct vital pulp capping
• What the research says about the various direct pulp capping materials
This CE webinar will provide a common sense approach to selecting and administering dental anesthetics. Key components such as how to reduce patients’ anxiety and calming strategies will be given to transform the clinical setting into a more welcoming environment. The psychology of pain will also be discussed along with techniques for hard-to-numb patients. Create more predictability in your anesthetic outcomes, reduce your stress, and allow patients to leave with a better feeling.
