From Screening to Biopsy to Reimbursement: A Step-by-Step Guide for General Practitioners
Presenter: Dr. Robert Convissar CE Supporter: Pierrel S.p.A.
According to the American Cancer Society, almost half a million cases of oral cancer are diagnosed worldwide each year. In the United States alone, there were over 58,000 cases of oral cancer, with over 12,000 deaths in 2024. Unlike other cancers, where the annual rate of the disease is decreasing, the rate of oral cancer is increasing at a rate of about 1% each year. Survivors often experience problems such as facial disfigurement, eating and speaking difficulties, and more. The key to survival and minimizing the effects of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy is to identify oral cancers at their earliest stages, before it spreads throughout the head and neck region or metastasizes throughout the body.

Pushing the Envelope: Direct and Indirect Posterior Solutions with Composite
Presenter: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe CE Supporter: VOCO America
The science and technology built into dental composite resins is impressive, but rarely do practitioners (or patients) realize how versatile our materials really can be. Direct placement is the most common approach for composite, but by relying on the material science within, predictable indirect composite restorations can also be life-like, strong and long lasting. Join the co-presenters in this CE webinar as they review cases from North and South America as they compare and contrast uses of composite resin in their daily practice.

Dental Hygiene Treatment Planning: New and Amended CDT Procedure Codes for 2025
Presenter: Kathy S. Forbes, RDH, BS CE Supporter: VOCO America
More and more, dental hygienists are expected to select the most accurate CDT procedure codes for the medically necessary treatment they provide to patients. Since the ADA’s Code Maintenance Committee meets yearly, those procedures and their descriptors can either be amended, deleted, or stay the same. The CE webinar will discuss the changes (or not) and additions/deletions which came on January 1, 2025. Some of the new and updated dental procedure codes will include revisions and additions to implant maintenance procedures, long requested by hygienists. In addition, more and more caries management products are being developed and how to know which code is the most appropriate. And what procedure code for desiccation therapy? A total of 10 new codes, 8 revised codes and 2 deleted codes will be presented.

When You Get Close to the Pulp, Don’t Let It Spoil Your Day
Presenter: Dr. Scott Coleman CE Supporter: Bisco
The most used materials in today’s general practice are burs, bonding agents, and composites for direct restorations. The evolution of this group of materials, in particular, is amazing. Today’s light cure resins are light years ahead of the materials that we thought were great 20 years ago. The evolution of materials includes base or lining materials when the proximity to the pulp requires some form of pulpal protection. Calcium has been proven to be a critical adjunct to the armamentarium of all general dentists performing routine decay excavation and tooth restoration. This CE webinar is designed for the busy dentist who wants to stay current with the available materials and concepts of efficient placement of tooth-colored restorations. We will discuss what matters most in pulpal protection material selection, depending upon location and occlusal load put on the restoration. Reduction and elimination of post-operative sensitivity will be addressed.

Dental Hygiene Considerations for Implant Maintenance
Presenter: Lynn Pencek, RDH, MS CE Supporter: VOCO America
We are 40 years since Professor Branemark introduced his research on osseointegration to the dental community. Dental Implants provide our patients with successful long-term restorative solutions for function, comfort, and aesthetics. Today, Dental Hygienists are seeing more patients with dental implants. Implant manufacturers have introduced new implant designs, surfaces, and surface chemistry that affect biocompatibility and maintenance protocols. There are concerns about what materials we use to reduce peri-implant inflammation, may negatively affect the implant surface's biocompatibility and the implant’s long-term success. This CE webinar will review dental implant component materials and design and the biological compatibility of commonly used instruments, technology, and therapeutic materials.

Smiles in Sickle Cell Care: Preventive Dental Hygiene Strategies for Enhanced Health
Presenter: Linda Chandler-Jacobs, BS, RDH CE Supporter: VOCO America
Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) or the Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) face unique challenges when they need dental treatment. Unfortunately, many dental professionals know very little about sickle cell disease and are not aware of the clinical manifestations and precautions that should be taken when treating these patients. Sickle cell disease severely affects oral health including increased risk of infections, severe dental decay caused by vaso-occlusal neglect, delayed healing and bone density issues. Sickle cell disease is the most prevalent genetic disease affecting approximately 7.7 million people worldwide of all nationalities. Participants of this webinar will gain insights into the unique oral health challenges faced by individuals with SCD and the importance of preventive care in mitigating these risks. The CE webinar will cover essential preventive dental hygiene practices, tailored treatment planning, and communication strategies to effectively support this patient population. By focusing on initiative-taking oral health care, the webinar aims to enhance the quality of life and overall health outcomes for individuals with Sickle Cell Disease, addressing both their physical and emotional well-being.

The pH Party in Your Mouth that You Weren't Invited To
Presenter: Shannon Nanne, RDH CE Supporter: VOCO America
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) affects your quality of life and your overall health. The ability to safely swallow is vital for adequate nutrition and hydration, and it prevents foods and liquids from entering your lungs, where they can cause pneumonia. Depending on which part of the swallowing process is affected, dysphagia can be described as: • Oral dysphagia — when the problem is in the mouth, usually due to the movement of the tongue • Pharyngeal or oropharyngeal dysphagia — when the problem is regarding food passing through the throat • Esophageal dysphagia — when food is unable to move down through the esophagus
Swallowing disorders can lead to tooth decay and other oral health issues if they cause food or liquid to remain in the mouth. This can increase the risk of cavities and other oral diseases.
