As the world of 3D printing continues to explode across the dental landscape, questions abound. Doctors are interested in this new amazing and cutting edge technology, but They need pertinent information on the best way to integrate this technology as well as what to expect when moving to this totally digital in-office workflow. Dr. John Flucke strives to always keep his office on the leading edge of technology and he has spent a great deal of time immersed in the world of digital dentistry and 3D printing. In this CE webinar Dr. Flucke will show you how easy this technology is to integrate and some of the things doctors can create in-office. The creation of many needed appliances is much easier than you may think. Even beginners can create many of the things patients need with minimal training. Learn how to take your office to the ‘digital next level’ by incorporating 3D printing into your everyday office routine. Doctors will understand the basics of 3D printing and design and feel comfortable knowing that they and their teams can work together to create an in-office workflow that is much easier than many believe.
Provisional restorations are a vital diagnostic and assessment tool. Function, color, shape, contour, occlusion, periodontal response, implant healing, and overall esthetics can be assessed with a well made provisional restoration. Accurate fit and margins are essential. Many clinicians make their provisionals utilizing bisacryl material and a pre-made stent. Lab made provisionals that are re-lined are also used. Printing your provisionals can save both time and money. Producing esthetic, well fitting, functional provisional restorations can be simply and efficiently done with your in-office 3D printer.
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!
This CE webinar underscores the crucial role of comprehensive knowledge about dental products, particularly for patients with pre-existing health conditions that could be aggravated by specific ingredients. The absence of this understanding could precipitate allergic manifestations, medicinal contraindications, and even acute medical emergencies. This curriculum provides participants with a thorough comprehension of dental product ingredients, their possible adverse effects, and strategies to mitigate these risks in routine clinical practice. Through a scientific lens, it enables healthcare providers to better manage patient health by considering the potential impacts of dental product ingredients on various disease states.
73 million Americans make up the Baby Boomer generation, and they will all be over the age of 65 by the year 2030.

Managing cosmetic cases involving endodontically treated teeth can be challenging. Loss of tooth structure following trauma or caries removal along with endodontic treatment can compromise the strength and appearance of an anterior tooth. This CE webinar will review key points to obtaining an esthetic result while observing minimally invasive protocols.
Dentistry is continually changing, and that includes oral cancers. Current evidence reveals that the Human Papillomavirus/HPV now causes more oropharyngeal cancer than cervical cancer and is responsible for approximately 80% of oropharyngeal cancers. It’s essential that dental professionals share important information about HPV and oropharyngeal cancer, not only with their patients but also with their family and friends. In this content rich CE webinar, join oral cancer coach Susan Cotten BS, RDH, OMT, we discuss HPV, the signs and symptoms associated with oropharyngeal cancer, and the critical role a comprehensive screening has in early detection. Attendees will leave inspired, ready to share information about HPV and give their dental team and patients something to talk about to increase early detection and save lives!
Achieve success in creating lasting indirect restorations as a clinician. Emphasizing proactive case planning and meticulous preparation with the right tools is essential for favorable outcomes. Proficiently capturing both digital and traditional impressions ensures precise communication with the lab, contributing to well-fitted restorations. Master the final bonding and cementation processes to attain excellent results in your clinical practice.
The secrets to long lasting restorations are partially under our control and partially determined by attributes within the materials used. Strength is important. Lower levels of shrinkage are key. But so are preparation guidelines, minimizing water and saliva contamination, as well as occlusal forces. Dr. Peter Auster analyzes the benefits of some of today’s best composites as well as ways to optimize their lifetime.

Scanners, scopes, printers, and CBCTs are all great, but do they really make life easier when a patient can barely open, decay is subgingival and difficult to access, blood and spit are everywhere, and you are already running behind? In this informative and entertaining one hour CE webinar, Dr. Gupta will demonstrate simple, cost-effective, and highly accessible strategies to make these situations easier and more predictable.
Most dentists still think of composite as filling material that should be packed into boxy preps, cured in layers and used at room temperature. Today there is scientific evidence that is the wrong way to use composite. Injection molding techniques that can wrap around the preparations are possible by using heated multi-viscosity resins. You will discover the benefits and available options for various warming techniques.
This CE webinar is for dental professionals aiming to prevent unnecessary tooth surface damage during dental procedures. It highlights the importance of precision in the use of both manual and ultrasonic instruments, and how to mitigate risks associated with their use. This webinar also provides strategies to enhance the remineralization process post-procedure, with a focus on protecting tooth surfaces and restoring natural defense mechanisms.
Health inequities persist for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities experience poorer oral health and challenges accessing dental care. Historically, dental curriculum did not require training dental professionals on how to care for and manage treatment of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Providers often report feeling unprepared to care for this population. This course will evaluate the current barriers to care, identify complex factors contributing to oral health and equip the dental provider with strategies to improve patient care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
With the advent of resin composites, we have seen generations of materials that left something to be desired in either their strength or esthetics. The resin composites of the 2020’s are better than ever. This CE webinar will investigate new improvements in properties like polymerization shrinkage, flexural strength, polishability and filler percentage. In addition, we will explore the advantages of using universal adhesives for today’s direct restorations.
Convenience is the commodity that matters the most to patients. When considering to proceed with treatment, patients often cite having fewer appointments and not having to go see other specialists as an important motivator. It is possible to 3D print occlusal guards, surgical guides, models, retainers, prototypes, provisionals, clear aligners, dentures and permanent restorations very quickly. Move treatment forward faster, get more diagnosis and production from your hygiene chairs, lower your lab bills, and offer your patients the convenience they desire. Adding 3D printing to your work flow is easy for you and your team.
Snoring decreases oral pH, and our friendly cariogenic bacteria love an acidic environment. Is this part of your diagnosis for why your caries prone patients are caries prone?
