This CE webinar will examine how technology has made it possible for clinicians to turn any prepped veneer case into a no-prep case, making our treatment much more conservative, and more acceptable to the patient. With today’s high-strength ceramics and adhesive cementation protocols, veneers can be made as thin as 0.3mm, making esthetic no-prep veneers possible, if the teeth are in the correct position and you're utilizing an esthetic, adhesive cement. No-prep veneers are more difficult to seat than prepped veneers or crowns, and a live demonstration will show a seating technique to mitigate those difficulties and the proper cementation protocol to create lasting, esthetic restorations.
In this engaging one-hour CE webinar, participants will explore two distinct techniques for creating direct composite veneers. Attendees will gain insight into the methodical, layer-by-layer approach of “The Builder,” focused on controlled anatomy and shade development, contrasted with the artistic, sculptural style of “The Carver,” emphasizing form and contour from the outset. Through clinical demonstrations and expert commentary, this webinar highlights the strengths, indications, and nuances of each technique—empowering clinicians to expand their skill set and refine their aesthetic outcomes. Perfect for dentists looking to elevate their direct veneer artistry with practical, real-world applications.

This webinar will provide actionable insights to elevate your confidence and results.
With so many choices in materials and available cements, chaos may ensue when deciding to lute or bond each restoration. There has to be a better way to understand and ensure long-term success for our restorations. This CE webinar is designed for the attendee to gain confidence in their cement selection and handling of each restoration.
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.
Current economic trends show flat reimbursements, while all of our costs rise. In order to remain profitable, dentists must work more efficiently. Fortunately, we have advances in direct restorative and adhesive dentistry that can allow for working faster and smarter while having great clinical success. This CE webinar will examine the fundamentals of working efficiently and effectively with today's high output curing lights, universal adhesives and bulk fill restorative materials. We will also examine placement techniques that facilitate excellent restorative outcomes.
Clear aligners provide an esthetic and functional orthodontic solution for patients of all ages, eliminating the need for brackets, wires, or bands. To ensure successful outcomes, properly placed attachments play a crucial role in guiding tooth movement and aligner retention. This CE webinar will equip participants with expert techniques to streamline attachment bonding, troubleshooting, and removal—optimizing the clear aligner experience for both clinicians and patients.
As adhesives and cements continue to evolve, change, and improve, it becomes more difficult for restorative dentists to keep up with the latest advances. With increasingly higher patient expectations for long term clinical success, it is important that dentists have an understanding of these materials in order to make sound decisions on what to use when and why. This CE webinar will discuss the different generations of adhesives and categories of cements including those with bioactive properties. Clinical cases will be shown to demonstrate the use of these adhesives and cements including the proper protocols that must be followed.
In this CE webinar, Dr. Tomaro will share with participants different scenarios where the clinician has to make a decision as to the technique and choice of materials. The correct material choice and mimic nature. The restoration and tooth becomes as one.
Armed with new clinical guidelines based on recent systematic reviews, clinicians must choose between the comfort of what they’ve always done and what can stop and reverse dental caries. It’s time to move from bonding to chemical fusion.
This CE webinar will deal with numerous aspects of comprehensive restorative aesthetic dentistry and efficient patient care in today’s dental practice. We will discuss how to make routine dental procedures such as adhesion and direct resins more predictable and efficient using the latest material technologies. Also discussed will be the indirect restoration protocol including preparation design for the current restorative materials and the use of impression materials vs digital technologies. Insertion protocols will also be addressed to aide the clinician in developing a foolproof method to deliver high quality, long-lasting restorations.
Have you noticed the shift in dentistry? Patients expect their dental care to be easier, delivered in a shorter treatment time, and painless. As clinicians, we understand the benefits of conservative restorative approaches and want to promote them at every opportunity. Given the advancement of early diagnostics, minimal intervention becomes even more paramount using cutting-edge technology. This CE webinar will discuss guiding principles for contemporary adhesive preparations using as little intervention as possible utilizing a new roll-out class of minimally invasive dental burs that provide a major impact. Learn how these burs can navigate a variety of current dental materials and tooth anatomy.
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.
We are going to explore strategies for simplifying the Class II restoration process by utilizing efficient preparation techniques, simplified matrix systems, and bonding protocols. Additionally, we will discuss methods for minimizing stress during treatment and achieving exceptional outcomes through proper finishing and polishing techniques to create excellent interproximal contacts.
Whether due to insufficient bone, medical contraindications, financial constraints, or patient preferences, single-tooth implants aren’t the solution for every case. That’s where fiber-reinforced bridges come in. To tell us all about the wonders of fiber-reinforced bridges is our guest, Dr. Marvin Chacon. With over 15 years of clinical dentistry experience, he obtained his Master's in Aesthetic Dentistry from King's College London in 2022. As a clinical trainer and speaker, he focuses on modern dental materials and innovative techniques under the "minimum Intervention" approach.
This CE webinar will provide the pearls for the participants to achieve a higher level of composite artistry with results that can seamlessly replicate the esthetics of natural teeth or even rival the beauty of porcelain restorations by utilizing fundamental learning concepts of blending, shaping and polishing anterior composites restorations that predictably emulates any human tooth morphology found in nature.
Patients present to our offices almost daily with anterior teeth that need restorations, including ones that replace a portion of the tooth that is readily visible to the patient and others. In these cases, we can choose to restore the area with a direct or indirect restoration. Indirect restorations are managed often times by a ceramist, but direct restorations require a thorough knowledge of the material and the understanding of effective layering to achieve a restoration that blends in naturally with the sounding tooth structure. In this CE webinar, we will utilize a restorative material that simplifies the layering techniques to achieve an outstanding result.
Recurrent caries haunt each and every provider at one point or another. Pastes, rinses and home care tools can only go so far - sometimes we need to break the caries cycle at the tooth-restorative interface. This CE webinar will highlight some advances in composite chemistry that marry the convenience of a bulk fill with the smarts of remineralization. Caries risk assessment and adhesive considerations will be covered in detail, as each of these components in addition to our materials, make for more predictable restorative outcomes.

To provide patients with the best adhesive restorative dentistry, we are required to have absolute isolation and a firm understanding of bonding principles. Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be able to:
• Understand the importance of rubber dam isolation
• Be familiar with the basics of isolation
• Understand the fundamental principles of bonding
Fibre-reinforced direct bridges (FRDB’s) have shown good performance in clinical applications, capable of overcoming functional masticatory loading with a more biomimetic behavior than rigid metallic or full ceramic prostheses. Its retention relies on adhesive capacity which allows a lower tooth structure removal than conventional alternatives, as minimal or no sound tooth structure preparation is needed on the abutment.
Composite resin injectables are highly versatile materials that can be used in numerous scenarios to enhance cosmetic dental practices in a minimally invasive manner, while also facilitating everyday general dentistry. Mastery of composite dentistry, understanding proper adhesive protocols, and establishing effective isolation techniques are crucial steps toward gaining confidence in the functional outcomes of these restorations. In this CE webinar, our goal is to educate participants on how to confidently place predictable composite injectable restorations in both the esthetic zone and posterior teeth. We will cover various case types, including the increasingly popular fiber injectable composites used for build-up procedures. Additionally, we will provide an overview of the cementation protocols for indirect porcelain restorations using injectable materials.
It seems like a lifetime ago that we were using 35-shade composites! This paradigm shift has changed the way we practice everyday dentistry. What have we learned?

Deep Marginal Elevations (DME) can be very technique sensitive. Often times if the curing light cannot reach the restorative material due to sheer depth, we must come up with an alternative solution. Dual cured restorative materials have answered that puzzle. Dual cured materials are often misunderstood in the daily routine of a restorative dentist. This is mainly due to the clinician’s high comfort level with traditional light cured composite resins as their “go-to” material. During this CE webinar, I will explain the different mechanics between light cured versus dual cured materials and the role each has on stresses created and the impact on bonding. Then I will give a step by step systematic approach in using a dual cured material to obtain predictable and repeatable results when performing DME procedures. Finally, I will show clinical examples of Deep Marginal Elevations with dual cured materials and tips and tricks help obtain the desired result.
A 9.3-micron CO2 Laser can be a multiplier at the center of your practice. This unique technology allows you and your team to streamline existing procedures and expand to new procedures, while also complementing surrounding technologies. By enabling anesthesia-free, blood-free, and pain-free procedures in hard and soft tissue, dentists can do more in a single visit while elevating the patient experience. In this CE webinar, join Dr. Kim as she discusses how the 9.3-micron CO2 Laser is a versatile solution that can benefit almost every patient, every day with uses for restorative, soft tissue, implant, airway, tethered oral tissues (TOTs), cosmetic procedures and more.
Direct resin posterior restorations can be challenging to blend with the surrounding tooth structure for several reasons ranging from discoloration of underlying tooth structure that can result when replacing an old amalgam that stained the dentin, teeth discolored due to tetracycline or other things related to when the tooth developed, tooth shades that do not fit standard Vita shades, to enamel and dentin that varies in shade on the tooth. Luckily, advances in restorative composite materials have allowed development of single shade resin materials for direct restorations, offering a simpler process using fewer materials to achieve excellent aesthetics that blends with the surrounding tooth. In this CE webinar, the benefits of using a universal shade composite to simplify direct resin restorations for use for Class I and II restorations, Class V restorations and core buildups will be discussed.
There is a concept in dentistry that somehow adhesion is better and yet we see amalgams and crowns, held on by zinc phosphate cement, are still working in patients mouths 40+ years later but we see failure rates and replacements of various adhesive dentistry in 5-10 years. Where techniques use to be more simplistic with less steps and basic fundamentals we achieved success, and now we throw out many of those concepts and replace them with adhesion, we expect to find longevity. Are you seeing longevity or are you seeing more sensitivity, problems, failures or costly redos? This CE webinar is a look at where we are at with modern adhesion and what we believe we know. The goal is to give you some systems, tools and thoughts to consider to help you and your patients to have better longevity and success in the restorative dentistry you provide.
