True bioactivity in relation to cementation in today’s dentistry is incredibly advantageous. It allows the dentist to have comfort in the knowledge that the crown margin will not be the weak link in cementation. Bioactivity enhances the stability of the restoration by forming hydroxyapatite crystals at the restorative margin, minimizing the chance of microleakage and decreasing the risk of sensitivity. This CE webinar will examine the characteristics of bioactive cements and indications for its usage.

Pediatric dentistry is continuing to evolve, as is dentistry in general. The concept of total body care, or better stated, integrative dental medicine, has finally become commonly accepted. Obviously, the younger the patient is exposed to integrative oral medicine the better the future result. This CE webinar will outline the process of early childhood intervention, and then the appropriate use of more biologically kind restorative materials. It is important to realize that in every profession, there is always a group that resists change. Old habits die hard, but dentistry is now poised to be the profession for the most incredible advancement in healthcare. We now have the scientific knowledge and the biologic materials to best benefit humankind.
When a crown seats at delivery - predictably, and with little to no adjustment is just about as good as it gets in dentistry! More than ever, clinicians are looking for predictable and efficient methods to deliver pristine restorations that provide sealed margins, functional occlusion, and excellent esthetics. But so many variables are in play that often result in frustration, remakes, and even failure. This CE webinar will demonstrate how the combination of using high-speed handpieces, burs, and digital scanning can become a proven clinical partner in providing critical information to the lab that ultimately benefits the patient. Discussion will offer a successful “start to finish” approach clinicians will want to implement immediately.

The secret is knowing what problems can occur so that you can avoid them or that you have an immediate solution that resolves the problem. Cosmetic dentistry requires a lot of knowledge, time, practice and skill to become very good. Problems are a gift in that we learn from our mistakes. We want to obviously learn from others that are further along in their career or knowledge so that we can remove as many potential problems so that we can accelerate our craft with the least amount of problems. This CE webinar will discus various problems that can arise when using resin adhesion to ceramics like crowns and veneers.
Traditional instruction for composite application has always been “incremental” and with “cold” room temperature material. And yet, voids and gaps are often observed with the “cold” placement of these materials. Flowable composites and various placement techniques have been developed to help overcome this problem, especially in the deepest parts of our tooth preparations. However, recent evidence is calling this “tried and true” process into question. In this CE webinar, join us to review the “tradition” of composite placement as you and I were taught in dental school and as we investigate a processes that can simplify and improve your long term restorative process.

One in 44 children have been diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum, with approximately 100 newly diagnosed patients daily. Since first identified as a disorder in the 1940’s, Autism Spectrum is the fastest growing developmental disorder in current history. Treating special needs patients in a dental practice presents a multitude of challenges from behavior and cooperation concerns to related health concerns, not to mention the oral considerations associated with medications. As these children on the Autism Spectrum age and integrate into society as young adults many also age out of pediatric dental practices and are seen in general practices. As a practicing hygienist and mother of an Autistic child the speaker has learned methods to ease the anxiety associated with dental appointments for many patients in addition to common oral conditions that may affect individuals with Special Needs.
