Flowable Composite Resin in a Variety of Clinical Applications Pediatric Dentistry for the General Dentist Presenter: Dr. Carla Cohn CE Supporter: VOCO America Release Date: 6/25/21 Expiration Date: 6/25/24 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Flowable composite resins have long since been used effectively in preventative and restorative pediatric dentistry. But until now their use has been generally limited to sealants and liners. Recent improvements in mechanical properties and availability of different viscosities have changed how we view and use flowable resins. We now have many different flowables with different properties to choose from. Specifically, variations in viscosity lead to different clinical indications. We can now match appropriate viscosity and delivery to appropriate clinical scenario. As a result, flowable resins have a newly increased versatility and usefulness for different restorative situations. This CE webinar will walk through the advantages of different viscosity flowable resins and their indications for use with your pediatric patients. We will study several different clinical cases and choices of material for most effective and efficient use of our materials to best serve our patients.

Anterior Discolorations: Resin Infiltration and Microabrasion – When, Where, and How Presenter: Dr. Nathaniel Lawson and Dr. Augusto Robles CE Supporter: DMG America Release Date: 6/24/21 Expiration Date: 6/24/24 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Surface and sub-surface enamel discolorations may bring a patient into the office for esthetic treatment. Traditional treatment for these lesions could involve composite resins or ceramic veneers. More conservative options are available for removing minimal tooth structure that do not involve bonding restorative materials which need to be replaced over time. Microabrasion is a technique which removes up to 100 microns of the outer layer of enamel. Resin infiltration is a new technique which removes some of the outer layer of enamel and then infiltrates an unfilled resin into the space. This CE webinar will describe both techniques and how to use them in combination.

Expect More from Your Materials Presenter: Dr. Jeanette MacLean CE Supporter: GC America Release Date: 6/23/21 Expiration Date: 6/23/24 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Bioactive restorative materials and prevention products with bioavailable properties are revolutionizing the dental industry. Take your patient care to the next level by incorporating treatments that do more than just ‘fill’ or ‘clean’ teeth. Learn how glass ionomer cement sealants can do more than just provide a physical barrier from plaque on pits and fissures, they are hydrophilic, can be placed on partially erupted molars, and act as a fluoride reservoir that helps to prevent caries and enhance remineralization. Sealants and toothpastes with RECALDENT® technology increase the bioavailable calcium and phosphate in saliva to enhance enamel remineralization and reduce sensitivity without staining enamel. Glass hybrid restoratives help to reduce post-op sensitivity, reduce recurrent caries, improve outcomes, and have enhanced physical properties for long-lasting durability and esthetics. Dental materials are evolving and so should you!
