Nano-ORMOCER technology is an all-ceramic direct restorative material that is designed to help simplify restorative needs and can reduce costs to a practice. This CE webinar will discuss how this revolutionary restorative material can simplify direct composite procedures.
Innovation has been great for dentistry. It provides more treatment options for the patient and a more targeted approach to restorative dentistry. By targeting treatment options, we are able to customize each restoration to what is most appropriate for individual circumstances. One downside of innovation is that it can come with a lot of confusion. This confusion has been particularly evident with respect to flowable composites and cements. This CE webinar will bring clarity to this confusion and allow practitioners to better understand the importance of proper cement selections and realize that all flowable composites are not the same.
Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be able to:
• Understand the roles of the various agencies that play a part in how we design and utilize this space
• Become familiar with the proper steri-center design and the four important areas to include
• List resources and time-saving automated systems to assist with efficiency and compliance

Adult orthodontic patients define themselves mainly through aesthetic needs in the visible anterior region and less through functional requirements. This also means that the patient’s expectations are increasingly similar to those of a consumer. As a result, time has thus become an important commodity in our society which we can no longer ignore in our professional efforts as orthodontists. AcceleDent enables me to treat all kinds of complex situations in my aligner cases without compromises in biomechanics and predictability in tooth movement. My patients change aligners every 7 days, although in some cases even faster while also achieving very predictable outcomes.
