Totally Simplified Color Matching - Single Shade Direct Composite Presenter: Dr. Bob Lowe CE Supporter: Tokuyama Dental America Release Date: 10/15/19     Reviewed: 2023 Expiration Date: 10/15/26 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Creating aesthetic direct composite restorations that precisely match existing tooth color is a clinical challenge that can be difficult for even the most experienced clinician. Shades for most composite materials rely upon 1950’s technology – the VITA Lumin Shade Guide. Clinical reality is that many composites do not precisely match the VITA Shade Guide let alone each other! This can be extremely frustrating for the clinician, especially for a patient that is “picky” about aesthetic matching. Having a universal, single-shade composite system that can take the “guesswork” and frustration out of shade selection and match a majority of clinical situations, is something that restorative dentists will welcome! In this CE webinar, you will be introduced to the first of its kind...a truly universal single-shade composite system.

Fluoride Varnish Meeting Individual Needs Presenter: Patti DiGangi, RDH, BS CE Supporter: VOCO America Release Date: 10/10/19     Reviewed: 2023 Expiration Date: 10/10/26 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Many clinicians do not routinely apply varnish for adult patients. The need for fluoride is not age-based; all ages can benefit. One size does not fit everyone. The American Dental Association (ADA) Council on Scientific Affairs created an evidence-based clinical practice guideline based on a systematic review of current science. The ADA’s Caries Risk Assessment forms are practice tools to help evaluate a patient’s risk of developing caries and guide the practitioner. These work in conjunction with CDT Caries Risk Assessment procedure codes. This CE webinar assists participants to provide the most efficacious treatments based on individual needs.
