Many general dentists associate silver diamine fluoride with pediatric or geriatric patients, where caries arrest outweighs esthetic concerns. Dentists, especially in esthetically focused practices, dismiss SDF as incompatible with their treatment goals. But this view is outdated. In this CE webinar, we will review how proper case selection and clinical integration make SDF not only compatible with general dentistry but also a powerful diagnostic and disease stabilizing tool. Learn how incorporating SDF can elevate patient care, improve outcomes, and strengthen your practice’s business model—without sacrificing esthetics.

Zirconia has established itself as one of the most versatile and reliable materials in contemporary restorative dentistry. With advancements in CAD/CAM technology and speed-sintering protocols, zirconia restorations have become more efficient and predictable than ever before - particularly for implant-supported prosthetics. This evidence-based CE webinar will explore the expanding role of zirconia in modern chairside dentistry, with a special focus on restoring dental implants using the long-awaited hybrid zirconia implant abutment block. This innovative material offers unprecedented versatility, enabling clinicians to design and fabricate either screw-retained or cement-retained implant restorations from a single block. Participants will gain practical insight into clinical case selection, optimal preparation design, and strategies to streamline the zirconia workflow—from digital impression to finishing and delivery. Emphasis will also be placed on bonding and cementation protocols critical to the long-term success of zirconia restorations. You won’t want to miss Dr. Dhaval Patel share his experience and knowledge!

Unsightly congenital enamel defects from molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and trauma can be troublesome for many patients. Historically, these blemishes have been treated with invasive and costly resin bondings and veneers. Dealing with enamel defects can prove particularly troublesome for young patients, which when left untreated, often become a source of embarrassment for the patient. This CE webinar will review tips and tricks to manage these enamel defects with resin infiltration. This noninvasive approach can improve or even completely reverse the appearance of congenital enamel defects while preserving tooth structure and repairing the patient’s natural enamel.

Bonding Basics for Lasting Cosmetic Artistry
Presenter: Dr. Devin McClintock
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Advancements in technology and materials have shifted the field of dentistry. As a result, providers opt to rely more on chemical adhesion over mechanical retention with both their direct and indirect restorations. This paradigm shift of preparation design to a more conservative approach is dependent on an equal shift in our bonding protocols. The road to reliability in adhesive dentistry is paved through consistency and reliance on adhering to science. Developing systems and protocols and sticking to them ensures long term stability with cosmetic restorations. Which in turn results in happy patients with reliable outcomes. But how does one develop the proper systems and protocols? In this CE webinar, providers will learn how to simplify yet optimize their isolation techniques and bonding protocols to achieve more predictable long-term success with both their direct and indirect restorative outcomes.

Guest: Irene Iancu, BSc, RRDH, CTDP, OM
We've all seen the white spot lesions on our patients teeth. By any measure, they're not particularly aesthetic and most patients would love them to disappear. So why is it that for a large majority of patients that are actually visiting their dentist regularly, these lesions persist and essentially detract from their smile. The only logical answer I can come up with is that many dentists are not utilizing something called resin infiltration. It's a simple procedure that is remarkably effective in essentially making white spot lesions disappear. To tell us all about it is our guest Irene Iancu. Irene is a Canadian RRDH and entrepreneur with experience in various specialties like Pediatrics, Orthodontics, and Periodontics, she has combined all these elements in her start-up dental practice in Toronto, Toothlife Studio. Irene is an international speaker, key opinion leader, host of the Tooth or Dare podcast and creates educational content on all social platforms under the handle @toothlife.irene.
