In this CE webinar, participants will explore the full potential of modern facial scanning technology and its newest features. The webinar will demonstrate how advanced facial scanning, mandibular movement tracking, and optimal jaw relationship functions can be seamlessly integrated into digital workflows to enhance precision, communication, and patient outcomes. Attendees will see real-world examples of how these tools can be applied in daily practice—from diagnostics and treatment planning to patient communication—providing an efficient and reliable way to align facial, intraoral, and CBCT data. By the end of the webinar, participants will understand how to implement these innovations to elevate both their clinical practice and the patient experience.


Using Clear Aligners to Set up a Great Restorative Outcome

Restorative dentistry often delivers the best results when teeth are ideally positioned before treatment begins. This 1-hour CE webinar explores how clear aligner therapy can be used strategically to create a foundation for long-lasting, esthetic, and functional restorative outcomes. Participants will learn how to identify cases where minor tooth movement simplifies restorative procedures, reduces invasiveness, and enhances patient satisfaction. The webinar will cover treatment planning principles, sequencing aligners with restorative phases, and effective patient communication to encourage acceptance of pre-restorative orthodontics. Through case examples, clinicians will gain practical skills to integrate aligner therapy seamlessly into everyday restorative care.

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) affects your quality of life and your overall health. The ability to safely swallow is vital for adequate nutrition and hydration, and it prevents foods and liquids from entering your lungs, where they can cause pneumonia. Depending on which part of the swallowing process is affected, dysphagia can be described as: • Oral dysphagia — when the problem is in the mouth, usually due to the movement of the tongue • Pharyngeal or oropharyngeal dysphagia — when the problem is regarding food passing through the throat • Esophageal dysphagia — when food is unable to move down through the esophagus Swallowing disorders can lead to tooth decay and other oral health issues if they cause food or liquid to remain in the mouth. This can increase the risk of cavities and other oral diseases.


Enhancing Operational Readiness: Optimizing SOPs, Documentation, Continuity Planning

The conventional “watch-and-wait” philosophy for caries management has become increasingly obsolete in clinical practice. Contemporary dentistry demands a proactive paradigm that leverages advanced preventive and therapeutic modalities to mitigate disease progression. Passive observation of early carious lesions exposes patients to the risk of untreated progression and potential tooth loss. Current best practices advocate for interventions that prioritize prevention and early management, utilizing evidence-based protocols such as silver diamine fluoride. These approaches enable immediate response when caries is detected, arresting lesions and optimizing patient outcomes. For individuals at elevated risk, the critical question shifts to identifying which preventive strategies—beyond traditional diagnostics or age-based recommendations—will offer the most robust protection. The future of caries care is personalized, risk-based, and tailored to each patient’s unique clinical needs, guided by individual risk factors rather than generalized guidelines or insurance limitations.

View Full Description »
Cone beam CT has revolutionized the dental field by allowing clinicians to visualize the patient in 3D. This technology has increased productivity and efficiency. This CE webinar is designed to help the dental practitioner to better understand 3D imaging technology as well as what to consider when purchasing a CBCT for their office. In addition, the webinar will help the clinician to recognize the clinical applications in implantology, endodontics, surgery, orthodontics, periodontology, and pathology using a case-based approach.







Temporization and Cementation of Porcelain Veneers: A Guide to Consistent Successful Results
Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
For many general dentists porcelain veneers cases can be infrequent procedures in their offices. Because of this, it’s hard to establish habits and consistent workflows. This CE webinar is designed to provide some easy guidelines to make the workflow simple and the esthetic results consistently excellent. The easiest way to make veneer temporaries is also the most predictable and most esthetic. Some simple techniques will help you improve your temporary veneer outcomes. Cementation technique and materials of veneers can be a little different than with all ceramic crowns. This webinar will guide you step by step on how to get predictable results every time you deliver your veneer cases.







The ABC’s of Adhesive Bonding and Cementation
Presenter: Dr. Thomas Dudney
Sponsor: Bisco

View Full Description »
As adhesives and cements continue to evolve, change, and improve, it becomes more difficult for restorative dentists to keep up with the latest advances. With increasingly higher patient expectations for long term clinical success, it is important that dentists have an understanding of these materials in order to make sound decisions on what to use when and why. This CE webinar will discuss the different generations of adhesives and categories of cements including those with bioactive properties. Clinical cases will be shown to demonstrate the use of these adhesives and cements including the proper protocols that must be followed.
