From Overwhelm to Comfort: Creating Sensory-Friendly Dental Environments Presenter: Jeannette Diaz-Olivera, DHSc, MPH, RDHAP, FADHA Sponsor: GUM Thu  10/22/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/22/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Dental fear and anxiety are among the most common reasons patients delay or avoid oral healthcare. The dental environment is filled with sensory stimuli, including bright lights, unfamiliar sounds, smells, tastes, and touch sensations that can contribute to distress and discomfort. For individuals who are neurodivergent, have intellectual or developmental disabilities, have experienced trauma, or experience heightened anxiety, sensory processing differences may further impact their ability to tolerate dental treatment. This CE webinar introduces dental professionals to the role of sensory processing in the patient experience. It explores evidence-based sensory adaptations that can reduce anxiety, improve cooperation, and support more positive dental visits. Participants will learn practical, low-cost strategies to create a more sensory-friendly clinical environment and enhance patient-centered care for individuals across the lifespan.

3D Print Your Provisionals for Better Fit, Better Esthetics, and Convenience Presenter: Dr. Susan McMahon Sponsor: VOCO America CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Provisional restorations are a vital diagnostic and assessment tool. Function, color, shape, contour, occlusion, periodontal response, implant healing, and overall esthetics can be assessed with a well made provisional restoration. Accurate fit and margins are essential. Many clinicians make their provisionals utilizing bisacryl material and a pre-made stent. Lab made provisionals that are re-lined are also used. Printing your provisionals can save both time and money. Producing esthetic, well fitting, functional provisional restorations can be simply and efficiently done with your in-office 3D printer.

Using Clear Aligners to Set up a Great Restorative Outcome Presenter: Dr. Sheila Samaddar Sponsor: Bisco CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

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.
