Integrating CO2 Laser Technology into your CAD/CAM Workflow
Presenter: Dr. Amarjit Rihal
Sponsor: Convergent Dental

Incorporating a 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser into a digitally driven practice can elevate how clinicians deliver care. This CE webinar explores how laser technology complements tools such as intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM systems to simplify workflows, improve precision, and unlock new procedural opportunities, often enabling efficient same-day care. By reducing bleeding, sutures, and post-operative discomfort, the 9.3-micron CO2 laser enables dentists to confidently perform high-value procedures including implant uncoveries, tissue recontouring, flapless crown lengthening, and more. Join Dr. Amarjit Rihal as he reviews practical applications and real-world cases that demonstrate how combining laser and digital technologies can enhance clinical outcomes, improve efficiency, and elevate the patient experience.


A Mock-Up–Driven Approach to Veneer Preparation and Bonding

Fri  2/27/26    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
Veneer longevity is determined by what we bond to and how teeth are prepared - long before cementation begins. This focused CE webinar presents a mock-up–driven veneer workflow, demonstrating how diagnostic planning and preparation design create optimal bonding conditions for predictable esthetics and long-term success. Attendees will gain a clinically practical framework for making bonding and preparation decisions that directly influence veneer performance and durability.


The Anatomy of Local Anesthesia: Where Should I Put It?
Presenter: Dr. David Isen

The anatomy of the maxilla and the mandible can affect the efficacy of local anesthetics and their ease of delivery. As well, variations in nerve distribution of both the maxillary and mandibular nerves can make local anesthetic success unpredictable and ineffective. This CE webinar will discuss both nerve and bone anatomy and how they can change the efficacy and ease of delivery of a local anesthetic. A review of the maxillary nerve, the mandibular nerve, the mandible and the maxilla will be discussed. Various injection techniques and local anesthetic products will be reviewed considering this nerve and bone anatomy.

This CE webinar challenges the traditional “watch and see” approach in patient care, emphasizing the importance of early intervention supported by advanced technologies. We will explore how AI enables early diagnosis and predictive analytics, improving patient confidence in proactive treatment. Additionally, the webinar will highlight innovative, non-invasive therapies, such as hydroxyapatite-generating techniques, that allow clinicians to treat early lesions effectively without drilling or discomfort.

Endodontically Treated Teeth in the Esthetic Zone
Presenter: Dr. Priya Tirumalasetty
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »

This CE webinar will review key points to obtaining an esthetic result while observing minimally invasive protocols.







The Value of Being Seen: Elevating Care for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Presenter: Jeannette Diaz, RDH, RDHAP, MS, MPH, FADHA
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Health inequities persist for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities experience poorer oral health and challenges accessing dental care. Historically, the dental curriculum did not require training dental professionals to care for and manage the treatment of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Providers often report feeling unprepared to care for this population. This CE webinar will evaluate the current barriers to care, identify complex factors contributing to oral health, and equip the dental provider with strategies to improve patient care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Featured Podcast Episodes
Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.75
Guest: Dr. Brian Novy
Today we’re talking about direct restorative materials that can truly change the course of your patients’ dental health — and no, not just composite, but glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer. Used strategically, these materials can help patients avoid a lifetime of fillings, crowns, and repeat dental work. And adopting this conservative approach doesn’t mean sacrificing revenue — in fact, building a practice focused on preserving healthy tooth structure attracts patients who value care that’s truly in their best interest. Joining us is Dr. Brian Nový, a leading cariologist at Virginia Commonwealth University with faculty appointments at Harvard and Western University, and a private practice owner in Salem, Massachusetts. He’ll explain how glass ionomer and RMGI bond to teeth, their clinical applications, address concerns about strength and aesthetics, and show how they can transform long-term patient outcomes.

Series: Bisco CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Sheila Samaddar
Dr. Sheila Samaddar, a GP, shares how aligners have been a huge benefit to her practice, but she’s also candid about the challenges. She walks us through the key things every GP should know before diving into clear aligner therapy, plus some of her favorite products and tools that help her get the best results. Dr. Samaddar is internationally recognized and published by Invisalign for Top Case results annually for the last several years, as well as having a Top 10 case with the American Academy of Clear Aligners.

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Jennifer Derse
Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.
