Composite dentistry has come a long way - from macrofills to nanofills to today’s nanohybrids and universal systems that aim to combine strength, esthetics, and efficiency. In this CE webinar, Dr. Luis Abrahante, DMD, shares his clinical perspective on the evolution of restorative materials and how they’ve shaped the modern restorative workflow. Attendees will explore foundational concepts such as C-Factor, shrinkage stress, and how advancements in filler technology and resin matrix design are influencing both technique and long-term outcomes. This webinar will provide a practical, high-yield breakdown of what clinicians should consider when selecting a universal composite - from handling to polish retention to marginal integrity - and how newer materials are helping streamline procedures while elevating results. Whether layering an anterior case or restoring a posterior load-bearing tooth, you'll gain strategies that are grounded in everyday dentistry and adaptable across different case types.

Dental providers are often unsure how to leverage the hygiene department and grow the business. There’s never been a better time to revolutionize this approach! Tiffany Wuebben, RDH shares systematic methods that combat today's dental practice challenges, support patient health, and significantly improve career satisfaction and the financial success of the practice. In this CE webinar, we will engage in a collaborative approach to developing the mission/vision and patient care protocols for the hygiene-driven practice. We'll also discuss a method to revolutionize your hygiene schedule with a 100% reappointment rate. Next, we'll explore the steps to increase capacity through patient advocacy, recall, reactivation, reviews and better patient-practice relationships. We will also help you to recognize adjunct procedures that boost patient care and identify empowering practice strategies that transform the hygienist into a true “Hygienepreneur.” Finally, we'll highlight the proactive steps that professionals can take to build a thriving “hygiene practice within a practice" and develop the knowledge and skills to build a strong hygiene department leading to better clinical outcomes, greater case acceptance, all while maximizing the practice potential.

Many dentists have clinical cosmetic skills in both porcelain and composite but lack a structure and process for case presentation and therefore book fewer cases. Whether you prefer composite or porcelain, this CE webinar will help you discover how to use Single-Shade composites to deliver a highly reliable “Test-Drive” smile preview. This webinar will showcase curated case real-time mock-up techniques, clinical case examples, and streamlined workflow strategies that help dentists create efficient, consistent, and visually compelling in-mouth mock-ups and design.

Zirconia vs. Lithium Disilicate: Different Cementation Protocols Required
Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Zirconia and lithium disilicate (eMax and others) are the two most common direct restorative materials. Predictable long term cementation success is dependent on the proper pre-cementation treatment and understanding the different cement options available. As we currently do not have a universal it is important to understand the different cement options to make an informed decision. This CE webinar is designed to review the proper pre-cementation protocols and discuss the different cement categories to help the viewer create a workflow and thought process that will increase the predictability of their restorations.

Guest: Dr. Brian Novy
Remineralization of teeth is a natural process through which essential minerals, such as calcium and phosphate, are deposited back into the enamel, effectively reversing early stages of tooth decay. What can we do as hygienists and dentists to augment this natural process? According to our expert speaker, Dr. Brian Novy, it is a multifactorial approach which involves good communication with the patient and using the right therapeutics. Listen in to hear what the expert has to say.

What does it mean for dental hygienists to take charge of the operatory? Traditionally seen as supporting roles, hygienists have focused on cleaning teeth and patient education. But our guest today believes they can do much more—enhancing case acceptance, improving clinical outcomes, and elevating overall patient care. Her mission is to empower hygienists to lead, take ownership of their role, and contribute beyond their clinical duties. Dr. Kelly Tanner is a reg dental hygienist who holds a Ph.D. in Business and Leadership. Her website is nextleveldentalhygiene.com.

Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe
Today we’ll explore why direct composite procedures are quickly becoming a preferred alternative to traditional indirect restorations—and how you can use hybrid techniques like deep margin elevation and model-based composite crowns to deliver exceptional results without prepping away valuable tooth structure or sending cases to the lab. Joining us are two experienced clinicians, Dr Lauren Rainey and Dr Mauricio Watanabe. They will share how the use of highly filled nanocomposite materials in their techniques are transforming the way they restore teeth—and why patients are loving the results.
