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.

Adult patients are the largest growing population seeking orthodontic treatment. Many adult patients seek clear aligners as an esthetic alternative to traditional bracket and wire treatment. Yet many adult patients present with complex restorative treatment needs that can be complimented by orthodontic treatment for improved clinical outcomes with interdisciplinary treatment plans. Adult patients require a different patient experience and seek convenient and efficient treatment. The course will cover the basics of aligner design, materials, and mechanical advantages to understand the importance of product selection in complex adult treatment plans. The CE webinar will also explore the digital workflow and digital ecosystem for office efficiency and optimal patient experience. After the webinar, the attendee should be able to evaluate and select an aligner system for complex interdisciplinary cases, and evaluate how to implement a digital workflow for enhanced treatment planning and patient experience.

The pH Party in Your Mouth that You Weren't Invited To Presenter: Shannon Nanne, RDH Sponsor: VOCO America CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

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.

Elevating Patient’s Experience During an Interproximal Reduction Procedure Presenter: Gory Cottinini Sponsor: GC America CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Discover the differences between automatic and manual interproximal reduction. In the last 20 years there has been a major development in the use of clear aligners and functional concepts applied to orthodontic treatments, both on children and adult patients. A key element is interproximal enamel reduction, a fundamental practice to recover the interproximal space in order to facilitate teeth movement in orthodontic treatments and to insure clean and accurate procedures in Class II patients especially dealing in the posterior sectors. The main technology contributing, not only to obtaining excellent results, but to raise the level of care and protection towards patients is automatic IPR, helping clinicians to maintain excellent control, avoid over-reductions, avoid severe damages and excessive pressure applied to the patient during treatment; all factors that manual or obsolete techniques may cause.
