Join Dr. Ed McLaren for an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in next-generation zirconia materials and restorative workflows. Discover how recent innovations in zirconia technology are redefining esthetics, efficiency, and clinical performance through advanced material engineering. Learn how an optimized microstructure delivers exceptional translucency-even with accelerated firing protocols-while maintaining high flexural strength and lifelike optical properties that closely mimic natural dentition.
This CE webinar will examine the complete restorative workflow, from digital design and material selection to milling, sintering, characterization, and final finishing. In addition, Dr. McLaren will review evidence-based preparation designs and cementation protocols that optimize restoration longevity, fit, and esthetic outcomes across a wide range of clinical indications, from minimally invasive veneers to full-arch zirconia restorations. Attendees will gain practical insights they can immediately apply to improve efficiency, predictability, and patient satisfaction in ever

We have all had the experience of a painful crown delivery appointment. The pain isn’t referring to the patient’s experience...it’s referring to ours! As we grind on the interproximal contacts and the occlusal surfaces, we casually blame the laboratory: "They left it fat and high again!" Unfortunately, most of the time we need to turn our criticisms inward and recognize the provisional is most often the problem. It becomes an afterthought in our indirect restoration appointment, but it's incredibly important to the restorative process. Whether it be a single unit or 12 veneers, we need to be able to fabricate excellent provisionals. This CE webinar will discuss workflows to make the provisional process a breeze.

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway–inflammation–periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits. Dental hygienists will gain practical tools for recognizing airway-related red flags, implementing simple screening strategies within their scope, communicating findings confidently with patients, and integrating prevention-based periodontal care models that support long-term stability.

Creating a beautiful direct composite veneer is about more than achieving the right shape and shade. The details that ultimately make a restoration feel natural are often found in the final stages: surface texture, characterization, anatomy, light reflection, and the subtle imperfections that allow the dentistry to blend seamlessly with the surrounding dentition. In this CE webinar, Dr. Drew Ballard will share his approach to characterization and texture in direct composite resin veneers, demonstrating how he takes a restoration from simply well-shaped to natural and lifelike. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how intentional surface anatomy and characterization influence the way composite interacts with light, along with practical techniques that can be incorporated into everyday anterior composite cases. The goal is not to create a “perfect” tooth—it is to create dentistry that disappears.

To provide patients with the best adhesive restorative dentistry, we are required to have absolute isolation and a firm understanding of bonding principles. Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be able to:
• Understand the importance of rubber dam isolation
• Be familiar with the basics of isolation
• Understand the fundamental principles of bonding
This practical, case-based CE webinar provides an in-depth look at how to successfully implement resin infiltration in your practice. We’ll discuss lesion assessment, effective techniques, the role of pre-whitening in esthetic results, and what sets resin infiltration apart from traditional approaches. You’ll learn from real clinical cases, including both successes and failures, to refine your approach and optimize patient outcomes. This webinar will provide actionable insights to elevate your confidence and results.
Modern vital pulp therapy doesn’t need to be complicated. This clinically focused CE webinar highlights today’s most reliable pulp therapy materials and practical approaches for managing the pulp in primary teeth and young permanent dentition. Dr. Carla Cohn guides the dental team through predictable, evidence-based pulpotomy techniques to improve outcomes, reduce stress chairside, and enhance confidence in everyday pediatric care.

In this episode, we take a real-world, no-hype look at what it actually takes for general dentists to succeed with aligners. We talk about why our guest first brought clear aligner therapy into his practice, the game-changing role of mentorship, common mistakes that can derail cases, and practical clinical pearls—especially when it comes to attachments and case selection. Our guest is Dr. Avi Patel, general dentist and founder of Clear Aligner Advisor. He’s helped hundreds of dentists successfully integrate aligner therapy into their practices through hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world implementation support.

Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe

According to our guest, Dr. Mauricio Watanabe, a world-respected speaker and clinician, by using a highly filled nano-composite to fabricate the crown, the same material we use for our deep margin elevation and filling in our undercuts, a semi-direct full coverage restoration will provide long-term predictable success. And Dr. Watanabe has years of cases and research to support his opinion. The whole procedure can be done in 30 minutes when pouring your impression with a fast setting silicone material. So if you're looking to practice conservative dentistry and preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible and still deliver a full coverage crown, you might find the semi-direct restoration an excellent option for many of your large caries cases. Dr. Lauren Rainey, a well-respected clinician and KOL will also be joining us.
