A step by step digital workflow to improve success rates on single and multiple-unit tooth and implant restorations will be presented. The main objective of this CE webinar is to show how treatment time optimization and better clinical outcomes are possible with the implementation of digital tools. This webinar will show how to collect patient's initial data to create the "Digital Clone", discussing key points from photography setups to intraoral scanning tips and tricks for better communication with the dental laboratory. Design and fabrication of highly esthetic provisional and definitive restorations with 3D printed and milled material options will be explained to improve clinical efficiency on tooth and implant-supported restorations.

Modern periodontal and peri-implant therapy is increasingly guided by biologically driven, minimally invasive principles aimed at effective biofilm disruption while preserving hard and soft tissues. The integration of piezoelectric instrumentation and air-polishing technologies allows clinicians to tailor biofilm management strategies according to the specific clinical indication.
This CE webinar will describe the application of thin piezoelectric instrumentation for minimally invasive non-surgical periodontal therapy. The role of subgingival air polishing in the management of peri-implant mucositis will be discussed, with an emphasis on effective biofilm disruption while preserving implant surface integrity. In more advanced peri-implant disease, supra- and submucosal air-polishing approaches will be illustrated as part of a structured therapeutic protocol.
Through clinical cases and protocol-based workflows, the webinar will demonstrate how the appropriate selection and integration of these technologies, guided by biological rationale and disease severity, can enhance precision, tissue preservation, and long-term periodontal and peri-implant stability.

Two colleagues discuss recent advancements in technology-driven approaches to moving and reshaping teeth. Direct-printed clear aligner therapy is being adopted by a growing number of practitioners in both orthodontic and general practice settings. Dr. Vargo, a seasoned orthodontist, shares how printed aligners have influenced his daily treatment decisions and how this category of appliance differs from thermoformed systems currently available. Dr. Shaw, a general dentist of 25 years who recently incorporated printed aligner therapy into his practice, discusses the clinical outcomes he has observed. Together they review how they evaluate which cases carry a high probability of success and how they approach limiting treatment times and revisions. They also address referral relationships between general practice and orthodontics, and a team-based approach to case generation.
Dr. Shaw will also cover minimally invasive cosmetic veneer technique using a custom, digitally designed 3D-printed matrix to injection mold chairside composite veneers - a technique he has used for nearly a decade. He will review the current generation of this matrix technology and discuss workflow considerations for no-prep and minimal-prep composite veneers, including factors relevant to clinicians new to the technique.

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.

Unsightly congenital enamel defects from molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and trauma can be troublesome for many patients. Historically, these blemishes have been treated with invasive and costly resin bondings and veneers. Dealing with enamel defects can prove particularly troublesome for young patients, which when left untreated, often become a source of embarrassment for the patient. This CE webinar will review tips and tricks to manage these enamel defects with resin infiltration. This noninvasive approach can improve or even completely reverse the appearance of congenital enamel defects while preserving tooth structure and repairing the patient’s natural enamel.
It seems so easy doesn’t it? Yet most people struggle with one or more aspects of direct composites. In this CE webinar, join us as we break down the common areas that we struggle with and explain simple solutions to those problems.
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.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring the transformative role technology plays in elevating the patient experience—helping create more meaningful interactions, better outcomes, and stronger trust in the care being delivered. When dental hygienists actively engage with cutting-edge technology and the clinical tools that come with it, they not only improve patient education, case acceptance, and compliance, but also help streamline insurance claim approvals and enhance overall clinical efficiency. In doing so, many hygienists gain a renewed perspective on their profession—often leading to greater career fulfillment and satisfaction. Our guest is Alicia Murria, RDH, with a masters in dental hygiene. She can be reached at aliciamurria.com.

Dentists face significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, and burnout than the general population—and it’s something we don’t talk about enough. Our guest today is Dr. Joshua Austin, a full-time restorative dentist. He lectures nationally and internationally on clinical dentistry and mental health. Dr. Austin understands the pressures of operating a dental practice firsthand. After going through a period of intense stress, he realized something had to change. He made the decision to rebuild—not just his practice, but his life. Today, we’re going to hear that story—the struggles, the wake-up call, and the intentional steps he took to find joy in dentistry again.

Hygiene has always been viewed as important in dentistry—but what if it’s actually the most underutilized growth engine in the entire practice and the key to elevating the overall patient experience? On today’s episode, we’re unpacking what it really means to optimize the hygiene department and how that shows up in a dentist’s day-to-day life when it’s done right. Because when hygiene is empowered to do more, patients don’t just feel “cleaned”—they feel educated, cared for, and connected to the practice. Our guest is Tiffany Wuebben, RDH and Founder and CEO of The Hygienepreneur.
