Tue  2/10/26    0:00 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
This CE webinar will cover how AI enhances clinical insights, speeds up digital workflows through faster and more accurate treatment planning, and simplifies compliance with automated 2d and 3d tools and streamlined insurance and DSO documentation.


Composite Confusion to Clinical Clarity: Simplifying Restorative Workflows
Presenter: Dr. Sam Simos
Sponsor: VOCO America

Modern dentistry is drowning in material options - flowables, bulk-fills, esthetics-first composites, universal systems, and more. For many practices, this leads to bloated inventories, training difficulties, and inconsistent outcomes across providers. In this fast-paced, practical CE webinar, we’ll explore how to cut through the noise, simplify your restorative system, and deliver efficient, predictable results using one streamlined material protocol. You’ll also be introduced to a next-generation composite platform designed to cover the full range of anterior and posterior restorations using just five cluster shades and 4mm increments, without compromising esthetics, handling, or long-term durability. Whether you’re leading a DSO or running a solo practice, this webinar will help you reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and standardize care.


Porcelain Restorations and Adhesion to Improve Aesthetics, Function, and Unique Clinical Problems
Presenter: Dr. Nicolas Aguilera
Sponsor: Kuraray Noritake
Thu  2/19/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

Porcelain restorations remain one of the most predictable materials in aesthetics and restorative dentistry. Their success, however, depends entirely on correct case selection, precise clinical execution, and a consistent, evidence-based bonding protocol. This CE webinar will review the fundamental principles of adhesion, contemporary ceramic systems and step-by-step protocols to manage common and complex clinical challenges. Participants will learn how to optimize aesthetics and function with a facial driven approach and mastering the temporaries technique so the master ceramist can replicate it in porcelain restorations. By the end of the webinar, clinicians will have a clear and reproducible workflow for planning, preparing, bonding, and maintaining porcelain restorations with confidence.


Integrating CO2 Laser Technology into your CAD/CAM Workflow
Presenter: Dr. Amarjit Rihal
Sponsor: Convergent Dental
Wed  2/25/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT

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
Presenter: Dr. Todd Snyder
Sponsor: Bisco
Thu  2/26/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
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.

To Cement or Adhere Zirconia: What Are My Options?
Presenter: Dr. Todd Snyder
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
There is a lot of confusion regarding how to connect a zirconia restoration to a tooth. Some of the concepts that will be covered are how do you clean or decontaminate the zirconia to what type of cement to use, and can you actually bond to zirconia? This CE webinar will eliminate confusion of how to best deliver a zirconia restoration with various types of materials and preparation designs so that you can remove all of your questions and concerns so that you can become confident with your materials and techniques.







Precision and Planning: What Implantology Can Learn from Aviation
Presenter: Dr. Rene Ghotanian
Sponsor: Air Techniques
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
On the surface, you might wonder what dentistry and aviation have in common. Dr. Rene Ghotanian, who is both an implantologist and certified pilot, will take you from pre-flight checklists to successful case outcomes which demonstrate how these fields share parallels in rigorous safety protocols, advanced technological adoption for precision and improved patient outcomes, and a focus on continuous innovation to enhance patient experience and treatment effectiveness.







Fundamentals of Clean Water and Air Delivery in Clinical Dental Settings
Presenter: Dr. Marie Fluent
Sponsor: Air Techniques
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Dental utility rooms play a vital role in maintaining infection control standards. The air compressor generates air for handpieces in dental procedures, while the dental unit provides water for general dental procedures. Meanwhile, the high-volume evacuation and central vacuum removes water, aerosols, airborne pathogens and particulates from the operatory field, and aerosols from the operatory. This CE webinar will address the “heart and lungs” of the dental clinic (compressor and vacuum) and how to best ensure that clean hygienic air and clean water is delivered and effectively removed during dental care.

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.

So we're beginning to hear more and more about the benefits of warming composite. For one thing, because of the lower viscosity at the time of application, it's a whole lot easier on your hand. But the real benefit lies in adaptation and we all know that the better adaptation, the less likely we'll see recurrent decay and post-operative sensitivity. To tell us why she loves warming composite and how easy it is to make the transition in your operatory to this technique, is our guest Dr. Lauren Rainey. Dr. Rainey is a regular contributor on Viva Learning.com and currently teaches direct restorative techniques to dentists in the US & Canada.

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.
