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.

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is an increasingly utilized adjunctive technology in modern dentistry. This introductory CE webinar provides dental professionals with a foundational understanding of the science, safety, and clinical applications of red light therapy in the dental setting. Participants will explore the biological mechanisms of red and near-infrared light, review current evidence supporting its use, and examine the top five dental procedures where red light therapy may be incorporated to support healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance patient comfort. Emphasis is placed on clinical indications, safety considerations, and practical integration into daily dental practice. This webinar is designed to equip dental professionals with the knowledge necessary to evaluate the role of red light therapy as part of comprehensive, patient-centered dental care.

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

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.

The Injection Molding Technique: Achieving Predictable, Aesthetic Composite Veneers
Presenter: Dr. Melissa Seibert
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
This CE webinar will guide clinicians through a modern, evidence-based approach to creating beautiful composite veneers using the injection molding technique. Participants will learn how to integrate digital smile design into their workflow to plan esthetic outcomes with intention and accuracy. The webinar will cover case selection, template fabrication, material handling, and step-by-step clinical execution to ensure highly esthetic, minimally invasive results. Dr. Melissa Seibert will also discuss the evolving category of injectable composites - clarifying their indications, advantages, and limitations - to help clinicians make confident material and technique choices that elevate their esthetic dentistry.







Symbiosis - Isolation and Bonding
Presenter: Dr. Sara Kuckhoff
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
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







Alternative DME Materials Such as a Dual Cured Material to Help Raise the Box
Presenter: Dr. Patrick Calalang
Sponsor: Bisco
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Deep Marginal Elevations (DME) can be very technique sensitive. Often times if the curing light cannot reach the restorative material due to sheer depth, we must come up with an alternative solution. Dual cured restorative materials have answered that puzzle. Dual cured materials are often misunderstood in the daily routine of a restorative dentist. This is mainly due to the clinician’s high comfort level with traditional light cured composite resins as their “go-to” material. During this CE webinar, I will explain the different mechanics between light cured versus dual cured materials and the role each has on stresses created and the impact on bonding. Then I will give a step by step systematic approach in using a dual cured material to obtain predictable and repeatable results when performing DME procedures. Finally, I will show clinical examples of Deep Marginal Elevations with dual cured materials and tips and tricks help obtain the desired result.
