This isn’t your typical composite webinar. Dr. John Gammichia, a full-time private practice dentist, practices in the real world - where patients fracture cusps and can’t always afford a build-up and onlay or crown. So what’s the solution - extract the tooth? Or consider a beautifully executed 2-, 3-, 4-, or even 5-cusp composite restoration?
We’ll begin with foundational Class I and Class II restorations, reviewing adhesion principles and current biomimetic concepts. From there, we’ll build your skills and confidence. How do you approach large restorations? Deep decay? Cases that are both extensive and deep? What about cracks?
We’ll also address the practical concerns: What are the barriers to practicing this way? Do these restorations last? Can this approach be profitable?
This CE webinar will be engaging and thought-provoking but expect to be pushed outside your comfort zone. Dr. Gammichia intends to challenge your thinking. By the end, you’ll be saying, "Holy Cow! I Didn't Know You Could do that with Composite.

Achieving compliant dental unit waterlines (DUWL) requires more than random maintenance; it requires a disciplined, repeatable strategy. This CE webinar provides a comprehensive breakdown of the proven Test, Shock, and Maintain protocol, designed to ensure your practice meets or exceeds CDC and EPA standards for water quality. Participants will learn why testing is the critical first step in any protocol—identifying hidden biofilm loads before they lead to failure. We will explore the technical nuances of shocking to clear existing contamination and the daily importance of maintaining lines to prevent regrowth. Integrating these steps into a unified system that simplifies compliance and protects patients ensures long-term clinical success.

The difference between Biomimetic/Natural and conventional dentistry is that biomimetic attempts to duplicate the missing tooth structure with restorative materials that match their natural physical properties. A key aspect of this is to dramatically reduce stress on the adhesive materials so they can provide long-term use and durability for direct and indirect restorations. If clinical techniques have high-stress then the bonds will be low, conversely, if the clinical techniques have low-stress then the bonds will be high and more likely to succeed. This CE webinar will discuss and illustrate low-stress, high-bond techniques for direct composites as well as techniques on blending and highlighting your restorations. Key clinical tips will be shown to increase the esthetics of direct composites.

We’ve all seen the headlines – “Fluoride is Poison”, “Fluoride Decreases IQ”, “Fluoride is an Industrial Waste”. Apart from stirring up public discussion, this type of press may result in new challenges for practicing clinicians. Historically, the biggest push back to varnish was and still may be cost but how do you handle the health concerns a patient may have? As tough as these questions are, at least they mean there is room for discourse! As you know, some patients might outright refuse and not be open to conversation.
In this CE webinar, we will explore how to overcome fluoride hesitancy among patients with practical recommendations you can implement into your everyday routine. We’ll review current, high-quality research that clearly demonstrates the safety and benefits of fluoride, while also sharing practical communication strategies to help you address patient concerns, rebuild trust, and continue advancing prevention in your practice. With the removal of systemic fluorides, the dental hygiene community is on the front line in caries prevention.

The stress of day to day practice does not always allow us to introduce new materials into to our daily routines. Fear of failure and extensive learning curves often leave dentists stuck with materials that are not current and/or materials that may not work as well as a modern advancement. In this CE webinar, join us as we explore a new/updated restorative material and how it not only can change the way we practice but also how it benefits our patients.

This CE webinar explores how in-office 3D printing is transforming modern dental practices by streamlining workflows, reducing overhead costs, and enhancing patient care. Attendees will learn how to integrate 3D printing for the production of dental models, custom nightguards, and provisional restorations with speed, accuracy, and reliability. Through real-world examples and practical implementation tips, the session will highlight how digital production can drive measurable ROI, improve chairside efficiency, and offer patients more convenient treatment options — all while maintaining high clinical standards.
More and more, dental hygienists are expected to select the most accurate CDT procedure codes for the medically necessary treatment they provide to patients. Since the ADA’s Code Maintenance Committee meets yearly, those procedures and their descriptors can either be amended, deleted, or stay the same. The CE webinar will discuss the changes (or not) and additions/deletions which came on January 1, 2025. Some of the new and updated dental procedure codes will include revisions and additions to implant maintenance procedures, long requested by hygienists. In addition, more and more caries management products are being developed and how to know which code is the most appropriate. And what procedure code for desiccation therapy? A total of 10 new codes, 8 revised codes and 2 deleted codes will be presented.
Providing same day dentistry is rapidly becoming the standard of care and, to be honest, it helps achieve a high level of predictability and profitability in private practice. Understanding the diversity in scanners and scanning techniques, material choices and digital workflow can still be quite challenging even for the more experienced digital dentist. More importantly, clinicians need to understand how to unlock the power of same day dentistry to increase their profitability while decreasing their chair time requirements and unpredictability of deliverables ultimately improving their return on investment. This CE webinar will share practical information of how same day dentistry plays an integral part in a practice and its best uses of application. Discussion will be considered for the restorative workflow and material selections.

So there are quite a few materials to choose from these days when it comes to our indirect restorations. Today we'll be talking about the popular ones and we'll also be discussing how we get them to stay on the tooth, meaning, do we go adhesive or cohesive and what are some of the materials we should be considering. To tell us all about is our guest Dr. Alex Vasserman, a practicing dentist in NYC.

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.

Today we’ll explore why direct composite procedures are quickly becoming a preferred alternative to traditional indirect restorations—and how you can use hybrid techniques like deep margin elevation and model-based composite crowns to deliver exceptional results without prepping away valuable tooth structure or sending cases to the lab. Joining us are two experienced clinicians, Dr Lauren Rainey and Dr Mauricio Watanabe. They will share how the use of highly filled nanocomposite materials in their techniques are transforming the way they restore teeth—and why patients are loving the results.
