This CE webinar will look at the philosophy of both biologic dentistry, which seeks to offer patients the most biocompatible restorative materials, and biomimetic dentistry, a type of tooth-conserving dentistry that treats weak, fractured, and decayed teeth in a way that keeps them strong and sealed from bacterial invasion.
Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Today we have a special guest, Stanley Bergman, the Chairman of the Board and CEO of Henry Schein. Many of us are quite familiar with Henry Schein and rely on its broad array of products, equipment, services and expertise to help us run our practices on a day to day basis. Stan will discuss several timely topics including dental technology, practice management, the current pandemic and more!
It would be difficult to find another technique in dentistry that has as much evidence as sealants to prevent and arrest dental caries. But is placing a sealant an ultra-simple procedure that doesn’t require much skill or precision? If your sealants seem more like custom fitted plaque traps than highly effective decay prevention, don’t miss this opportunity to re-think your sealing materials and techniques.
Implant dentistry can be complicated and overwhelming for many general practitioners. However, with the right tools, and the right education, it can be broken down into X manageable steps making the surgery predictable and final results natural looking and functional. In this CE webinar, learn the ideal implant workflow for your first implant cases in this course with 35 year veteran and Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
The purpose of this CE webinar is to provide evidence for the routine use of surgical guides for implant placement and to illustrate the advantages of having those cases be fully restoratively driven. We will discuss a comprehensive strategy to implement this into practice using currently available tools, with an emphasis on speed and efficiency, leading to the possibility of same-appointment planning and surgery. Review of the process will be done step-by-step.

The first step in effective instrument reprocessing for dentistry is the cleaning process. If all debris is not removed from the instruments prior to sterilization, instruments and other items will not be sterile and safe for patient treatment. This CE webinar will look at all aspects of instrument cleaning, from instrument cleaning techniques and devices, to selecting the appropriate equipment and solutions and monitoring equipment for efficacy. CDC guidelines for instrument cleaning will be reviewed, and manufacturer’s instructions for use will be discussed.
