The cornerstone for dental treatment is to prevent or control infection leading to dental disease. According to the World Health Organization most oral health conditions are largely preventable and can be treated in their early stages. For patients to achieve successful long-term results, it is imperative they receive a customized home care plan that focuses on continued biofilm removal for reduction of inflammation and staving off disease initiation and progression. This CE webinar will address current approaches for prevention that extend beyond the operatory. Dental professionals will walk away with a renewed confidence in their oral health care education sessions and product recommendations.

For most tooth-conserving clinicians and patients, the idea of cutting adjacent teeth for a fixed bridge is unimaginable, considering the collateral damage and possible side effects. Also, for most patients, a fixed implant is vastly more desirable than a removable partial denture. Nevertheless, after 30 years of using dental implants, astute professionals have learned that, in many cases, dental implants are neither less invasive nor free of problems. Due to advances in adhesives and a better understanding on how to use them, better porcelains and manufacturing techniques are making the next generation of bonded bridges predictable. In this CE webinar, Dr. Ruiz will share a variety of prep designs and uses, as well as step-by-step techniques for temporizing and bonding and the latest research on successful zirconia and porcelain adhesion techniques.
