The ABC’s of Adhesive Bonding and Cementation
Presenter: Dr. Thomas Dudney CE Supporter: Bisco
As adhesives and cements continue to evolve, change, and improve, it becomes more difficult for restorative dentists to keep up with the latest advances. With increasingly higher patient expectations for long term clinical success, it is important that dentists have an understanding of these materials in order to make sound decisions on what to use when and why. This CE webinar will discuss the different generations of adhesives and categories of cements including those with bioactive properties. Clinical cases will be shown to demonstrate the use of these adhesives and cements including the proper protocols that must be followed. ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )

When You Get Close to the Pulp, Don’t Let It Spoil Your Day
Presenter: Dr. Scott Coleman CE Supporter: Bisco
The most used materials in today’s general practice are burs, bonding agents, and composites for direct restorations. The evolution of this group of materials, in particular, is amazing. Today’s light cure resins are light years ahead of the materials that we thought were great 20 years ago. The evolution of materials includes base or lining materials when the proximity to the pulp requires some form of pulpal protection. Calcium has been proven to be a critical adjunct to the armamentarium of all general dentists performing routine decay excavation and tooth restoration. This CE webinar is designed for the busy dentist who wants to stay current with the available materials and concepts of efficient placement of tooth-colored restorations. We will discuss what matters most in pulpal protection material selection, depending upon location and occlusal load put on the restoration. Reduction and elimination of post-operative sensitivity will be addressed.

Cements Made Simple: Breaking Down Modern Cementation and Bonding Protocols
Presenter: Dr. Chad Duplantis CE Supporter: VOCO America
With so many choices in materials and available cements, chaos may ensue when deciding to lute or bond each restoration. There has to be a better way to understand and ensure long-term success for our restorations. This CE webinar is designed for the attendee to gain confidence in their cement selection and handling of each restoration.

Mastering Resin Infiltration for Predictable Results
Presenter: Irene Iancu, BSc, RRDH, CTDP, OM CE Supporter: DMG America
This practical, case-based CE webinar provides an in-depth look at how to successfully implement resin infiltration in your practice. We’ll discuss lesion assessment, effective techniques, the role of pre-whitening in esthetic results, and what sets resin infiltration apart from traditional approaches. You’ll learn from real clinical cases, including both successes and failures, to refine your approach and optimize patient outcomes. This webinar will provide actionable insights to elevate your confidence and results.

A New Era in Conservative Esthetic and Adhesive Dentistry
Presenter: Dr. Michael DiTolla CE Supporter: Ivoclar
This CE webinar will examine how technology has made it possible for clinicians to turn any prepped veneer case into a no-prep case, making our treatment much more conservative, and more acceptable to the patient. With today’s high-strength ceramics and adhesive cementation protocols, veneers can be made as thin as 0.3mm, making esthetic no-prep veneers possible, if the teeth are in the correct position and you're utilizing an esthetic, adhesive cement. No-prep veneers are more difficult to seat than prepped veneers or crowns, and a live demonstration will show a seating technique to mitigate those difficulties and the proper cementation protocol to create lasting, esthetic restorations.

Have you noticed the shift in dentistry? Patients expect their dental care to be easier, delivered in a shorter treatment time, and painless. As clinicians, we understand the benefits of conservative restorative approaches and want to promote them at every opportunity. Given the advancement of early diagnostics, minimal intervention becomes even more paramount using cutting-edge technology. This CE webinar will discuss guiding principles for contemporary adhesive preparations using as little intervention as possible utilizing a new roll-out class of minimally invasive dental burs that provide a major impact. Learn how these burs can navigate a variety of current dental materials and tooth anatomy.
The science and technology built into dental composite resins is impressive, but rarely do practitioners (or patients) realize how versatile our materials really can be. Direct placement is the most common approach for composite, but by relying on the material science within, predictable indirect composite restorations can also be life-like, strong and long lasting. Join the co-presenters in this CE webinar as they review cases from North and South America as they compare and contrast uses of composite resin in their daily practice.
We are going to explore strategies for simplifying the Class II restoration process by utilizing efficient preparation techniques, simplified matrix systems, and bonding protocols. Additionally, we will discuss methods for minimizing stress during treatment and achieving exceptional outcomes through proper finishing and polishing techniques to create excellent interproximal contacts.
Whether due to insufficient bone, medical contraindications, financial constraints, or patient preferences, single-tooth implants aren’t the solution for every case. That’s where fiber-reinforced bridges come in. To tell us all about the wonders of fiber-reinforced bridges is our guest, Dr. Marvin Chacon. With over 15 years of clinical dentistry experience, he obtained his Master's in Aesthetic Dentistry from King's College London in 2022. As a clinical trainer and speaker, he focuses on modern dental materials and innovative techniques under the "minimum Intervention" approach.
This CE webinar will provide the pearls for the participants to achieve a higher level of composite artistry with results that can seamlessly replicate the esthetics of natural teeth or even rival the beauty of porcelain restorations by utilizing fundamental learning concepts of blending, shaping and polishing anterior composites restorations that predictably emulates any human tooth morphology found in nature.
Patients present to our offices almost daily with anterior teeth that need restorations, including ones that replace a portion of the tooth that is readily visible to the patient and others. In these cases, we can choose to restore the area with a direct or indirect restoration. Indirect restorations are managed often times by a ceramist, but direct restorations require a thorough knowledge of the material and the understanding of effective layering to achieve a restoration that blends in naturally with the sounding tooth structure. In this CE webinar, we will utilize a restorative material that simplifies the layering techniques to achieve an outstanding result.
Recurrent caries haunt each and every provider at one point or another. Pastes, rinses and home care tools can only go so far - sometimes we need to break the caries cycle at the tooth-restorative interface. This CE webinar will highlight some advances in composite chemistry that marry the convenience of a bulk fill with the smarts of remineralization. Caries risk assessment and adhesive considerations will be covered in detail, as each of these components in addition to our materials, make for more predictable restorative outcomes.

For clinicians interested in learning about these newest materials and equipment, this webinar will help them decide on which of these innovations best fit their needs. Attendees will leave with a valuable understanding on the latest technologies and techniques to take back and implement into daily practice, saving time, minimizing stress and maximizing productivity.
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
Fibre-reinforced direct bridges (FRDB’s) have shown good performance in clinical applications, capable of overcoming functional masticatory loading with a more biomimetic behavior than rigid metallic or full ceramic prostheses. Its retention relies on adhesive capacity which allows a lower tooth structure removal than conventional alternatives, as minimal or no sound tooth structure preparation is needed on the abutment.
