After veneer preparation, success depends on creating aesthetic, functional temporaries and executing a predictable cementation workflow. This CE webinar provides a streamlined, step-by-step approach to both phases. Participants will learn how to fabricate provisional veneers that support tissue healing, function, and aesthetics, while serving as a guide for final restorations. The webinar also outlines an efficient, evidence-based cementation process, including material selection, surface treatment, isolation, try-in, and adhesive bonding techniques. Key materials, clinical techniques, and common pitfalls will be discussed to help improve efficiency, consistency, and long-term outcomes. ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )

Bonding procedures for indirect restorations are among the most technique-sensitive steps in restorative dentistry, and often they are the key difference between predictable longevity and early failure. From ceramic veneers and onlays to full-coverage restorations and post-endodontic build-ups, understanding substrate management, adhesive selection, and proper material handling is critical for long-term success. This CE webinar will break down bonding protocols into clear, practical steps that can be immediately implemented in daily practice. With a special focus on adhesive practices and material selection, this course will explore decision-making for enamel vs. dentin bonding, selective etch protocols, dual-cure compatibility, post cementation considerations, and predictable core build-up techniques. Attendees will gain confidence in simplifying their armamentarium while elevating clinical outcomes through a consistent, evidence-based bonding workflow.
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.
In this CE webinar, we will cover types of cement and types of bonding to gain a better understanding of when to use which system. We will discuss the different types of restorations used in everyday indirect dentistry and learn how to decide whether to cement the restoration or bond the restoration. Review of clinical cementation and bonding protocols to simplify deliveries and create long lasting predictable solutions for your patients.
Veneer longevity is determined by what we bond to and how teeth are prepared - long before cementation begins. This focused CE webinar presents a mock-up–driven veneer workflow, demonstrating how diagnostic planning and preparation design create optimal bonding conditions for predictable esthetics and long-term success. Attendees will gain a clinically practical framework for making bonding and preparation decisions that directly influence veneer performance and durability.
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.
Successful adhesive dentistry depends as much on effective isolation as it does on the bonding system itself. While rubber dam isolation is often considered the gold standard, it is not always practical or feasible in everyday clinical practice. This CE webinar will provide a realistic, evidence-based discussion of isolation and bonding strategies used in real-world restorative dentistry. Participants will compare the advantages and limitations of common isolation techniques, including rubber dam, high-volume evacuation, and alternative isolation methods. The webinar will also focus on practical management of contamination during adhesive procedures, including saliva and blood contamination of tooth preparations. Strategies for cleaning and reconditioning contaminated surfaces will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on integrating isolation systems that improve efficiency, enhance moisture control, and safely manage debris during procedures.
Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate are the 2 most popular current materials for crowns in the US. Although they can looks very similar with their excellent esthetic properties, the materials themselves require different pre-cementation protocols and materials. Understanding the proper way to treat each material before final cementation can effect the long term clinical performance. Additionally, because of the difference in the strength of each material there can be several "best" choices of cements that can be used. This CE webinar is created to discuss and demonstrate the materials, techniques and protocols specific to each material.
It seems so easy doesn’t it? Yet most people struggle with one or more aspects of direct composites. In this CE webinar, join us as we break down the common areas that we struggle with and explain simple solutions to those problems.
Composite restorations are the foundation of modern dentistry, but achieving consistent esthetics, strength, and efficiency remains a daily challenge. This one-hour CE webinar will explore the science behind bulk universal composites and provide practical clinical techniques for anterior and posterior restorations. Participants will gain confidence in handling, shade selection, and finishing strategies to maximize outcomes and efficiency in practice.
Zirconia has established itself as one of the most versatile and reliable materials in contemporary restorative dentistry. With advancements in CAD/CAM technology and speed-sintering protocols, zirconia restorations have become more efficient and predictable than ever before - particularly for implant-supported prosthetics. This evidence-based CE webinar will explore the expanding role of zirconia in modern chairside dentistry, with a special focus on restoring dental implants using the long-awaited hybrid zirconia implant abutment block. This innovative material offers unprecedented versatility, enabling clinicians to design and fabricate either screw-retained or cement-retained implant restorations from a single block.
Participants will gain practical insight into clinical case selection, optimal preparation design, and strategies to streamline the zirconia workflow—from digital impression to finishing and delivery. Emphasis will also be placed on bonding and cementation protocols critical to the long-term success of zirconia restorations.
