Inflammation Without Borders - The Pathway of Oral Inflammation to Systemic Disease Reserve Seat Presenter: Jo-Anne Jones CE Supporter: Philips Oral Healthcare Thu  10/1/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/1/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

We’ve heard it all before, however what are we doing about it? Strong evidence continues to reinforce that what begins as inflammation in the mouth greatly influences disease progression in other organs and systems throughout the body. This CE webinar will explore the biologic pathways linking the compromised oral environment to systemic disease. It’s time to recognize our critical role in early identification, prevention, patient education, and intervention strategies that support both oral and systemic health outcomes. Emerge with efficient, patient-centered communication tools that translate into meaningful opportunities to convey the impact of compromised oral health on systemic well-being.

Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease – Part 2 Reserve Seat Presenter: LD Coaching CE Supporter: VOCO America Thu  10/8/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/8/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway–inflammation–periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits. Dental hygienists will gain practical tools for recognizing airway-related red flags, implementing simple screening strategies within their scope, communicating findings confidently with patients, and integrating prevention-based periodontal care models that support long-term stability.

Biofilm Management in Modern Periodontal and Peri-Implant Therapy Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Andrea Ravidà CE Supporter: EMS Dental Mon  10/19/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Mon  10/19/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Modern periodontal and peri-implant therapy is increasingly guided by biologically driven, minimally invasive principles aimed at effective biofilm disruption while preserving hard and soft tissues. The integration of piezoelectric instrumentation and air-polishing technologies allows clinicians to tailor biofilm management strategies according to the specific clinical indication.

This CE webinar will describe the application of thin piezoelectric instrumentation for minimally invasive non-surgical periodontal therapy. The role of subgingival air polishing in the management of peri-implant mucositis will be discussed, with an emphasis on effective biofilm disruption while preserving implant surface integrity. In more advanced peri-implant disease, supra- and submucosal air-polishing approaches will be illustrated as part of a structured therapeutic protocol.

Through clinical cases and protocol-based workflows, the webinar will demonstrate how the appropriate selection and integration of these technologies, guided by biological rationale and disease severity, can enhance precision, tissue preservation, and long-term periodontal and peri-implant stability.

When Patients Understand Their Disease, Prevention Changes - AI's Role in Diagnosis and Communication Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Adam Burr CE Supporter: Philips Oral Healthcare Mon  12/7/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Tue  12/8/26    0:00 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

When patients do not clearly understand their disease, preventive recommendations can feel optional rather than urgent. Emerging artificial intelligence technologies are changing this dynamic by helping clinicians identify disease earlier and communicate those findings more clearly during the patient conversation.

Participants will learn how emerging artificial intelligence tools are improving both disease recognition and clinical communication in modern dental practice. The CE webinar will also discuss practical strategies for incorporating these tools into everyday patient conversations, strengthening preventive recommendations, and connecting professional care with effective daily home-care routines.

What Does Science Tell Us About Fluoride Varnish? Presenter: Shelley Brown, MEd, BSDH, AS, RDH, FADHA CE Supporter: Centrix Release Date: 8/24/26 Expiration Date: 8/24/29 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

We are all familiar with fluoride varnish but in today's environment of fluoride hesitancy, misinformation, and marketing noise, it's easy to lose sight of the science that makes it so effective. To continue delivering the highest standard of preventive care, clinicians need a clear understanding of what actually happens after varnish is applied and why those mechanisms matter clinically. This CE webinar takes a closer look at the science behind fluoride varnish, including fluoride uptake, fluorapatite formation, and the role prolonged contact time plays in long-term enamel protection. We'll also explore how varnish formulations behave on the tooth surface and what clinicians should consider when selecting a varnish for their patients.

Bonding to Primary Teeth: Why It’s Harder and How to Make It Work Presenter: Dr. Ryan Cormack CE Supporter: Bisco Release Date: 4/23/26 Expiration Date: 4/23/29 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Bonding procedures that perform reliably in permanent teeth can be less predictable when applied to primary teeth. Many clinicians experience frustrations such as early sealant loss, marginal breakdown of pediatric restorations, and bonding failures that seem difficult to explain. Differences in enamel structure, dentin composition, and the clinical conditions commonly encountered in pediatric dentistry create unique challenges for achieving durable adhesion. As a result, clinicians often face issues such as reduced sealant retention, restoration failure, and sensitivity to moisture contamination during pediatric bonding procedures. This CE webinar examines the structural and chemical differences between primary and permanent teeth and how those differences influence adhesive performance. Participants will review the science behind enamel etching, dentin bonding, and hybrid layer formation in primary teeth, along with practical strategies to improve bond reliability in everyday pediatric practice. The webinar will also explore common causes of bonding failure and practical techniques that help clinicians achieve more consistent outcomes. Real-world protocols will be discussed for managing moisture contamination, optimizing etch patterns, and selecting adhesive materials that support reliable bonding in young patients. Attendees will gain practical insights that can improve restoration longevity, enhance sealant retention, and reduce clinical frustration when bonding to primary teeth.

Chairside Challenges, Lifelong Smiles: Dental Care for the Aging Adult Presenter: Sonya Dunbar, RDH CE Supporter: VOCO America Release Date: 4/14/26 Expiration Date: 4/14/29 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Oral health for older adults is an increasingly significant challenge in dentistry today. As people age, their risk of developing caries, periodontal disease, and other oral health complications rises. This heightened risk is often exacerbated by systemic health conditions, polypharmacy, and decreased dexterity, which can impact daily hygiene practices. Unlike younger populations, older adults face unique barriers, including complex medical histories, cognitive decline, and notable changes in insurance coverage after retirement. These factors not only affect their access to dental care but also influence how treatments must be planned and delivered. This evidence-based CE webinar equips dental professionals with practical strategies to enhance the quality of care for older adults in dental office settings. Participants will learn to identify the specific caries risk factors associated with aging patients, apply preventive and minimally invasive management strategies, and adjust treatment protocols for medically fragile individuals. The webinar will also address the impact of changing insurance structures after retirement on access to care, as well as how dental teams can navigate these challenges to provide effective and patient-centered outcomes.
