Dental Implants – Parts, Pieces, Chemistry, and Compatibility Reserve Seat Presenter: Lynn Pencek, RDH, MS CE Supporter: VOCO America Wed  7/16/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  7/16/25    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

We are 40 years since Professor Branemark introduced his research on osseointegration to the dental community. Dental Implants provide our patients with successful long-term restorative solutions for function, comfort, and aesthetics. Today, Dental Hygienists are seeing more patients with dental implants. Implant manufacturers have introduced new implant designs, surfaces, and surface chemistry that affect biocompatibility and maintenance protocols. There are concerns about what materials we use to reduce peri-implant inflammation, may negatively affect the implant surface's biocompatibility and the implant’s long-term success. This CE webinar will review dental implant component materials and design and the biological compatibility of commonly used instruments, technology, and therapeutic materials.

Smiles in Sickle Cell Care: Preventive Dental Hygiene Strategies for Enhanced Health Reserve Seat Presenter: Linda Chandler-Jacobs, BS, RDH CE Supporter: VOCO America Wed  8/6/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  8/6/25    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) or the Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) face unique challenges when they need dental treatment. Unfortunately, many dental professionals know very little about sickle cell disease and are not aware of the clinical manifestations and precautions that should be taken when treating these patients. Sickle cell disease severely affects oral health including increased risk of infections, severe dental decay caused by vaso-occlusal neglect, delayed healing and bone density issues. Sickle cell disease is the most prevalent genetic disease affecting approximately 7.7 million people worldwide of all nationalities. Participants of this webinar will gain insights into the unique oral health challenges faced by individuals with SCD and the importance of preventive care in mitigating these risks. The CE webinar will cover essential preventive dental hygiene practices, tailored treatment planning, and communication strategies to effectively support this patient population. By focusing on initiative-taking oral health care, the webinar aims to enhance the quality of life and overall health outcomes for individuals with Sickle Cell Disease, addressing both their physical and emotional well-being.

The pH Party in Your Mouth that You Weren't Invited To Reserve Seat Presenter: Shannon Nanne, RDH CE Supporter: VOCO America Wed  9/17/25    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  9/17/25    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) affects your quality of life and your overall health. The ability to safely swallow is vital for adequate nutrition and hydration, and it prevents foods and liquids from entering your lungs, where they can cause pneumonia. Depending on which part of the swallowing process is affected, dysphagia can be described as:
• Oral dysphagia — when the problem is in the mouth, usually due to the movement of the tongue
• Pharyngeal or oropharyngeal dysphagia — when the problem is regarding food passing through the throat
• Esophageal dysphagia — when food is unable to move down through the esophagus

Swallowing disorders can lead to tooth decay and other oral health issues if they cause food or liquid to remain in the mouth. This can increase the risk of cavities and other oral diseases. ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )

There are some dentists who boldly (or quietly) love and respect a different material, but for all the rest, who say, “Yeah, but…” there must be another way. Imagine a clinical day without recurrent decay…there is a way! At the end of this CE webinar, participants should be able to:
• Contrast ormocers from composites and glass ionomers
