Provisional restorations are a vital diagnostic and assessment tool. Function, color, shape, contour, occlusion, periodontal response, implant healing, and overall esthetics can be assessed with a well made provisional restoration. Accurate fit and margins are essential. Many clinicians make their provisionals utilizing bisacryl material and a pre-made stent. Lab made provisionals that are re-lined are also used. Printing your provisionals can save both time and money. Producing esthetic, well fitting, functional provisional restorations can be simply and efficiently done with your in-office 3D printer.

Fibre-Reinforced Direct Bridges: New Techniques for Success
Presenter: Dr. Marvin Chacon CE Supporter: VOCO America
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.

If we can get abs in 7 minutes why can't we beat that time for a crown prep!? Our patients love us for the relationships we build with them, not for our crown margins. But what if we can deliver precise and EFFICIENT crown preps, conserve tooth structure, and give them a restoration that can last decades? Ultimately, they will love that too!
This CE webinar underscores the crucial role of comprehensive knowledge about dental products, particularly for patients with pre-existing health conditions that could be aggravated by specific ingredients. The absence of this understanding could precipitate allergic manifestations, medicinal contraindications, and even acute medical emergencies. This curriculum provides participants with a thorough comprehension of dental product ingredients, their possible adverse effects, and strategies to mitigate these risks in routine clinical practice. Through a scientific lens, it enables healthcare providers to better manage patient health by considering the potential impacts of dental product ingredients on various disease states.
73 million Americans make up the Baby Boomer generation, and they will all be over the age of 65 by the year 2030.

This CE webinar will review key points to obtaining an esthetic result while observing minimally invasive protocols.
Dentistry is continually changing, and that includes oral cancers. Current evidence reveals that the Human Papillomavirus/HPV now causes more oropharyngeal cancer than cervical cancer and is responsible for approximately 80% of oropharyngeal cancers. It’s essential that dental professionals share important information about HPV and oropharyngeal cancer, not only with their patients but also with their family and friends. In this content rich CE webinar, join oral cancer coach Susan Cotten BS, RDH, OMT, we discuss HPV, the signs and symptoms associated with oropharyngeal cancer, and the critical role a comprehensive screening has in early detection. Attendees will leave inspired, ready to share information about HPV and give their dental team and patients something to talk about to increase early detection and save lives!
Achieve success in creating lasting indirect restorations as a clinician. Emphasizing proactive case planning and meticulous preparation with the right tools is essential for favorable outcomes. Proficiently capturing both digital and traditional impressions ensures precise communication with the lab, contributing to well-fitted restorations. Master the final bonding and cementation processes to attain excellent results in your clinical practice.
The secrets to long lasting restorations are partially under our control and partially determined by attributes within the materials used. Strength is important. Lower levels of shrinkage are key. But so are preparation guidelines, minimizing water and saliva contamination, as well as occlusal forces. Dr. Peter Auster analyzes the benefits of some of today’s best composites as well as ways to optimize their lifetime.
