To Warm or Not to Warm Composites - What Does the Evidence Say?
Presenter: Dr. Frank Milnar CE Supporter: VOCO America
It is important to warm the material to at least (140°-155°F). A next generation of composite that was designed to be warmed is now available! This new composite category has TVT polymer technology combined with superior nano-hybrid fillers. It can be warmed with a traditional warmer or a new infrared warmer. This CE webinar will review the basics of composite warming and new infrared warmer.

Stress-Less: Product Selections to Relieve Stress for Both the Patient and the Provider
Presenter: Sarah Clark, RDH, IPDH CE Supporter: VOCO America
Dentistry is STRESSFUL! There are two outliers that directly relate to the way we feel when we leave the office for the day - patients and products. Patients pose challenges of their own when presenting with dental anxiety, and when our dental product does not achieve the desired result, this will affect both provider and patient, creating a continual stress cycle. Knowing this, we will look at product selection and practice techniques that work to alleviate stress from the anxious patient, creating relief for the provider. Stress relief is essential to a healthy career and improved patient care. Here’s to less stress! ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )
Flowable Composite Resin in a Variety of Clinical Applications Pediatric Dentistry for the General Dentist
Presenter: Dr. Carla Cohn CE Supporter: VOCO America
Flowable composite resins have long since been used effectively in preventative and restorative pediatric dentistry. But until now their use has been generally limited to sealants and liners. Recent improvements in mechanical properties and availability of different viscosities have changed how we view and use flowable resins. We now have many different flowables with different properties to choose from. Specifically, variations in viscosity lead to different clinical indications. We can now match appropriate viscosity and delivery to appropriate clinical scenario. As a result, flowable resins have a newly increased versatility and usefulness for different restorative situations. This CE webinar will walk through the advantages of different viscosity flowable resins and their indications for use with your pediatric patients. We will study several different clinical cases and choices of material for most effective and efficient use of our materials to best serve our patients.

Composite is a great material that can be used in a multitude of ways with great success. This CE webinar will illustrate the value of the versatility of composite as a restorative material and as a direct restorative option for aesthetics that can change lives in appearance and function. We will begin by discussing composite materials and their attributes. Bonding with some unique materials will be addressed to solve some of dentistry’s puzzling problems. Bleeding and isolation challenges will be addressed. A number of cases will be shown to achieve veneering success and great out-of-the-box thinking for post orthodontic options. Occlusion will be discussed with these unique direct composite cases.
Composite warming techniques have been used for some time in dentistry. New advances in delivery now make this technique simpler and more predictable. This CE webinar will review the science behind warming composites and some of the new advances developed to help clinicians be more efficient and produce exceptional results. Various systems and delivery modalities will be reviewed.
