Face Masks are Your Friends - Wear Them with the Respect They Deserve!
Presenter: Mary Govoni, CDA, RDA, RDH, MBA CE Supporter: Medicom
There is great potential for dental team members to be exposed to infectious diseases while treating patients. Spatter and aerosol present serious threats for respiratory infections.

CAD/CAM Fabricated Complete Dentures: A New Paradigm in Removable Prosthodontics
Presenter: Dr. Nadim Z. Baba CE Supporter: Ivoclar Vivadent
Dentistry has fully embraced the digital age and its integration into one of the oldest treatments in dentistry is proof that it is here to stay. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) of complete dentures was introduced following the success of CAD/CAM in implant and fixed prosthodontics. CAD/CAM complete dentures have seen exponential growth in the dental market with the number of commercially available CAD/CAM denture systems growing every year. Interest in CAD/CAM has also been affected by a reduction in the number of dental laboratory technicians with extensive experience and expertise with traditional fabrication processes. This CE webinar will cover key aspects related to the current status of computer technology for the fabrication of complete dentures and removable partial dentures.

Fluoride Varnish Meeting Individual Needs
Presenter: Patti DiGangi, RDH, BS CE Supporter: VOCO America
Many clinicians do not routinely apply varnish for adult patients. The need for fluoride is not age-based; all ages can benefit. One size does not fit everyone. The American Dental Association (ADA) Council on Scientific Affairs created an evidence-based clinical practice guideline based on a systematic review of current science. The ADA’s Caries Risk Assessment forms are practice tools to help evaluate a patient’s risk of developing caries and guide the practitioner. These work in conjunction with CDT Caries Risk Assessment procedure codes. This CE webinar assists participants to provide the most efficacious treatments based on individual needs.

Totally Simplified Color Matching - Single Shade Direct Composite
Presenter: Dr. Bob Lowe CE Supporter: Tokuyama Dental America
Creating aesthetic direct composite restorations that precisely match existing tooth color is a clinical challenge that can be difficult for even the most experienced clinician. Shades for most composite materials rely upon 1950’s technology – the VITA Lumin Shade Guide. Clinical reality is that many composites do not precisely match the VITA Shade Guide let alone each other! This can be extremely frustrating for the clinician, especially for a patient that is “picky” about aesthetic matching. Having a universal, single-shade composite system that can take the “guesswork” and frustration out of shade selection and match a majority of clinical situations, is something that restorative dentists will welcome! In this CE webinar, you will be introduced to the first of its kind...a truly universal single-shade composite system.

The Art of Efficient Esthetics - Next Generation Composites
Presenter: Dr. Pete Gardell CE Supporter: Ivoclar Vivadent
Predictability and long-term success of posterior composite restorations continue to be a primary concern for many practitioners due to technique sensitive steps required for proper placement. Direct resin restorations can be considered the cornerstone of a restorative dental practice due to the frequency that they are performed. These restorations are also a point of pressure for the dentist due to financial factors, such as down coding from insurance companies; and time issues due to the complexity of the process. New advancements in resin and photo-polymerization technology allow us to simplify these procedures without compromising quality. This CE webinar will focus on proper adhesion protocols and the establishment of proper form and function while meeting the esthetic demands of today’s patients.
