Additive Restorative Dentistry: A Minimal and Non-Invasive Approach to Dental Care
Presenter: Dr. Abdi Sameni CE Supporter: GC America
The traditional current model in dentistry, influenced primarily by third party payers, offers only a “reactive” approach to restorative care. Most if not all conservative minimally & non-invasive treatment options are typically not “covered” expenses; and when they are, they are reimbursed at a rate that makes them unrealistic. In this CE webinar a more “proactive” approach will be presented to better serve the patient population and to enhance the practices ability to operate more independently and profitably without the interference of third parties.

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!

Anterior Discolorations: Resin Infiltration and Microabrasion – When, Where, and How
Presenter: Dr. Nathaniel Lawson and Dr. Augusto Robles CE Supporter: DMG America
Surface and sub-surface enamel discolorations may bring a patient into the office for esthetic treatment. Traditional treatment for these lesions could involve composite resins or ceramic veneers. More conservative options are available for removing minimal tooth structure that do not involve bonding restorative materials which need to be replaced over time. Microabrasion is a technique which removes up to 100 microns of the outer layer of enamel. Resin infiltration is a new technique which removes some of the outer layer of enamel and then infiltrates an unfilled resin into the space. This CE webinar will describe both techniques and how to use them in combination.

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.
