What if you could keep more procedures in-house, reduce referrals, and maximize same-day dentistry? The 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser enables you to perform more high-value procedures—such as gingivectomies, frenectomies, and flapless crown lengthening-by minimizing bleeding, sutures and post-operative pain. Plus, by reducing the need for anesthesia in many cases, you create a more efficient, patient-friendly experience that sets your practice apart. In this CE webinar, join Dr. Jeff Rohde as he explores the clinical, business, and patient benefits of integrating the 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser.
This CE webinar explores the importance of integrating mental health considerations into dental care strategies, focusing on patient-centered approaches to improve outcomes. Key aspects covered include understanding the oral health implications of psychiatric medications, the role of oral health professionals in recognizing signs of mental illness, and the need for tailored dental care plans to accommodate the specific needs of this population. Additionally, preventive strategies, such as establishing oral health routines, regular dental visits, and collaboration between mental health providers and dental professionals, are discussed to enhance care and reduce the long-term risks of dental diseases for those living with mental illness. By fostering a holistic approach to care that addresses both mental and oral health, dental professionals can play a pivotal role in improving the overall well-being of individuals suffering from mental illness. The webinar concludes with recommendations for further research and education to bridge gaps in dental care for this vulnerable population.
Recurrent caries haunt each and every provider at one point or another. Pastes, rinses and home care tools can only go so far - sometimes we need to break the caries cycle at the tooth-restorative interface. This CE webinar will highlight some advances in composite chemistry that marry the convenience of a bulk fill with the smarts of remineralization. Caries risk assessment and adhesive considerations will be covered in detail, as each of these components in addition to our materials, make for more predictable restorative outcomes.
