Achieving compliant dental unit waterlines (DUWL) requires more than random maintenance; it requires a disciplined, repeatable strategy. This CE webinar provides a comprehensive breakdown of the proven Test, Shock, and Maintain protocol, designed to ensure your practice meets or exceeds CDC and EPA standards for water quality. Participants will learn why testing is the critical first step in any protocol—identifying hidden biofilm loads before they lead to failure. We will explore the technical nuances of shocking to clear existing contamination and the daily importance of maintaining lines to prevent regrowth. Integrating these steps into a unified system that simplifies compliance and protects patients ensures long-term clinical success.

The difference between Biomimetic/Natural and conventional dentistry is that biomimetic attempts to duplicate the missing tooth structure with restorative materials that match their natural physical properties. A key aspect of this is to dramatically reduce stress on the adhesive materials so they can provide long-term use and durability for direct and indirect restorations. If clinical techniques have high-stress then the bonds will be low, conversely, if the clinical techniques have low-stress then the bonds will be high and more likely to succeed. This CE webinar will discuss and illustrate low-stress, high-bond techniques for direct composites as well as techniques on blending and highlighting your restorations. Key clinical tips will be shown to increase the esthetics of direct composites.

We’ve all seen the headlines – “Fluoride is Poison”, “Fluoride Decreases IQ”, “Fluoride is an Industrial Waste”. Apart from stirring up public discussion, this type of press may result in new challenges for practicing clinicians. Historically, the biggest push back to varnish was and still may be cost but how do you handle the health concerns a patient may have? As tough as these questions are, at least they mean there is room for discourse! As you know, some patients might outright refuse and not be open to conversation.
In this CE webinar, we will explore how to overcome fluoride hesitancy among patients with practical recommendations you can implement into your everyday routine. We’ll review current, high-quality research that clearly demonstrates the safety and benefits of fluoride, while also sharing practical communication strategies to help you address patient concerns, rebuild trust, and continue advancing prevention in your practice. With the removal of systemic fluorides, the dental hygiene community is on the front line in caries prevention.

The stress of day to day practice does not always allow us to introduce new materials into to our daily routines. Fear of failure and extensive learning curves often leave dentists stuck with materials that are not current and/or materials that may not work as well as a modern advancement. In this CE webinar, join us as we explore a new/updated restorative material and how it not only can change the way we practice but also how it benefits our patients.

The days of 35 shades of composite are over and so are the days of composites that stick to everything but teeth. Introducing: bold new composites that do everything better than what we had before. Better handling, better shades, better management of ambient light. These are truly new and the best we’ve ever seen.

All too often, clinicians are stuck in the same sound loop when trying to help our patients take ownership of their disease. And yet, they come back with the same issues appointment after appointment. However, by empowering patients to take control, we can see a significant positive shift in their health management. In this CE webinar, attendees will delve into the common barriers that hinder patient collaboration and discover practical strategies to overcome these challenges. They will also learn how to implement co-diagnosis, enabling patients to actively participate in their own assessment and treatment planning. By integrating these approaches, healthcare providers can enhance patient compliance and outcomes. Understanding the patient's perspective and motivations will lead to more effective communication, greater patient satisfaction, and a more personalized approach to care.
This comprehensive CE webinar explores the unique oral health challenges that arise during key hormonal phases in a woman's life: puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Participants will gain insight into the biological mechanisms behind oral-systemic changes, identify gender-specific risk factors, and learn evidence-based strategies for prevention, treatment, and patient education. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary collaboration, lifespan oral health promotion, and culturally sensitive care for female patients.
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) affects your quality of life and your overall health. The ability to safely swallow is vital for adequate nutrition and hydration, and it prevents foods and liquids from entering your lungs, where they can cause pneumonia. Depending on which part of the swallowing process is affected, dysphagia can be described as:
• Oral dysphagia — when the problem is in the mouth, usually due to the movement of the tongue
• Pharyngeal or oropharyngeal dysphagia — when the problem is regarding food passing through the throat
• Esophageal dysphagia — when food is unable to move down through the esophagus
Swallowing disorders can lead to tooth decay and other oral health issues if they cause food or liquid to remain in the mouth. This can increase the risk of cavities and other oral diseases.

Today we’re talking about direct restorative materials that can truly change the course of your patients’ dental health — and no, not just composite, but glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer. Used strategically, these materials can help patients avoid a lifetime of fillings, crowns, and repeat dental work. And adopting this conservative approach doesn’t mean sacrificing revenue — in fact, building a practice focused on preserving healthy tooth structure attracts patients who value care that’s truly in their best interest. Joining us is Dr. Brian Nový, a leading cariologist at Virginia Commonwealth University with faculty appointments at Harvard and Western University, and a private practice owner in Salem, Massachusetts. He’ll explain how glass ionomer and RMGI bond to teeth, their clinical applications, address concerns about strength and aesthetics, and show how they can transform long-term patient outcomes.

Dr. Miles Cone is a prosthodontist who shares how bringing a 3D printer into his practice has completely transformed the way he works—making things more efficient, productive, and yes, even more profitable. He talks about how this technology has opened the door to doing things differently, from quickly fabricating models and occlusal guards to whitening trays and provisionals—all in-house, and often the same day. He’ll also share what to look for when choosing a printer, and reveal his personal favorite and why. According to Dr. Cone, 3D printing isn’t just the future—it’s a total game-changer in how we practice dentistry today.
