Hygiene Vital Signs: The Heart of a Healthy Dental Practice Presenter: Camille Luke, RDH, MSDH Sponsor: Premier Dental Thu  6/1/23    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  6/1/23    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

The hygiene department plays a major role in the health of a practice, some may even say it is the heart of a dental practice. Knowing and improving your hygiene department vital signs can be critical to overall practice success. Hygienists are in unique positions, typically having the most one-on-one contact with the patients. They are typically first in line to present the benefits of preventive, restorative or aesthetic dentistry, providing suggestions and assisting with the decision process, setting the stage for case acceptance. Besides the direct patient care and helping patients understand the best treatment for their wants or conditions, there is also the business side of the profession – what does hygiene contribute to the financial success of the practice? A hygienist who understands the value of their position, the hygiene vital signs and thus the business side of their department can then be prepared for discussions with their employer regarding incorporation of new technology or even wage increases. This CE webinar will provide the participant with the tools and techniques to identify the vital signs of a health hygiene department, show how a successful hygienist can help improve the health of the practice, the health of the patients and promote the value they bring to the table.

Less is More. Minimally Invasive LESS-ons Presenter: Dr. Clarence Tam Sponsor: VOCO America Thu  6/1/23    8:30 PM ET    5:30 PM PT Fri  6/2/23    0:30 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

In this CE webinar, we will review digital and analog shading techniques for direct and indirect restorations. The need to blend as well as maximize bond strength drives modifications in both preparation approach and material depending on the intra-arch and intra-tooth position and size. Controlling tooth position especially when balancing spaces with pre-prosthetic orthodontics is critical, especially when a maxillary lateral incisor is involved.

Caries Risk Management for Modern Dental Professionals Presenter: Kerry Lepicek, RDH Sponsor: VOCO America Tue  6/6/23    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Tue  6/6/23    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Did you know nearly all cavities are preventable? Kerry will show you how implementing CAMBRA (Caries Management by Risk Assessment) can shift the focus in your practice from restorative surgical procedures to risk assessment and treatment of the biofilm and bacteria. Our profession needs to focus on the cause of the problem and identify treatment solutions to control, remineralize and repair caries. We need to recognize caries risk factors and offer risk management strategies. In this CE webinar, learn about tools, products and technology that can help your patients, as well as enhance your assessment skills. Kerry will show you how to add a caries management program into a modern dental practice.

Preservational Prosthetic Strategies: Posterior Focus Presenter: Dr. Clarence Tam Sponsor: VOCO America CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Posterior restoration success has much to do with the principles in primary anatomy that are often focused on and restricted to only anterior teeth. The art of layering posterior composites is not only a functional art, it reflects our desire to mimic nature in esthetics also in our practice of Bio-Emulation. Conversely, there are anatomical features of anterior teeth that are often neglected, just because they are out of direct frontal sight. When are teeth "too weak" for some restorative materials? How does one dial in the occlusion to maximize success using modern direct materials some never thought possible to use in extensive applications? How can we humanely and successfully place large restorations with a conservative slant in youngsters with massive structural deficits? What are the keys to success in posterior bonding besides esthetic? How do we minimize post-operative sensitivity and marginal leakage? How do we maximize shear bond strengths to the substrate, much of which is "unpredictable" dentin? We will review curing strategies for best long-term clinical success.
