More and more, dental hygienists are expected to select the most accurate CDT procedure codes for the medically necessary treatment they provide to patients. Since the ADA’s Code Maintenance Committee meets yearly, those procedures and their descriptors can either be amended, deleted, or stay the same. The CE webinar will discuss the changes (or not) and additions/deletions which came on January 1, 2025. Some of the new and updated dental procedure codes will include revisions and additions to implant maintenance procedures, long requested by hygienists. In addition, more and more caries management products are being developed and how to know which code is the most appropriate. And what procedure code for desiccation therapy? A total of 10 new codes, 8 revised codes and 2 deleted codes will be presented.


Size Does Matter - Bur Selection for Minimally Invasive Restorative Outcomes

Have you noticed the shift in dentistry? Patients expect their dental care to be easier, delivered in a shorter treatment time, and painless. As clinicians, we understand the benefits of conservative restorative approaches and want to promote them at every opportunity. Given the advancement of early diagnostics, minimal intervention becomes even more paramount using cutting-edge technology. This CE webinar will discuss guiding principles for contemporary adhesive preparations using as little intervention as possible utilizing a new roll-out class of minimally invasive dental burs that provide a major impact. Learn how these burs can navigate a variety of current dental materials and tooth anatomy.

This CE webinar will deal with numerous aspects of comprehensive restorative aesthetic dentistry and efficient patient care in today’s dental practice. We will discuss how to make routine dental procedures such as adhesion and direct resins more predictable and efficient using the latest material technologies. Also discussed will be the indirect restoration protocol including preparation design for the current restorative materials and the use of impression materials vs digital technologies.

I Can’t Take All This Science!
Presenter: Dr. Brian Novy
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Remineralization used to be as simple as "put some fluoride on it!" But is the array of products available today claiming “remineralization” pushing the limits of oral healthcare? In a clinical world of dry mouth and acidic beverages, perhaps we’re putting too much faith in an antiquated understanding of what happens on the surface of a tooth. The science of reversing demineralization can be summarized easily, but clinicians would be wise to realize it takes more than an electronegative anion to rebuild the strongest biological substance on earth. How far can we push chemistry before accepting biochemistry makes more sense, and what could go horribly wrong?

Guest: Dr. Sarah Winter
Until recently, Dr. Sarah Winter, who runs a cosmetic focused practice in La Jolla CA, used two different composite systems for her direct restorative cases. She used a micro-filled composite for her anterior cases for high polishability and a bulk fill for her posterior cases which provided lots of strength. But recently, she found one material that actually does both, offering strength and esthetics. According to Dr. Winter, this newer material has made her life and her staff's a whole lot easier. Today we'll talk about her transition to this new restorative composite.
