We have all had the experience of a painful crown delivery appointment. The pain isn't referring to the patient's experience...it's referring to ours! As we grind on the interproximal contacts and the occlusal surfaces, we casually blame the laboratory: "They left it fat and high again!" Unfortunately, most of the time we need to turn our criticisms inward and recognize the provisional is most often the problem. It becomes an afterthought in our indirect restoration appointment, but it's incredibly important to the restorative process. Whether it be a single unit or 12 veneers, we need to be able to fabricate excellent provisionals. This CE webinar will discuss workflows to make the provisional process a breeze.


Enamel Opacities Simplified: Digital Diagnosis and Modern Minimally Invasive Solutions

Enamel opacities - white spot lesions, fluorosis, trauma, and MIH - complicate diagnosis and treatment. This CE webinar offers a modern, simplified approach using transillumination, digital workflows, and updated materials to assess lesion depth and select the right treatment, including resin infiltration. Case examples cover expectation management and efficient, predictable outcomes - helping dentists deliver minimally invasive esthetic care with confidence and consistency.

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway-inflammation-periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits.


Beyond Shape: Characterization and Texture in Direct Composite Veneers
Presenter: Dr. Drew Ballard
Sponsor: Tokuyama Dental America

Creating a beautiful direct composite veneer is about more than achieving the right shape and shade. The details that ultimately make a restoration feel natural are often found in the final stages: surface texture, characterization, anatomy, light reflection, and the subtle imperfections that allow the dentistry to blend seamlessly with the surrounding dentition. In this CE webinar, Dr. Drew Ballard will share his approach to characterization and texture in direct composite resin veneers, demonstrating how he takes a restoration from simply well-shaped to natural and lifelike.

Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
This CE webinar underscores the crucial role of comprehensive knowledge about dental products, particularly for patients with pre-existing health conditions that could be aggravated by specific ingredients. The absence of this understanding could precipitate allergic manifestations, medicinal contraindications, and even acute medical emergencies. This curriculum provides participants with a thorough comprehension of dental product ingredients, their possible adverse effects, and strategies to mitigate these risks in routine clinical practice. Through a scientific lens, it enables healthcare providers to better manage patient health by considering the potential impacts of dental product ingredients on various disease states.







Direct Resin Artistry: Creating Life Like Restorations
Presenter: Dr. Jeffrey Lineberry
Sponsor: DMG America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Patients present to our offices almost daily with anterior teeth that need restorations, including ones that replace a portion of the tooth that is readily visible to the patient and others. In these cases, we can choose to restore the area with a direct or indirect restoration. Indirect restorations are managed often times by a ceramist, but direct restorations require a thorough knowledge of the material and the understanding of effective layering to achieve a restoration that blends in naturally with the sounding tooth structure. In this CE webinar, we will utilize a restorative material that simplifies the layering techniques to achieve an outstanding result.







Elevating Patient’s Experience During an Interproximal Reduction Procedure
Presenter: Gory Cottinini
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Discover the differences between automatic and manual interproximal reduction. In the last 20 years there has been a major development in the use of clear aligners and functional concepts applied to orthodontic treatments, both on children and adult patients. A key element is interproximal enamel reduction, a fundamental practice to recover the interproximal space in order to facilitate teeth movement in orthodontic treatments and to insure clean and accurate procedures in Class II patients especially dealing in the posterior sectors. The main technology contributing, not only to obtaining excellent results, but to raise the level of care and protection towards patients is automatic IPR, helping clinicians to maintain excellent control, avoid over-reductions, avoid severe damages and excessive pressure applied to the patient during treatment; all factors that manual or obsolete techniques may cause.

Hygiene has always been viewed as important in dentistry—but what if it’s actually the most underutilized growth engine in the entire practice and the key to elevating the overall patient experience? On today’s episode, we’re unpacking what it really means to optimize the hygiene department and how that shows up in a dentist’s day-to-day life when it’s done right. Because when hygiene is empowered to do more, patients don’t just feel “cleaned”—they feel educated, cared for, and connected to the practice. Our guest is Tiffany Wuebben, RDH and Founder and CEO of The Hygienepreneur.

Guest: Dr. Christopher Pescatore
One of the most valuable steps a new dentist can take is finding a mentor—someone who’s been in the field for 25 years or more and has learned through experience, including their own mistakes. A mentor offers the chance to see what lies ahead, helping you avoid getting caught up in the moment and make well-thought-out decisions about the kind of practice you want to build and the investments you’ll need to make. Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Chris Pescatore, a general dentist with over 30 years of experience. He has been a pioneer in digital dentistry since the early ’90s and has seen it all when it comes to creating aesthetic restorations. As you listen to Dr. Pescatore’s insights, we hope you gain invaluable advice to help guide you as you embark on your own dental career.
