We are 40 years since Professor Branemark introduced his research on osseointegration to the dental community. Dental Implants provide our patients with successful long-term restorative solutions for function, comfort, and aesthetics. Today, Dental Hygienists are seeing more patients with dental implants. Implant manufacturers have introduced new implant designs, surfaces, and surface chemistry that affect biocompatibility and maintenance protocols. There are concerns about what materials we use to reduce peri-implant inflammation, may negatively affect the implant surface's biocompatibility and the implant’s long-term success. This CE webinar will review dental implant component materials and design and the biological compatibility of commonly used instruments, technology, and therapeutic materials.

Zirconia and lithium disilicate (eMax and others) are the two most common direct restorative materials. Predictable long term cementation success is dependent on the proper pre-cementation treatment and understanding the different cement options available. As we currently do not have a universal it is important to understand the different cement options to make an informed decision. This CE webinar is designed to review the proper pre-cementation protocols and discuss the different cement categories to help the viewer create a workflow and thought process that will increase the predictability of their restorations.

Most doctors know the LANAP® and LAPIP™ protocols but it’s the Value-Added Procedures (VAPS™) that make laser dentistry unstoppable. In this business-forward, no-fluff CE webinar, Dr. Vivian Roknian reveals how to unlock the full financial potential of laser dentistry, turning it from a single-purpose tool into a true practice growth engine. You’ll learn how to stack high-yield, low-overhead procedures that diode and erbium lasers simply can’t touch—from implant osteotomy detox and hemangioma removal to herpetic lesion treatment, paresthesia recovery and cosmetic upgrades patients are demanding. This CE webinar goes far beyond the LANAP® and LAPIP™ protocols. It’s a masterclass in dozens of laser protocols that drive patient satisfaction and revenue while expanding what’s clinically possible in your operatory. Whether you already own a laser or are on the fence, this webinar will show you exactly how to increase chair value, scale patient production, and build a more profitable, future-ready practice using minimally invasive treatments.

View Full Description »
More and more dental offices are booked months in advance and are operating with a limited staff. Dentists expect hygienists to deliver thorough cleanings but with less time allotted for each procedure. I would like to discuss ways to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality. The demands of life make it challenging to keep up with new and innovative technology. I would like to cover the latest technological advancements and products that could lead to better patient outcomes. Finally, I want to address personal health and wellness, which is essential for career longevity. In addition to exploring in-office and home yoga techniques, I would like to conduct a deep dive into anatomy, helping hygienists understand why their bodies hurt and exploring natural options to help them feel their best and perform at their highest level. After the CE webinar you can expect to offer new, highly sought-after services that help keep dental patients from escaping your practice.

Joining us are two experienced clinicians, Dr Lauren Rainey and Dr Mauricio Watanabe. They will share how the use of highly filled nanocomposite materials in their techniques are transforming the way they restore teeth—and why patients are loving the results.
