Achieving effective and lasting local anesthesia is crucial for successful clinical practice. It allows the dental professional to perform dental procedures efficiently, enhance the patient experience, and improve overall outcomes. Buffering, which involves adding sodium bicarbonate to raise the pH of the anesthetic solution, can significantly improve anesthesia delivery. This CE webinar will explore why, when, and how clinicians should incorporate buffering, focusing on three key benefits: faster onset of anesthesia, reduced injection pain, and enhanced effectiveness.

Recurrent caries haunt each and every provider at one point or another. Pastes, rinses and home care tools can only go so far - sometimes we need to break the caries cycle at the tooth-restorative interface. This CE webinar will highlight some advances in composite chemistry that marry the convenience of a bulk fill with the smarts of remineralization. Caries risk assessment and adhesive considerations will be covered in detail, as each of these components in addition to our materials, make for more predictable restorative outcomes.

Behavior Management for the Pediatric Dental Patient
Presenter: Dr. Juan Yepes
Sponsor: Air Techniques
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)

Dentistry is challenging and stressful, but definitively working with the pediatric patient potentially can take all our energy and effort. This CE webinar will present the current, state-of-the-art, of the most contemporary techniques for behavioral management with the pediatric patient in the dental chair. All, nonpharmacological and pharmacological alternatives will be discussed in detail. The use of well-known techniques like "tell-show-do" will be re-introduced to the audience. The correct use of nitrous oxide and the indications (and contraindications) will be also presented with time to have a discussion of the critical "tips" for the successful use of nitrous oxide.







I Can See Clearly Now: Soft Tissue Retraction Options
Presenter: Dr. Lauren Rainey
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
It’s been said that “the tissue is the issue,” and we all know that can be true! In the restorative world, contamination from soft tissue in the oral environment can cause havoc mid-procedure. There are a myriad of materials and tools available for retraction of the soft tissue - and it’s ok to mix and match to optimize patient outcomes. This CE webinar will review options for tissue management, both of the physical and chemical varieties to assist in maintaining a dry restorative field in many of our day-to-day procedures.

Featured Podcast Episodes
Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Jennifer Derse
Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.

Series: GC America CE Credits: 0.25
Guest: Dr. Yao-Lin Tang
In the past, we didn't have many choices when it came to CAD CAM blocks. But today we do. In this episode, we'll be talking to a dentist who is well aware that Zr wins the strength contest but he has plenty of reasons to stay the course with LiSi. He specifically prefers a specific Lithium Disilicate bloc that saves him the step of firing after chairside milling. To tell us all about it is Dr. Yao-Lin Tang, who has over twenty years of practical knowledge in cosmetic and general dentistry. He is a CEREC user since 2005, a certified CEREC trainer, and a Visiting Faculty at CDOCS.com.
