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.

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.

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.

With the yearly changes made to the CDT dental codes it can be challenging for a dental professional on how or advise patients what procedures their insurance carriers will be covered or to help their patient file their own dental claims. This CE webinar will discuss a variety of procedures like desensitizing, dental creams/varnishes and how they can be profitable for a dental practice.
Today our patients desire highly esthetic results using minimal invasive cosmetic restorative procedures. Using a creative approach to problem-solving and the latest innovations in material science excellent long-term results can be achieved with predictable success. This CE webinar will cover how minimal invasive procedures can now be applied to dental problems that range from simple to complex restorative problems.
Bioactive restorative materials and prevention products with bioavailable properties are revolutionizing the dental industry. Take your patient care to the next level by incorporating treatments that do more than just ‘fill’ or ‘clean’ teeth. Learn how glass ionomer cement sealants can do more than just provide a physical barrier from plaque on pits and fissures, they are hydrophilic, can be placed on partially erupted molars, and act as a fluoride reservoir that helps to prevent caries and enhance remineralization. Sealants and toothpastes with RECALDENT® technology increase the bioavailable calcium and phosphate in saliva to enhance enamel remineralization and reduce sensitivity without staining enamel. Glass hybrid restoratives help to reduce post-op sensitivity, reduce recurrent caries, improve outcomes, and have enhanced physical properties for long-lasting durability and esthetics. Dental materials are evolving and so should you!
