Attachments play a critical role in aligner biomechanics, yet the method used to create and deliver attachments can significantly influence clinical efficiency, predictability, and esthetic outcomes. This CE webinar explores the differences between traditional attachment creation methods and custom attachment systems delivered via pre-fabricated trays. Participants will examine common challenges associated with conventional attachment workflows—such as technique sensitivity, variability in attachment shape, excess composite cleanup, and inconsistent engagement—and compare them with newer custom approaches designed to improve consistency and streamline clinical procedures. Practical considerations related to treatment planning, attachment placement, and bonding best practices will be discussed to help clinicians make informed decisions when selecting an attachment strategy for aligner therapy.

Oral health for older adults is an increasingly significant challenge in dentistry today. As people age, their risk of developing caries, periodontal disease, and other oral health complications rises. This heightened risk is often exacerbated by systemic health conditions, polypharmacy, and decreased dexterity, which can impact daily hygiene practices. Unlike younger populations, older adults face unique barriers, including complex medical histories, cognitive decline, and notable changes in insurance coverage after retirement. These factors not only affect their access to dental care but also influence how treatments must be planned and delivered. This evidence-based CE webinar equips dental professionals with practical strategies to enhance the quality of care for older adults in dental office settings. Participants will learn to identify the specific caries risk factors associated with aging patients, apply preventive and minimally invasive management strategies, and adjust treatment protocols for medically fragile individuals. The webinar will also address the impact of changing insurance structures after retirement on access to care, as well as how dental teams can navigate these challenges to provide effective and patient-centered outcomes.

Burnout is more than just feeling tired — it’s a serious occupational phenomenon affecting dental professionals at every level. From packed schedules and patient anxiety to perfectionism and lack of autonomy, dentistry is especially vulnerable to chronic stress. This CE webinar helps participants recognize the early signs of burnout, understand the factors that contribute to it, and learn practical, sustainable tools to prevent or recover from burnout — individually and as a team.

Bonding procedures that perform reliably in permanent teeth can be less predictable when applied to primary teeth. Many clinicians experience frustrations such as early sealant loss, marginal breakdown of pediatric restorations, and bonding failures that seem difficult to explain. Differences in enamel structure, dentin composition, and the clinical conditions commonly encountered in pediatric dentistry create unique challenges for achieving durable adhesion. As a result, clinicians often face issues such as reduced sealant retention, restoration failure, and sensitivity to moisture contamination during pediatric bonding procedures.
This CE webinar examines the structural and chemical differences between primary and permanent teeth and how those differences influence adhesive performance. Participants will review the science behind enamel etching, dentin bonding, and hybrid layer formation in primary teeth, along with practical strategies to improve bond reliability in everyday pediatric practice. The webinar will also explore common causes of bonding failure and practical techniques that help clinicians achieve more consistent outcomes. Real-world protocols will be discussed for managing moisture contamination, optimizing etch patterns, and selecting adhesive materials that support reliable bonding in young patients. Attendees will gain practical insights that can improve restoration longevity, enhance sealant retention, and reduce clinical frustration when bonding to primary teeth.

In this one-hour CE webinar, students will understand the intricacies of adhesive dentistry, focusing specifically on protocols tailored for the optimal bonding of zirconia and eMax materials. Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the principles underlying predictable adhesive dentistry. They will be able to identify the specific challenges and considerations associated with bonding zirconia and eMax, gaining insights into material properties, surface treatments, and adhesive techniques. Additionally, students will become more familiar with the latest advancements and best practices in adhesive dentistry, including adhesive selection, surface preparation, and bonding protocols. Armed with this knowledge, participants will be empowered to implement techniques that ensure durable and aesthetically pleasing restorations, elevating their clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
This CE webinar is designed to empower dental professionals to raise their standards of care by emphasizing preventative dentistry. Discover effective patient and inter-office communication and a mindset shift from traditional to modern models. Explore innovative strategies, evidence-based practices, and advanced techniques to provide a higher level of patient-centered care through an understanding of the 5 Pillars of Prevention. Gain comprehensive knowledge to elevate their role in promoting lasting oral health and enhance the patient experience.
In this CE webinar, Dr. Tomaro will share with participants different scenarios where the clinician has to make a decision as to the technique and choice of materials. The correct material choice and mimic nature. The restoration and tooth becomes as one.
