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 vs. Lithium Disilicate: Different Cementation Protocols Required

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.

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.

Too often, clinical dental hygienists have a limited view of their role as, what our guest calls, inflammatory disease prevention specialists. While this is the crux of what hygienists do, patient care goes well beyond. Today we'll be talking about the oral-systemic link and how hygienists can leverage this to add life-saving value to each patient they see and improve the profitability of their practice. Our guest is Alicia Murria, a quality care enthusiast, technology integration specialist, and productivity coach. She has devoted her career to empowering professionals to provide high quality services utilizing the dental hygiene scope of practice as standard for care.

Guest: Irene Iancu, BSc, RRDH, CTDP, OM
We've all seen the white spot lesions on our patients teeth. By any measure, they're not particularly aesthetic and most patients would love them to disappear. So why is it that for a large majority of patients that are actually visiting their dentist regularly, these lesions persist and essentially detract from their smile. The only logical answer I can come up with is that many dentists are not utilizing something called resin infiltration. It's a simple procedure that is remarkably effective in essentially making white spot lesions disappear. To tell us all about it is our guest Irene Iancu. Irene is a Canadian RRDH and entrepreneur with experience in various specialties like Pediatrics, Orthodontics, and Periodontics, she has combined all these elements in her start-up dental practice in Toronto, Toothlife Studio. Irene is an international speaker, key opinion leader, host of the Tooth or Dare podcast and creates educational content on all social platforms under the handle @toothlife.irene.
