This CE webinar explores the evolution of dentistry from a reactive, treatment-focused model to a proactive, patient-centered approach. Emphasizing minimally invasive and non-invasive dentistry, it highlights the importance of prevention, early intervention, and long-term health outcomes. Participants will gain insight into how oral health is intrinsically linked to systemic health and overall well-being. The session will also address the importance of viewing patients holistically-considering their medical history, lifestyle, behaviors, and individual risk factors-to deliver personalized, evidence-based care. By focusing on the "patient promise," this webinar underscores the ethical and professional responsibility to empower patients, foster trust, and promote sustainable oral health through education, prevention, and collaboration.

Local anesthesia remains one of the most important advances in the history of dentistry, yet clinicians continue to face challenges related to injection discomfort, bitter taste, delayed onset, inadequate anesthesia, lingering numbness, and patient anxiety. This CE webinar will review the fascinating evolution of local anesthetic agents from the earliest use of cocaine to the introduction of lidocaine and today's expanding armamentarium of anesthetic solutions. Participants will explore the pharmacology, safety profiles, and clinical applications of commonly used local anesthetics and vasoconstrictors, while examining evidence-based strategies to improve patient outcomes. Special emphasis will be placed on innovations such as anesthetic buffering, flavor-masked formulations, and practical approaches to enhancing the overall patient experience.

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway-inflammation-periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits. Dental hygienists will gain practical tools for recognizing airway-related red flags, implementing simple screening strategies within their scope, communicating findings confidently with patients, and integrating prevention-based periodontal care models that support long-term stability.

We are all familiar with fluoride varnish but in today's environment of fluoride hesitancy, misinformation, and marketing noise, it's easy to lose sight of the science that makes it so effective. To continue delivering the highest standard of preventive care, clinicians need a clear understanding of what actually happens after varnish is applied and why those mechanisms matter clinically. This CE webinar takes a closer look at the science behind fluoride varnish, including fluoride uptake, fluorapatite formation, and the role prolonged contact time plays in long-term enamel protection. We'll also explore how varnish formulations behave on the tooth surface and what clinicians should consider when selecting a varnish for their patients.

Cementation is the final, decisive step that determines whether an otherwise excellent indirect restoration succeeds or fails, yet it's often where protocols become inconsistent, rushed, or based on habit rather than the specific material in hand. With the range of restorative materials in use today (zirconia, lithium disilicate and other glass-ceramics), no single cement or surface-treatment protocol applies to every case. This CE webinar takes a substrate-driven approach: matching the cement category and preparation steps to the restorative material, the clinical situation, and the amount of retention available.
Through a step-by-step walkthrough of the cementation workflow, this CE webinar covers cement selection, intaglio surface treatment, the role of primers and silane coupling agents, isolation and contamination control, try-in and cleaning, seating, and finishing. The goal is to give clinicians a clear decision framework they can apply chairside to improve predictability, reduce post-operative sensitivity and debonding, and streamline what is often an unnecessarily complicated part of restorative dentistry.
Featured On-Demand CE Webinars
Indirect restorative dentistry involves many details that can significantly affect the final outcome, with preparation and temporization often being overlooked. In this CE webinar, we will cover how to properly fabricate ideal crowns, bridges, and veneers using advanced provisional materials, while also addressing the critical role of temporary cements. We’ll discuss how cement selection impacts retention, sensitivity, marginal seal, and esthetics, and provide guidance on choosing the right cement for different clinical situations to ensure predictable, successful results.
After this CE webinar, you will leave with practical knowledge of managing trauma in the GP practice setting that you can begin incorporating into your practice the very next day. Case reviews, technology, and products will be discussed.
This CE webinar will cover the importance of optimal suction in the dental operatory to improve performance and productivity, reduce downtime, and enhance air quality for both dental personnel and patients. Topics include the utility room components such as central vacuum, compressor, and amalgam separator, as well as product selection considerations and basic equipment maintenance.

Today we’re chatting with Dr. John Gammichia, a general dentist who’s made a name for himself saving what many would call “bombed out” teeth — all with conservative, direct composite. We’ll dive into how he handles deep decay and pulp exposures, the materials and techniques that make it possible, and how his approach has become a real practice builder — showing that fee-for-service dentistry focused on preserving tooth structure can be both patient-centered and profitable.
