According to the American Cancer Society, almost half a million cases of oral cancer are diagnosed worldwide each year. In the United States alone, there were over 58,000 cases of oral cancer, with over 12,000 deaths in 2024. Unlike other cancers, where the annual rate of the disease is decreasing, the rate of oral cancer is increasing at a rate of about 1% each year. Survivors often experience problems such as facial disfigurement, eating and speaking difficulties, and more. The key to survival and minimizing the effects of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy is to identify oral cancers at their earliest stages, before it spreads throughout the head and neck region or metastasizes throughout the body.
What can general practitioners do? Learn how to perform a comprehensive oral cancer screening on every patient with the latest fluorescence visualization devices. The American Dental Association has a CPT code for oral cancer screenings utilizing fluorescence visualization devices, and some dental insurance companies pay up to $150 for performing such an exam. Once discovered, general practitioners can perform simple soft tissue biopsies in their own offices, with materials they already have in their offices. The purpose of this CE webinar is to familiarize the dentist with a simple, yet comprehensive oral cancer screening program, followed by a simple soft tissue biopsy technique that any clinician can perform. There is no need to refer out such a simple, yet potentially life-saving treatment.

A smile makeover is a very complex and involved treatment which incorporates an in-depth knowledge of smile design, proper occlusion, and the ability to work with a team, to include the dental laboratory technician. Typically, the treatment plan begins to come to life after a detailed smile analysis and a wax up which is ideally fabricated by a technician. The skilled technician’s hands use a free hand approach in the wax up. The difficulty lies in the dentist then transferring this plan, complete with the proper form and fine details, to the patient’s mouth.
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.
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.

For those of us who are doing chairside milling we have a lot more choices in materials than we did several years ago. In fact, there is now a CAD CAM block that actually does not require sintering. Why is this significant? Because it shaves off as much as 25 minutes from the in-office manufacturing process. Today we'll be talking to Dr. Jennifer Bell, a full-time dentist in NC, who is all about high quality dentistry with an emphasis on efficiency. She is big into digital dentistry and has had great success with her now favorite milling block. Today she will be offering all sorts of recommendations that focus on efficient same day dentistry, including 3D Printing.

So we're beginning to hear more and more about the benefits of warming composite. For one thing, because of the lower viscosity at the time of application, it's a whole lot easier on your hand. But the real benefit lies in adaptation and we all know that the better adaptation, the less likely we'll see recurrent decay and post-operative sensitivity. To tell us why she loves warming composite and how easy it is to make the transition in your operatory to this technique, is our guest Dr. Lauren Rainey. Dr. Rainey is a regular contributor on Viva Learning.com and currently teaches direct restorative techniques to dentists in the US & Canada.
