Both dental hygienists and dentists play an important role in the early detection of oral cancer, yet there is a critical gap in screening protocols. After performing an oral cancer screening, patients often say, "No one has ever done that before." This CE webinar breaks down the components of a comprehensive visual and tactile, extraoral, and intraoral evaluation, and the signs and symptoms associated with oral and oropharyngeal cancer as an important component in screening. Using Susan's instructional screening videos and case presentations, attendees will learn proper extraoral palpation, the importance of identifying lymphadenopathy, evaluation of the thyroid gland, and the oropharynx. ADA and ADHA oral cancer policies and coding will be reviewed.
A comprehensive oral cancer screening isn't optional. Let's close the gap together, elevate the standard of care in screening, calibrate dental professionals nationwide, and increase early detection. Attendees will leave inspired and with a renewed commitment to performing this life-saving evaluation - every patient, every visit.

Direct resin has become one of the restorative materials of choice in both general and high-end esthetic practices. The explosion of demand by patients for esthetic dental services has led to an array of new dental products and treatments for practitioners to choose from. A new generation of composite resins can be utilized with a simplified protocol to create amazing anterior and posterior restorations that rival the beauty and strength of porcelain.

Zirconia or lithium disilicate? Retentive prep or short clinical crown? Bond it, or just cement it? With more restorative materials and more cement categories than ever, choosing what goes between the tooth and the restoration has become one of the most confusing decisions in everyday dentistry, and getting it wrong shows up later as debonds, sensitivity, and recurrent decay at the margin. In this CE webinar, Dr. Joshua Austin untangles the conundrum with a practical, evidence-based framework for matching the cement to the case. He will cover how restorative material, preparation design, and isolation drive the choice, along with the surface treatment, cleanup, and curing steps that determine whether a restoration lasts. He will also show how a simplified system built around a universal adhesive, a universal resin cement and a fluoride-releasing resin-modified glass ionomer can cover nearly every indirect case with less inventory and less room for error. Attendees will leave with a repeatable decision tree they can use the next morning.

This CE webinar explores the role of lasers in endodontics, with an emphasis on improving root canal disinfection while preserving tooth structure. Participants will review the biological challenges posed by complex canal anatomy and bacterial biofilms, the principles of photothermal and photoacoustic effects, and the role of laser-assisted irrigation alongside conventional instrumentation and irrigation. Drawing on scientific literature and clinical examples, the webinar will discuss laser technology and considerations for case selection, technique, and safety. Clinical observations will be distinguished from published evidence, helping participants critically evaluate the benefits, limitations, and appropriate use of laser-assisted endodontic approaches.

In the past 5 years digital technologies have advanced our clinical treatments and patient experiences. The digital connection in a private practice setting with the connection of laboratories and implant therapies is growing every year. Understanding the “REAL” connection and how to set up your office for efficiency, growth and predictability will be discussed. The new IOS scanners, Photogrammetry, 3D Facial Scanning and Jaw motion softwares are AI enhanced, and the components will help the clinician and patient achieve amazing results...DIGITALLY! The new digital technologies are here and adapting the latest developments is easy and exciting. In this CE webinar, attendees will gain insights on restoring varying types of cases, like Implants Aesthetics and Occlusion. We will demonstrate more predictable & efficient results with the help of exciting developments in the realm of digital dentistry, improving restorative outcomes and patients lives.

The expanding landscape of the oral microbiome is redefining our understanding of oral health and disease. With the rapid increase in new therapeutics and changing evidence, we can still practice preventive rather than reparative dentistry.
Dental providers are often unsure how to leverage the hygiene department and grow the business. There’s never been a better time to revolutionize this approach! Tiffany Wuebben, RDH shares systematic methods that combat today's dental practice challenges, support patient health, and significantly improve career satisfaction and the financial success of the practice.
In this CE webinar, we will engage in a collaborative approach to developing the mission/vision and patient care protocols for the hygiene-driven practice. We'll also discuss a method to revolutionize your hygiene schedule with a 100% reappointment rate. Next, we'll explore the steps to increase capacity through patient advocacy, recall, reactivation, reviews and better patient-practice relationships. We will also help you to recognize adjunct procedures that boost patient care and identify empowering practice strategies that transform the hygienist into a true “Hygienepreneur.” Finally, we'll highlight the proactive steps that professionals can take to build a thriving “hygiene practice within a practice" and develop the knowledge and skills to build a strong hygiene department leading to better clinical outcomes, greater case acceptance, all while maximizing the practice potential.
Deep Marginal Elevations (DME) can be very technique sensitive. Often times if the curing light cannot reach the restorative material due to sheer depth, we must come up with an alternative solution. Dual cured restorative materials have answered that puzzle. Dual cured materials are often misunderstood in the daily routine of a restorative dentist. This is mainly due to the clinician’s high comfort level with traditional light cured composite resins as their “go-to” material. During this CE webinar, I will explain the different mechanics between light cured versus dual cured materials and the role each has on stresses created and the impact on bonding. Then I will give a step by step systematic approach in using a dual cured material to obtain predictable and repeatable results when performing DME procedures. Finally, I will show clinical examples of Deep Marginal Elevations with dual cured materials and tips and tricks help obtain the desired result.

Dentists face significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, and burnout than the general population—and it’s something we don’t talk about enough. Our guest today is Dr. Joshua Austin, a full-time restorative dentist. He lectures nationally and internationally on clinical dentistry and mental health. Dr. Austin understands the pressures of operating a dental practice firsthand. After going through a period of intense stress, he realized something had to change. He made the decision to rebuild—not just his practice, but his life. Today, we’re going to hear that story—the struggles, the wake-up call, and the intentional steps he took to find joy in dentistry again.

In this episode, we're talking with Dr. Marc Geissberger, a dentist who has practiced general and cosmetic dentistry for over 30 years. He was Chairman of the Department of Restorative Dentistry for 15 years at University of Pacific Dental School. We'll discuss how composite materials have evolved, what you should look for when evaluating a new composite restorative material, and how universal composites are changing the way many dentists approach direct restorations. We'll address a new universal composite that has attributes that can significantly help clinicians reduce shrinkage, improve diagnostic accuracy and provide the strength, handling and sustained polishability we're looking for in our direct restorative cases. Lots of clinical pearls in this one!

Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.
