We've heard it all before, however what are we doing about it? Strong evidence continues to reinforce that what begins as inflammation in the mouth greatly influences disease progression in other organs and systems throughout the body. This CE webinar will explore the biologic pathways linking the compromised oral environment to systemic disease. It's time to recognize our critical role in early identification, prevention, patient education, and intervention strategies that support both oral and systemic health outcomes. Emerge with efficient, patient-centered communication tools that translate into meaningful opportunities to convey the impact of compromised oral health on systemic well-being.

Join Dr. Ed McLaren for an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in next-generation zirconia materials and restorative workflows. Discover how recent innovations in zirconia technology are redefining esthetics, efficiency, and clinical performance through advanced material engineering. Learn how an optimized microstructure delivers exceptional translucency-even with accelerated firing protocols-while maintaining high flexural strength and lifelike optical properties that closely mimic natural dentition.
This CE webinar will examine the complete restorative workflow, from digital design and material selection to milling, sintering, characterization, and final finishing. In addition, Dr. McLaren will review evidence-based preparation designs and cementation protocols that optimize restoration longevity, fit, and esthetic outcomes across a wide range of clinical indications, from minimally invasive veneers to full-arch zirconia restorations. Attendees will gain practical insights they can immediately apply to improve efficiency, predictability, and patient satisfaction in ever

We have all had the experience of a painful crown delivery appointment. The pain isn’t referring to the patient’s experience...it’s referring to ours! As we grind on the interproximal contacts and the occlusal surfaces, we casually blame the laboratory: "They left it fat and high again!" Unfortunately, most of the time we need to turn our criticisms inward and recognize the provisional is most often the problem. It becomes an afterthought in our indirect restoration appointment, but it's incredibly important to the restorative process. Whether it be a single unit or 12 veneers, we need to be able to fabricate excellent provisionals. This CE webinar will discuss workflows to make the provisional process a breeze.

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.

Have you ever thought that there may be a better way to provide dental hygiene care to our patients? Have you ever asked yourself why we are suffering from an oral health crisis in America in the year 2024? This CE webinar will help to provide a comprehensive approach to elevating the dental hygiene appointment for both the patient and the clinician using Guided Biofilm Therapy. This webinar will discuss utilizing the GBT protocol with your patients as a treatment for oral and systemic health. Sarah discusses the disconnect between dentistry and medicine as she helps to align the goals of the Dental Hygiene appointment and discussing the importance of effectively removing biofilm as the culprit that induces an inflammatory burden on the body. Sit back and listen as Sarah explains how to integrate the eight steps of Guided Biofilm Therapy into the Dental Hygiene appointment. Sarah has been using the guided biofilm therapy from EMS with exceptional results. Listen as she shares her tips and tricks on what to say to the patient and brings her expertise and knowledge on what we can do to enlighten our patients on the connection of oral health and systemic health.
As the demand for individualized and holistic oral care continues to grow, dental professionals must be prepared to address diverse patient preferences and questions surrounding fluoride. This engaging, evidence-based CE webinar explores the science behind remineralization and compares the efficacy of fluoride with emerging alternatives like calcium phosphate technologies, hydroxyapatite, and xylitol. Attendees will gain practical strategies to tailor care based on age, health status, caries risk, and patient concerns—while reinforcing the role of prevention in enamel health.
73 million Americans make up the Baby Boomer generation, and they will all be over the age of 65 by the year 2030. Sometimes it just takes a little more time, or a little bit more space to care for an aging patient population. Other times, a whole host of oral issues pop up at once and it can be overwhelming for the provider and the caregiving team. This CE webinar will cover treating the aged dentition, how to talk to patients & their loved ones about chronic oral disease, armamentarium to make visits smoother and preventative & restorative products to keep on hand for reliable treatment outcomes.

So how do we elevate our practice and what does elevating our practice do for our career, business and patients. It actually does quite a lot. For one, it helps with employee retention. A recent poll showed that the number one reason why a dental hygienist leaves a dental practice is because the practice is not innovative, it's doing the same ol same ol and they feel they are stuck in a rut, not learning anything new. nor are they trying new techniques and products. Also part of our episode today is talking about incorporating diagnostics into our practice. Instead of rushing through the medical history and moving right to our scaling, root planing and prophies, we should dedicate time to diagnostic testing, getting to the root cause of the problem. As our guest Amanda Hill will explain, diagnostic testing is a game-changer for the practice and not only builds trust between the practice and the patient, but also drives revenue to a whole new level.

In this episode, we're diving into the injection composite technique—a digital workflow that's helping dentists create predictable, lifelike restorations without relying solely on advanced freehand sculpting skills. Dr. Phil Klein sits down with Dr. Mackenzie Kelley, a cosmetic dentist, educator, and adjunct faculty member at Indiana University School of Dentistry. Dr. Kelly explains why this technique has become one of her go-to solutions for anterior composite dentistry, the clinical steps, the materials she trusts for outstanding esthetic outcomes, and how to determine when the injection composite technique is the right choice versus a traditional freehand approach. If you've been avoiding esthetic anterior composite cases because you don't love hand sculpting, this episode could completely change the way you practice direct restorative cosmetic dentistry.

In today’s episode, we’re addressing an often-overlooked topic in dentistry—managing dental patients with Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell Trait. These patients face unique challenges, and unfortunately, many are turned away from dental practices simply because their condition isn’t well understood. Our guest, Linda Chandler, RDH, s a graduate of the University of Texas School of Dental Hygiene, past President of the Southeast National Dental Hygiene Association, author, educator and voted top hygienist of the year 2012.
