Improving Esthetics of Direct Resin Posterior Restorations with a Single Shade Composite that Blends Naturally Presenter: Dr. Gregori Kurtzman Sponsor: DMG America Thu  10/24/24    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/24/24    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Direct resin posterior restorations can be challenging to blend with the surrounding tooth structure for several reasons ranging from discoloration of underlying tooth structure that can result when replacing an old amalgam that stained the dentin, teeth discolored due to tetracycline or other things related to when the tooth developed, tooth shades that do not fit standard Vita shades, to enamel and dentin that varies in shade on the tooth. Luckily, advances in restorative composite materials have allowed development of single shade resin materials for direct restorations, offering a simpler process using fewer materials to achieve excellent aesthetics that blends with the surrounding tooth. In this CE webinar, the benefits of using a universal shade composite to simplify direct resin restorations for use for Class I and II restorations, Class V restorations and core buildups will be discussed.

Prevention - The Base for Good Oral Health and Restorative Success Presenter: Timothy Bizga, D.D.S. Sponsor: Centrix Mon  10/28/24    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Mon  10/28/24    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU Reserve Your Seat Now top

Restorative care is the core of dentistry. Dentists are proud of their work and the beautiful restorations they create; however, with high-risk patients it can feel like building a house on sand when the restoration ultimately fails due to secondary caries. Preventive care addresses the underlying cause (dental caries) and ultimately ensures a more predictable restorative outcome. In this webinar, I will discuss the importance of individualized preventive care – how it benefits the patient’s overall oral health, and in cases where the patient receives restorative treatment, extends the longevity of the restoration. I will further explain how prevention is not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Treatment should be tailored to the patient’s caries risk and should not be limited by age or insurance coverage.

Life Behind Bars: How to Identify a Biomimetic / Supercomposite Presenter: Mr. Gregor Connell Sponsor: VOCO America CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

The goal of every composite restorative material developed by manufacturers, is to become the synthetic restorative that best mimics natural tooth structure and be the most Biomimetic available. Materials can claim to be the “best” in one or more performance categories or testing protocols. However, the best material theoretically - will be the one that is “best” in the greatest number of those testing categories or properties. This CE webinar will detail and analyze the various “key” testing protocols used in manufacturing for the testing of composite materials. We will then explain the in-vivo, clinical value, of those tests and associated bar graphs. Additionally, we will discuss how these various performance indicators, impact the long-term marginal integrity of restorations.
