The Biologic Basis of Dentistry - Biologic Concepts and Materials (BASES) in Clinical Practice

Over the last few years much has changed in healthcare. Because we have been naturally overwhelmed by pandemic news, newly published research on the importance of the oral gateway microbiome in systemic health was scarcely noticed. In addition, oral health professionals found that our preventive care protocols needed substantial updating. Many patients had significant dental issues during the “lock-down” and our practices are still catching up on delayed dental treatment. Fortunately, improved dental biological materials that are kind to the pulp, with the potential to stimulate reparative dentin by providing calcium ions and an alkaline environment, are commercially available. In addition, bulk fill resin based composite restorative increase dentists’ efficiency and improve clinical outcomes. Universal adhesives provide for consistent and reliable bond strengths. Hence, the future for oral healthcare professionals appears optimistically bright.    (enter class)

Simplifying Complex Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry

Today our patients desire highly esthetic results using minimal invasive cosmetic restorative procedures. Using a creative approach to problem-solving and the latest innovations in material science excellent long-term results can be achieved with predictable success. This CE webinar will cover how minimal invasive procedures can now be applied to dental problems that range from simple to complex restorative problems.    (enter class)

Best Practices for Zirconia Bonding

Zirconia restorations are some of the most durable all ceramic materials available for tooth colored restorations. However, there are many questions as to how to properly clean, adhere and or cement them. This CE webinar will help to eliminate many of the common questions and frustrations with delivering zirconia restorations.    (enter class)

Simplifying Isolation and Bonding Protocols for Indirect Restorations

Advancements in technology and materials have shifted the field of dentistry. Providers opt to rely more on chemical adhesion over mechanical retention with their indirect restorations. This paradigm shift of preparation design to a more conservative approach is dependent on an equal shift in our bonding protocols. The road to reliability in adhesive dentistry is paved through consistency and reliance on adhering to science. Developing systems and protocols and sticking to them ensures long term stability with indirect restorations. Which in turn results in happy patients with reliable outcomes. But how does one develop the proper systems and protocols? In this CE webinar, providers will learn how to simplify yet optimize their isolation techniques and bonding protocols to achieve more predictable long-term success with their indirect restorative outcomes. In addition to establishing consistent bonding protocols for single unit delivery cases, providers will be able scale these bonding techniques for any unit delivery.    (enter class)
