This CE webinar explores the diagnosis and minimally invasive management of smooth surface enamel defects, integrating both contemporary diagnostic tools and conservative therapeutic strategies. It addresses the different types of enamel lesions based on their topography and etiology—ranging from initial carious demineralizations to developmental defects such as hypoplasia, fluorosis, and hypomineralization—highlighting how these variations influence clinical decision-making. A key concept discussed is the optical nature of white spot lesions. Early enamel demineralization creates subsurface porosities without surface cavitation, leading to light scattering and the characteristic opaque appearance. These lesions are not due to pigmentation but rather to changes in light diffraction within the enamel structure. The webinar also covers advanced diagnostic approaches, including the benefits of transillumination to better assess lesion depth and extension, improving accuracy in treatment indication. Pre-treatment considerations such as bleaching are presented as a way to harmonize the overall tooth shade and enhance the final esthetic outcome. Central to the discussion is the principle of erosion-infiltration, initially developed for early proximal carious lesions but now widely extended to smooth surface defects. The technique relies on modifying the enamel’s optical properties by infiltrating its porosities with a low-viscosity resin whose refractive index closely matches that of healthy enamel, allowing light to pass through more uniformly and restoring translucency.

Extracted teeth represent a biologically compatible grafting material that is often overlooked in clinical practice. This CE webinar explores the use of autologous dentin as a bone graft, highlighting its biologic properties, including inherent growth factors and structural similarity to bone. The webinar will review clinical applications, with particular attention to compromised patients where enhanced healing and integration are critical. Attendees will also be introduced to practical workflows that allow chair side processing of extracted teeth into graft material, supporting efficient and predictable regenerative outcomes.

Bacterial contamination of dental unit water lines is a growing liability concern for all dental offices. Bacteria that may be present include Legionella, Pseudomonas and Non-tuberculosis Mycobacteria. Without proper protocols, it is possible for dental unit water bacteria levels to be as much as 1000 times what is deemed acceptable by the CDC. This CE webinar, presented by Compliance Training Partners, highlights Centers for Disease control guidelines for dental unit water and provides solutions for maintaining a safe and healthy environment for both patients and staff. The webinar also reviews proper testing protocol and describes how to correct a dental unit water system that contains unacceptable levels of bacteria.

After veneer preparation, success depends on creating aesthetic, functional temporaries and executing a predictable cementation workflow. This CE webinar provides a streamlined, step-by-step approach to both phases. Participants will learn how to fabricate provisional veneers that support tissue healing, function, and aesthetics, while serving as a guide for final restorations. The webinar also outlines an efficient, evidence-based cementation process, including material selection, surface treatment, isolation, try-in, and adhesive bonding techniques. Key materials, clinical techniques, and common pitfalls will be discussed to help improve efficiency, consistency, and long-term outcomes.

This CE webinar is designed to provide clinicians with practical, experience-based guidance for achieving predictable and esthetic posterior composite restorations. Drawing from over 25 years of clinical practice, the lecture will highlight best practices that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and long-term success. Participants will gain insight into the essential tools and materials required for optimal outcomes, as well as how to avoid common and preventable diagnostic errors that can compromise treatment. The webinar will also focus on decision-making strategies for selecting the appropriate composite materials based on tooth location and functional demands. Attendees will learn proper tooth preparation techniques for esthetic restorations and will be introduced to streamlined methods and instrumentation that allow for faster, easier procedures while maintaining a natural appearance. Clinical video demonstrations of Class II and Class V composite restorations will further reinforce these concepts and provide real-world application.

Nano-ORMOCER technology is an all-ceramic direct restorative material that helps simplify your restorative needs while saving you time and money. This one size fits many restorative material will simplify your direct composite procedures.
Attachments are one of the most misunderstood yet powerful tools in clear aligner therapy. In this CE webinar, Dr. Avi Patel breaks down the clinical science and practical application behind attachments — when to use them, how to design them, and how to avoid common mistakes that compromise outcomes. Through real case examples and step-by-step workflows, participants will learn how to integrate attachment strategies that improve predictability, reduce refinements, and save chair time. This CE webinar is designed for general dentists who want to confidently plan and execute attachment-based movements in everyday aligner cases.
Dentistry is a constantly evolving profession and some of the greatest changes in the past decade have come from evolutions in 3D technology. We live in a 3D world and being able to have valuable clinical data in 3D can allow us to do incredible things. We now have the clinical ability to scan, design, and 3D print in ways to allow, for the first time, truly digital workflows from start to delivery. There are many benefits to implementing 3D workflows and printing into your practice. Efficiency, accuracy, cost savings, and outcomes all improve when a practice moves from analog to digital. In this CE webinar, learn how implementing 3D printing technologies and digital workflows into your practice can decrease stress and allow you to provide incredible clinical outcomes to your patients while spending less time and less money.
