Local anesthesia remains one of the most important advances in the history of dentistry, yet clinicians continue to face challenges related to injection discomfort, bitter taste, delayed onset, inadequate anesthesia, lingering numbness, and patient anxiety. This CE webinar will review the fascinating evolution of local anesthetic agents from the earliest use of cocaine to the introduction of lidocaine and today's expanding armamentarium of anesthetic solutions. Participants will explore the pharmacology, safety profiles, and clinical applications of commonly used local anesthetics and vasoconstrictors, while examining evidence-based strategies to improve patient outcomes. Special emphasis will be placed on innovations such as anesthetic buffering, flavor-masked formulations, and practical approaches to enhancing the overall patient experience.

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.

We are all familiar with fluoride varnish but in today's environment of fluoride hesitancy, misinformation, and marketing noise, it's easy to lose sight of the science that makes it so effective. To continue delivering the highest standard of preventive care, clinicians need a clear understanding of what actually happens after varnish is applied and why those mechanisms matter clinically. This CE webinar takes a closer look at the science behind fluoride varnish, including fluoride uptake, fluorapatite formation, and the role prolonged contact time plays in long-term enamel protection. We'll also explore how varnish formulations behave on the tooth surface and what clinicians should consider when selecting a varnish for their patients.

Cementation is the final, decisive step that determines whether an otherwise excellent indirect restoration succeeds or fails, yet it's often where protocols become inconsistent, rushed, or based on habit rather than the specific material in hand. With the range of restorative materials in use today (zirconia, lithium disilicate and other glass-ceramics), no single cement or surface-treatment protocol applies to every case. This CE webinar takes a substrate-driven approach: matching the cement category and preparation steps to the restorative material, the clinical situation, and the amount of retention available.
Through a step-by-step walkthrough of the cementation workflow, this CE webinar covers cement selection, intaglio surface treatment, the role of primers and silane coupling agents, isolation and contamination control, try-in and cleaning, seating, and finishing. The goal is to give clinicians a clear decision framework they can apply chairside to improve predictability, reduce post-operative sensitivity and debonding, and streamline what is often an unnecessarily complicated part of restorative dentistry.

This CE webinar simplifies sensitivity management through a practical, real-world approach designed for the entire clinical team. Participants will learn how to identify different types of sensitivity using a simplified clinical decision tree and understand how to match the right products and protocols to specific patient needs. The webinar will also review proper application techniques for commonly used desensitizing materials, evidence-based in-office therapies, and at-home recommendations that improve patient comfort and long-term outcomes.
Attendees will leave with practical strategies they can immediately implement to improve patient education, reduce post-operative discomfort, and create more predictable sensitivity management protocols within their practice.

Achieve success in creating lasting indirect restorations as a clinician. Emphasizing proactive case planning and meticulous preparation with the right tools is essential for favorable outcomes. Proficiently capturing both digital and traditional impressions ensures precise communication with the lab, contributing to well-fitted restorations. Master the final bonding and cementation processes to attain excellent results in your clinical practice.
This CE webinar goes beyond simply looking at KPIs: It helps cultivate a dynamic environment that reflects your professional ethos and enhances patient care. This webinar explores key areas such as personal leadership, team dynamics, and patient experience and how to develop a confident, proactive approach to your care while fostering collaboration and efficiency within your dental team. The webinar emphasizes implementing strategies for continuous skill enhancement and innovation and leveraging your skills to unlock new professional potential.
Managing cosmetic cases involving endodontically treated teeth can be challenging. Loss of tooth structure following trauma or caries removal along with endodontic treatment can compromise the strength and appearance of an anterior tooth. This CE webinar will review key points to obtaining an esthetic result while observing minimally invasive protocols.

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.

Today we’ll explore why direct composite procedures are quickly becoming a preferred alternative to traditional indirect restorations—and how you can use hybrid techniques like deep margin elevation and model-based composite crowns to deliver exceptional results without prepping away valuable tooth structure or sending cases to the lab. Joining us are two experienced clinicians, Dr Lauren Rainey and Dr Mauricio Watanabe. They will share how the use of highly filled nanocomposite materials in their techniques are transforming the way they restore teeth—and why patients are loving the results.
