Composite dentistry has evolved and yet many clinicians still struggle with consistency, efficiency, and long-term outcomes. This CE webinar breaks down a universal composite workflow that simplifies material selection, maintains esthetics, and increases predictability across everyday restorative cases. Designed for real-world dentistry, this course focuses on practical techniques for posterior and anterior restorations, shade simplification, handling characteristics, layering strategies, and polishing protocols that elevate results without adding complexity or chair time. Attendees will leave with immediately applicable techniques to improve restoration longevity, patient satisfaction, and clinical confidence.

This CE webinar explores how shifting from passive monitoring to non-invasive early intervention can transform both patient outcomes and practice performance. As clinicians gain access to advanced diagnostic technologies, the opportunity to identify and treat early enamel lesions—before cavitation—has never been greater. Yet many practices struggle with team alignment, case acceptance, and integrating these protocols into everyday workflows.
This webinar outlines a practical, team-centered approach to implementing early intervention strategies that preserve tooth structure through guided hydroxyapatite generation while simultaneously driving measurable production growth. Attendees will learn how to leverage modern detection tools, standardize clinical protocols, and empower the entire dental team—from hygienists to front office—to communicate value effectively and confidently.
By connecting clinical excellence with business impact, this course demonstrates how early intervention is not just a treatment philosophy, but a scalable growth strategy. Participants will leave with actionable steps to improve patient trust, increase case acceptance, and create a more proactive, productive practice culture.

Early intervention for tethered oral tissues (TOTs) can play a significant role in improving a child’s overall health and development. In this CE webinar, Dr. Jared Poplin will examine common conditions associated with tongue-ties and lip-ties, including challenges with breastfeeding, speech development, and oral health. The webinar will also highlight how the 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser supports precise, efficient frenectomy procedures with minimal bleeding, reduced post-operative discomfort, and remarkably rapid healing.

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.

Bonding procedures that perform reliably in permanent teeth can be less predictable when applied to primary teeth. Many clinicians experience frustrations such as early sealant loss, marginal breakdown of pediatric restorations, and bonding failures that seem difficult to explain. Differences in enamel structure, dentin composition, and the clinical conditions commonly encountered in pediatric dentistry create unique challenges for achieving durable adhesion. As a result, clinicians often face issues such as reduced sealant retention, restoration failure, and sensitivity to moisture contamination during pediatric bonding procedures.
This CE webinar examines the structural and chemical differences between primary and permanent teeth and how those differences influence adhesive performance. Participants will review the science behind enamel etching, dentin bonding, and hybrid layer formation in primary teeth, along with practical strategies to improve bond reliability in everyday pediatric practice. The webinar will also explore common causes of bonding failure and practical techniques that help clinicians achieve more consistent outcomes. Real-world protocols will be discussed for managing moisture contamination, optimizing etch patterns, and selecting adhesive materials that support reliable bonding in young patients. Attendees will gain practical insights that can improve restoration longevity, enhance sealant retention, and reduce clinical frustration when bonding to primary teeth.
All too often, clinicians are stuck in the same sound loop when trying to help our patients take ownership of their disease. And yet, they come back with the same issues appointment after appointment. However, by empowering patients to take control, we can see a significant positive shift in their health management. In this CE webinar, attendees will delve into the common barriers that hinder patient collaboration and discover practical strategies to overcome these challenges. They will also learn how to implement co-diagnosis, enabling patients to actively participate in their own assessment and treatment planning. By integrating these approaches, healthcare providers can enhance patient compliance and outcomes. Understanding the patient's perspective and motivations will lead to more effective communication, greater patient satisfaction, and a more personalized approach to care.
The days of 35 shades of composite are over and so are the days of composites that stick to everything but teeth. Introducing: bold new composites that do everything better than what we had before. Better handling, better shades, better management of ambient light. These are truly new and the best we’ve ever seen.
