Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease - Part 2
Presenter: LD Coaching
Sponsor: VOCO America
Thu  10/8/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Thu  10/8/26    11:00 PM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
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.

Beyond Shape: Characterization and Texture in Direct Composite Veneers
Presenter: Dr. Drew Ballard
Sponsor: Tokuyama Dental America
Mon  10/12/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Mon  10/12/26    11:00 PM UTC

Creating a beautiful direct composite veneer is about more than achieving the right shape and shade. The details that ultimately make a restoration feel natural are often found in the final stages: surface texture, characterization, anatomy, light reflection, and the subtle imperfections that allow the dentistry to blend seamlessly with the surrounding dentition. In this CE webinar, Dr. Drew Ballard will share his approach to characterization and texture in direct composite resin veneers, demonstrating how he takes a restoration from simply well-shaped to natural and lifelike.

Maximizing Dental Suction and Safety: A New Approach to Amalgam Separation
Presenter: Dr. Marie Fluent
Sponsor: Air Techniques
Tue  10/13/26    8:30 PM ET    5:30 PM PT
Wed  10/14/26    0:30 AM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
This one-hour CE webinar introduces a revolutionary, filter-free amalgam separation system designed to operate independently of your central vacuum. Participants will explore how bypassing the central vacuum optimizes aerosol capture and maintains peak suction performance without clogging from prophylaxis paste. The webinar highlights critical infection control advantages, including the reduction of saliva, blood, and contaminated aerosols at the clinical site, and enhances operator visualization and patient comfort. Additionally, attendees will learn how this technology lowers amalgam recycling costs and prevents toxic waste from entering municipal water systems and supports environmental sustainability.

Innovative Approaches to Early Caries Management
Presenter: Lisa Mayo, RDH, BSDH, MHA
Sponsor: vVardis
Wed  10/14/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Wed  10/14/26    11:00 PM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
This 1 hour CE webinar examines current and emerging methodologies for the detection and non-invasive management of early dental caries. Participants will review recent evidence supporting minimally invasive interventions in comparison to traditional methodologies and discuss clinical protocols that preserve natural tooth structure while improving long-term outcomes.

Highly Esthetic Tooth and Implant-supported Restorations: An Update on the Latest Materials, Workflows, and Techniques for 2026
Presenter: Dr. Julian Conejo
Sponsor: Kuraray Noritake
Thu  10/15/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT
Thu  10/15/26    11:00 PM UTC
CE Credits: 1 Interactive CEU
A step by step digital workflow to improve success rates on single and multiple-unit tooth and implant restorations will be presented. The main objective of this CE webinar is to show how treatment time optimization and better clinical outcomes are possible with the implementation of digital tools. This webinar will show how to collect patient’s initial data to create the “Digital Clone”, discussing key points from photography setups to intraoral scanning tips and tricks for better communication with the dental laboratory. Design and fabrication of highly esthetic provisional and definitive restorations with 3D printed and milled material options will be explained to improve clinical efficiency on tooth and implant-supported restorations.

 Modern Adhesive Restorative Techniques
Presenter: Dr. Christopher Pescatore
Sponsor: COLTENE
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
This CE webinar will deal with numerous aspects of comprehensive restorative aesthetic dentistry and efficient patient care in today’s dental practice. We will discuss how to make routine dental procedures such as adhesion and direct resins more predictable and efficient using the latest material technologies. Also discussed will be the indirect restoration protocol including preparation design for the current restorative materials and the use of impression materials vs digital technologies. Insertion protocols will also be addressed to aide the clinician in developing a foolproof method to deliver high quality, long-lasting restorations.






The Golden Age of Composite Dentistry
Presenter: Dr. Peter Auster
Sponsor: VOCO America

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.






Move Ions, Move!

Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Joshua Austin
Dentists face significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, and burnout than the general population—and it’s something we don’t talk about enough. Our guest today is Dr. Joshua Austin, a full-time restorative dentist. He lectures nationally and internationally on clinical dentistry and mental health. Dr. Austin understands the pressures of operating a dental practice firsthand. After going through a period of intense stress, he realized something had to change. He made the decision to rebuild—not just his practice, but his life. Today, we’re going to hear that story—the struggles, the wake-up call, and the intentional steps he took to find joy in dentistry again.
Series: VOCO America CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe
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.

Guest: Dr. Christopher Pescatore
One of the most valuable steps a new dentist can take is finding a mentor—someone who’s been in the field for 25 years or more and has learned through experience, including their own mistakes. A mentor offers the chance to see what lies ahead, helping you avoid getting caught up in the moment and make well-thought-out decisions about the kind of practice you want to build and the investments you’ll need to make. Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Chris Pescatore, a general dentist with over 30 years of experience. He has been a pioneer in digital dentistry since the early ’90s and has seen it all when it comes to creating aesthetic restorations. As you listen to Dr. Pescatore’s insights, we hope you gain invaluable advice to help guide you as you embark on your own dental career.
