Conscious Sedation vs. IV Sedation in a Dental Office
Presenter: Dr. Stanley Malamed and Dr. Michael Morehead CE Supporter: HealthFirst
The goal of every composite restorative material developed by manufacturers, is to become the synthetic restorative that best mimics natural tooth structure and be the most Biomimetic available. Materials can claim to be the “best” in one or more performance categories or testing protocols. However, the best material theoretically - will be the one that is “best” in the greatest number of those testing categories or properties. This CE webinar will detail and analyze the various “key” testing protocols used in manufacturing for the testing of composite materials. We will then explain the in-vivo, clinical value, of those tests and associated bar graphs. Additionally, we will discuss how these various performance indicators, impact the long-term marginal integrity of restorations.

Photobiomodulation is a minimal invasive therapy that has been well documented in scientific literature, which has been presenting successful results. Also known as LLLT (Low Level Light/Laser Therapy) has the objective to stimulate our mitochondria to produce more energy in our cells, so they will be able to perform their vital processes in a more efficient way. In dentistry photobiomodulation has been used to accelerate wound healing, bone remodeling and to minimize the intake of analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication, among other applications that will be explained in this CE webinar with the use of ATP38 technology.
Did you know nearly all cavities are preventable? Kerry will show you how implementing CAMBRA (Caries Management by Risk Assessment) can shift the focus in your practice from restorative surgical procedures to risk assessment and treatment of the biofilm and bacteria. Our profession needs to focus on the cause of the problem and identify treatment solutions to control, remineralize and repair caries. We need to recognize caries risk factors and offer risk management strategies. In this CE webinar, learn about tools, products and technology that can help your patients, as well as enhance your assessment skills. Kerry will show you how to add a caries management program into a modern dental practice.
The latest zirconia materials are a synergistic blend of biological evolution and technological engineering. Today's clinician must recognize the attributes of each zirconia material by way of optical, physical and biologic material property to ensure clinical success. This CE webinar will discuss the difference in 3Y to 5Y zirconia materials, the newest version of gradient content materials and how to select the right Y for each case.
In this CE webinar, we will review digital and analog shading techniques for direct and indirect restorations. The need to blend as well as maximize bond strength drives modifications in both preparation approach and material depending on the intra-arch and intra-tooth position and size. Controlling tooth position especially when balancing spaces with pre-prosthetic orthodontics is critical, especially when a maxillary lateral incisor is involved.
The hygiene department plays a major role in the health of a practice, some may even say it is the heart of a dental practice. Knowing and improving your hygiene department vital signs can be critical to overall practice success. Hygienists are in unique positions, typically having the most one-on-one contact with the patients. They are typically first in line to present the benefits of preventive, restorative or aesthetic dentistry, providing suggestions and assisting with the decision process, setting the stage for case acceptance. Besides the direct patient care and helping patients understand the best treatment for their wants or conditions, there is also the business side of the profession – what does hygiene contribute to the financial success of the practice? A hygienist who understands the value of their position, the hygiene vital signs and thus the business side of their department can then be prepared for discussions with their employer regarding incorporation of new technology or even wage increases. This CE webinar will provide the participant with the tools and techniques to identify the vital signs of a health hygiene department, show how a successful hygienist can help improve the health of the practice, the health of the patients and promote the value they bring to the table.
This CE webinar offers a unique opportunity to explore the experiences and lessons learned of an infection control coordinator.

The concept of the wicking effect and its implications on instrument recontamination post-sterilization will be explained, and the benefits of using closed-door drying autoclaves will be discussed. By the end of this webinar, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by infection control coordinators and the steps they can take to ensure infection control and patient safety.
“OH NO! Not that one again!” After all your training, and years of hard work and tremendous sacrifice, don’t you just hate it when you get those heart wrenching questions and resistance to case acceptance over and over again? Your team and you work so hard, and care so deeply, so why is it that often our patients don’t ask for optimal care and enthusiastically accept our treatment plans?
This CE webinar opens your mind to the endless possibilities of composite. If you have a superior bond, then you can do anything.
