Good oral health plays an important role in a student’s performance at school. Dental disease can distract from learning, cause students to miss school, or even lower their self-esteem. With caries being the most common chronic childhood disease in the U.S., it is crucial for us as clinicians to have strong prevention protocols in place. Fluoride varnish is an essential tool in preventive care. But what about patients who present with active caries? This CE webinar will address silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and how it stops further progression of caries lesions thus controlling the disease even if we can’t restore the tooth with drilling and filling right away.

Bonding for Cosmetic Success
Presenter: Dr. Devin McClintock CE Supporter: Bisco
Advancements in technology and materials have shifted the field of dentistry. As a result, providers opt for more conservative restorative options for enhanced smile esthetics. Additive and minimally invasive restorations rely on chemical adhesion over mechanical retention with both their direct and indirect restorations. The road to reliability in adhesive dentistry is paved through consistency and reliance on adhering to science. Developing systems and protocols and sticking to them ensures long term stability with cosmetic restorations, which in turn results in happy patients with reliable outcomes. But how does one develop the proper systems and protocols? In this CE webinar, providers will learn how to simplify yet optimize their isolation techniques and bonding protocols to achieve more predictable long-term success with both their direct and indirect restorative outcomes.
