Restorative Dentistry 2021: Mastering Single Shade Composites Presenter: Dr. Peter Auster CE Supporter: Tokuyama Dental America CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Single shade composites arrived at the perfect time: they came to simplify our dentistry but they quickly became the PERFECT product to use during a pandemic. This CE webinar explains why but also helps you to take them to the next level: replacing large amalgams, filling implant screw holes, covering metal post-cores without grey showing through. This paradigm has already shifted- learn better answers for efficient, economical, beautiful dentistry.

Simplifying Complex Anterior Direct Composites with a Single Shade Composite System Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Kevin Brown CE Supporter: Tokuyama Dental America Tue  11/16/21    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  11/17/21    0:00 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

In recent years, direct anterior composites to improve esthetics in a minimally invasive manner have become increasingly popular. Patients are also being exposed to dental treatments on social media and are seeing what a tooth looks like when it’s drilled down for an indirect porcelain restoration, and it frightens them and they are seeking out alternative less invasive methods to enhance their smiles. Layered “polychromatic” direct composite bonding has been around for a long time, but it is a challenging technique to learn and equally challenging to be fairly compensated for the added time and special materials used. A new single shade composite system has simplified the esthetic anterior composite bonding technique to make it easier for the dentist to achieve seamless results without the frustration of polychromatic layering. This CE webinar will use high quality photography to illustrate how this new single shade composite technique can be used effectively and efficiently to achieve outstanding results.

Management of the gingival tissues before, during, and after restorative procedures has a profound effect on the long-term success of a case. Since many dental materials include a resin-based component in the procedure (adhesive, composite, or cement), it is imperative that the gingival tissues be healthy throughout the oral rehabilitation process. Once completed, proper home care regimens are required daily as well as regular recare visits to maintain functional health. This CE webinar will discuss and demonstrate materials and techniques to manage soft tissues during and after treatment to ensure your patient the best chance for an optimal restorative result.

With so much emphasis placed on restoring class II composite restorations in the CE arena, sometimes, the full scope of composite restorations is forgotten.
For example, class IV’s and V’s present their own unique challenges and pain points. Predictable and lasting adhesion, prep design, placement, finish & polish and matrix challenges are worthwhile, but often neglected topics.

Flowable Composite Resin in a Variety of Clinical Applications Pediatric Dentistry for the General Dentist Presenter: Dr. Carla Cohn CE Supporter: VOCO America Release Date: 6/25/21 Expiration Date: 6/25/24 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Flowable composite resins have long since been used effectively in preventative and restorative pediatric dentistry. But until now their use has been generally limited to sealants and liners. Recent improvements in mechanical properties and availability of different viscosities have changed how we view and use flowable resins. We now have many different flowables with different properties to choose from. Specifically, variations in viscosity lead to different clinical indications. We can now match appropriate viscosity and delivery to appropriate clinical scenario. As a result, flowable resins have a newly increased versatility and usefulness for different restorative situations. This CE webinar will walk through the advantages of different viscosity flowable resins and their indications for use with your pediatric patients. We will study several different clinical cases and choices of material for most effective and efficient use of our materials to best serve our patients.

Anterior Discolorations: Resin Infiltration and Microabrasion – When, Where, and How Presenter: Dr. Nathaniel Lawson and Dr. Augusto Robles CE Supporter: DMG America Release Date: 6/24/21 Expiration Date: 6/24/24 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Surface and sub-surface enamel discolorations may bring a patient into the office for esthetic treatment. Traditional treatment for these lesions could involve composite resins or ceramic veneers. More conservative options are available for removing minimal tooth structure that do not involve bonding restorative materials which need to be replaced over time. Microabrasion is a technique which removes up to 100 microns of the outer layer of enamel. Resin infiltration is a new technique which removes some of the outer layer of enamel and then infiltrates an unfilled resin into the space. This CE webinar will describe both techniques and how to use them in combination.
