Attachments play a critical role in aligner biomechanics, yet the method used to create and deliver attachments can significantly influence clinical efficiency, predictability, and esthetic outcomes. This CE webinar explores the differences between traditional attachment creation methods and custom attachment systems delivered via pre-fabricated trays. Participants will examine common challenges associated with conventional attachment workflows—such as technique sensitivity, variability in attachment shape, excess composite cleanup, and inconsistent engagement—and compare them with newer custom approaches designed to improve consistency and streamline clinical procedures. Practical considerations related to treatment planning, attachment placement, and bonding best practices will be discussed to help clinicians make informed decisions when selecting an attachment strategy for aligner therapy.

Oral health for older adults is an increasingly significant challenge in dentistry today. As people age, their risk of developing caries, periodontal disease, and other oral health complications rises. This heightened risk is often exacerbated by systemic health conditions, polypharmacy, and decreased dexterity, which can impact daily hygiene practices. Unlike younger populations, older adults face unique barriers, including complex medical histories, cognitive decline, and notable changes in insurance coverage after retirement. These factors not only affect their access to dental care but also influence how treatments must be planned and delivered. This evidence-based CE webinar equips dental professionals with practical strategies to enhance the quality of care for older adults in dental office settings. Participants will learn to identify the specific caries risk factors associated with aging patients, apply preventive and minimally invasive management strategies, and adjust treatment protocols for medically fragile individuals. The webinar will also address the impact of changing insurance structures after retirement on access to care, as well as how dental teams can navigate these challenges to provide effective and patient-centered outcomes.

Burnout is more than just feeling tired — it’s a serious occupational phenomenon affecting dental professionals at every level. From packed schedules and patient anxiety to perfectionism and lack of autonomy, dentistry is especially vulnerable to chronic stress. This CE webinar helps participants recognize the early signs of burnout, understand the factors that contribute to it, and learn practical, sustainable tools to prevent or recover from burnout — individually and as a team.

This CE webinar will provide oral health care providers with information regarding oral cancer. Potentially malignant conditions, particularly leukoplakia, will be discussed. Prevention of the disease is primarily the job of oral health care professionals; therefore, a focus will be made on preventing oral squamous cell carcinoma.

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.

To provide patients with the best adhesive restorative dentistry, we are required to have absolute isolation and a firm understanding of bonding principles. Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be able to:
• Understand the importance of rubber dam isolation
• Be familiar with the basics of isolation
• Understand the fundamental principles of bonding
There are lines coming in and out of our operatories, but do we understand how to care for them for maximum efficiency, effectiveness, and safety? Dental Unit Waterlines (DUWLs) are in the news and on inspection checklists. Science shows us that many of the aerosols we are producing come directly from the DUWLs. And our suction lines are getting a workout like never before, helping us to control the aerosols to keep us safe. In this dynamic webinar, attendees will learn the why, how, and what of dental water and suction lines. This CE webinar will turn you into a line leader where you can head back into your op and know your lines!
There is more to dentistry than cleaning teeth and filling cavities. Even the general public is aware the mouth is connected to the rest of the body. Is the standard of care we learned in school enough? Staying up to date with the latest innovations can be a challenge for healthcare providers who must prioritize both the quality of care provided to their patients and their own well-being. In this CE webinar, participants will assess new technologies to enhance clinical care and optimize outcomes. Learn how to explain the advantages of these new innovations to both patients and team members, resulting in greater buy-in and implementation in the practice.

According to Dr. Brian Novy, the application of fluoride varnish is, hands down, the most significant procedure we can do for our patients. But as with any procedure, there’s a right way—and a wrong way—to apply fluoride varnish. Dr. Novy will shed light on common mistakes that can undermine its effectiveness, a phenomenon he calls the "fluoride bomb." We’ll discuss what can go wrong during application, how to avoid these pitfalls, and what steps you can take to ensure your patients receive the full benefits of this essential preventive treatment. Dr. Brian Novy is a practicing dentist in Boston MA. He is President of the National CAMBRA Coalition, faculty at Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Western University of Health Sciences, and consumer representative for the US Food and Drug Administration Dental Products Panel.
