More and more, dental hygienists are expected to select the most accurate CDT procedure codes for the medically necessary treatment they provide to patients. Since the ADA’s Code Maintenance Committee meets yearly, those procedures and their descriptors can either be amended, deleted, or stay the same. The CE webinar will discuss the changes (or not) and additions/deletions which came on January 1, 2025. Some of the new and updated dental procedure codes will include revisions and additions to implant maintenance procedures, long requested by hygienists. In addition, more and more caries management products are being developed and how to know which code is the most appropriate. And what procedure code for desiccation therapy? A total of 10 new codes, 8 revised codes and 2 deleted codes will be presented.

Have you noticed the shift in dentistry? Patients expect their dental care to be easier, delivered in a shorter treatment time, and painless. As clinicians, we understand the benefits of conservative restorative approaches and want to promote them at every opportunity. Given the advancement of early diagnostics, minimal intervention becomes even more paramount using cutting-edge technology. This CE webinar will discuss guiding principles for contemporary adhesive preparations using as little intervention as possible utilizing a new roll-out class of minimally invasive dental burs that provide a major impact. Learn how these burs can navigate a variety of current dental materials and tooth anatomy.
