Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is an increasingly utilized adjunctive technology in modern dentistry. This introductory CE webinar provides dental professionals with a foundational understanding of the science, safety, and clinical applications of red light therapy in the dental setting. Participants will explore the biological mechanisms of red and near-infrared light, review current evidence supporting its use, and examine the top five dental procedures where red light therapy may be incorporated to support healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance patient comfort. Emphasis is placed on clinical indications, safety considerations, and practical integration into daily dental practice. This webinar is designed to equip dental professionals with the knowledge necessary to evaluate the role of red light therapy as part of comprehensive, patient-centered dental care.

Modern dentistry is drowning in material options - flowables, bulk-fills, esthetics-first composites, universal systems, and more. For many practices, this leads to bloated inventories, training difficulties, and inconsistent outcomes across providers. In this fast-paced, practical CE webinar, we’ll explore how to cut through the noise, simplify your restorative system, and deliver efficient, predictable results using one streamlined material protocol. You’ll also be introduced to a next-generation composite platform designed to cover the full range of anterior and posterior restorations using just five cluster shades and 4mm increments, without compromising esthetics, handling, or long-term durability. Whether you’re leading a DSO or running a solo practice, this webinar will help you reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and standardize care.


Porcelain Restorations and Adhesion to Improve Aesthetics, Function, and Unique Clinical Problems
Presenter: Dr. Nicolas Aguilera

Porcelain restorations remain one of the most predictable materials in aesthetics and restorative dentistry. Their success, however, depends entirely on correct case selection, precise clinical execution, and a consistent, evidence-based bonding protocol. This CE webinar will review the fundamental principles of adhesion, contemporary ceramic systems and step-by-step protocols to manage common and complex clinical challenges. Participants will learn how to optimize aesthetics and function with a facial driven approach and mastering the temporaries technique so the master ceramist can replicate it in porcelain restorations. By the end of the webinar, clinicians will have a clear and reproducible workflow for planning, preparing, bonding, and maintaining porcelain restorations with confidence.


Integrating CO2 Laser Technology into your CAD/CAM Workflow
Presenter: Dr. Amarjit Rihal

Incorporating a 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser into a digitally driven practice can elevate how clinicians deliver care. This CE webinar explores how laser technology complements tools such as intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM systems to simplify workflows, improve precision, and unlock new procedural opportunities, often enabling efficient same-day care. By reducing bleeding, sutures, and post-operative discomfort, the 9.3-micron CO2 laser enables dentists to confidently perform high-value procedures including implant uncoveries, tissue recontouring, flapless crown lengthening, and more. Join Dr. Amarjit Rihal as he reviews practical applications and real-world cases that demonstrate how combining laser and digital technologies can enhance clinical outcomes, improve efficiency, and elevate the patient experience.

Fundamentals of Clean Water and Air Delivery in Clinical Dental Settings
Presenter: Dr. Marie Fluent
Sponsor: Air Techniques
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Dental utility rooms play a vital role in maintaining infection control standards. The air compressor generates air for handpieces in dental procedures, while the dental unit provides water for general dental procedures. Meanwhile, the high-volume evacuation and central vacuum removes water, aerosols, airborne pathogens and particulates from the operatory field, and aerosols from the operatory. This CE webinar will address the “heart and lungs” of the dental clinic (compressor and vacuum) and how to best ensure that clean hygienic air and clean water is delivered and effectively removed during dental care.







Behavior Management for the Pediatric Dental Patient
Presenter: Dr. Juan Yepes
Sponsor: Air Techniques
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Dentistry is challenging and stressful, but definitively working with the pediatric patient potentially can take all our energy and effort. This CE webinar will present the current, state-of-the-art, of the most contemporary techniques for behavioral management with the pediatric patient in the dental chair. All, nonpharmacological and pharmacological alternatives will be discussed in detail. The use of well-known techniques like "tell-show-do" will be re-introduced to the audience. The correct use of nitrous oxide and the indications (and contraindications) will be also presented with time to have a discussion of the critical "tips" for the successful use of nitrous oxide.







The Mental Dental Connection: The Secret to Being a Better Clinician and Leader
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Austin
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Anxiety, pain, depression, burnout. Dentistry can be difficult and take a toll. Studies show us that dental professionals experience a high incidence of mental illness. Additionally, many dental professionals don’t clearly understand the mental health conditions that our patients present with, which red flags to watch for, or what to do/how to intervene. Presented in Dr. Joshua Austin’s trademark comedic style, this CE webinar explores strategies for working together to improve mental health so we can be our best. Learn how to recognize triggers and warning signs. Identify essential tools and resources. Discover how and when to refer to a mental health professional. Explore and understand mental health terms, common treatments and therapy options. Gain coping mechanisms and learn how to manage expectations – both our own and those of our patients. Dental professionals often examine the physical aspects of wellness yet we rarely explore or discuss the mental aspects. It is time to remove the taboo and face the facts.
