It has been suggested to either not have your zirconia crowns glazed by your lab or to sandblast the occlusal surface to be able to evaluate the occlusion better at the seating appointment. Once the occlusion has been established, getting a glaze like finish on your zirconia restoration can be challenging. Using the 2 step zirconia polishers will ensure you achieve the glossy finish she seek. Our composite restorations deserve the same respect. Again, using the 2 step composite polishers with the 48L finishing bur will give you exquisite results, without the use of messy polishing pastes.

As we all know, the fluoride ion is a key component and is beneficial to the tooth's health. However, why settle for just one therapeutic ion when bioactive Giomer Technology provides five additional ions that can restore the tooth structure destroyed by decay as well as prevent decay from occurring. In this CE webinar, Dr. Glazer will discuss the concept of bioactive Giomer Technology and why it is important in both the preventive and restorative aspects of dentistry for patients of all ages. He will review the products that feature the propriety Giomer Technology and where these products may be indicated.

Infection prevention is more important than ever before, for patient safety and for patients to maintain confidence in their dental practice. Although instruments may have been processed in the sterilizer, maintaining the sterility of dental instruments after the packages are removed from the sterilizer is a critical step in patient safety protocols. This process begins with the selection of packaging materials that are optimal for the instrument management system, utilization of process indicators and integrators, placement in the sterilizer, appropriate drying, and storage of instrument packages. This CE webinar will be based on the CDC Guidelines for Dental Health Care Settings, as well as the CDC Guidelines for Sterilization and Disinfection in Health Care Settings.

Clear aligner therapy has become an increasingly common addition to the orthodontist and the general practitioner. Both adults and children seek orthodontic treatment without traditional wire braces, providing the patient with a more aesthetic and comfortable solution to straightening teeth. Attachments, bonded composite, are used for most of the clear aligner systems. These enhance the aligner retention and allow more complex movements to be performed. Dr. Ataii will explain the benefits of using a composite with bioactive Giomer Technology for clear aligner therapy. He will also discuss the best practices on how to place and remove the attachments/engagers and which products to use for optimal results.

The first step in effective instrument reprocessing for dentistry is the cleaning process. If all debris is not removed from the instruments prior to sterilization, instruments and other items will not be sterile and safe for patient treatment. This CE webinar will look at all aspects of instrument cleaning, from instrument cleaning techniques and devices, to selecting the appropriate equipment and solutions and monitoring equipment for efficacy. CDC guidelines for instrument cleaning will be reviewed, and manufacturer’s instructions for use will be discussed.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, OSHA has been enforcing compliance with the Respiratory Protection and other safety standards in dental practices. Non-compliance with OSHA requirements can be costly to a practice in the event of an inspection – especially an unannounced inspection. This CE webinar will review checklists of OSHA requirements for training, documentation, hazard assessments and more to assist practices in practicing safely and being prepared in an inspector walked in the office. The webinar will also focus on public health protocols and resources that will help practices to be informed and prepared for future outbreaks of infectious disease.

Once the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic begins to wane, what does the “landscape” of a dental practice look like? How will our practices be permanently changed and what will go back to the way it was before the pandemic? This CE webinar will examine protocols that have been implemented in the delivery of oral health care that will remain as a permanent part of our “landscape”, such as respiratory protection, aerosol mitigation, screening of patients and dental team members for infectious diseases, the introduction of telemedicine into dentistry and adherence to guidelines from the CDC and other public health agencies and more.
