Prevention for Life®
Getting your patients through life caries free.
Getting your patients through life caries-free is attainable; it just takes deliberate intervention at every stage of life. This course will examine those risks and behaviors as they relate to your patient groups by age. You will use evidence-based risk factors to determine who will benefit from what level of intervention and learn to construct patient-centered strategies to affect change.

What you’ll learn:
- Quickly assess the patients’ risk level using an evidence-based protocol for known risk factors.
- Effectively communicate the long-term benefits of fluoride varnish as a risk reduction tool.
- Provide assessment and treatment with minimal change to your current hygiene appointment.
- Establish an office protocol promoting risk assessment as an important part of patient and practice health.
- Proven practice-based treatments such as fluoride varnish and home fluoride products that the patient/parent can include in their oral health routine.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
Treat and restore with silver diamine fluoride.
You'll earn 1 Free CE Credit
What you’ll learn:
- What silver diamine fluoride is and how it works as a desensitizer and caries arrest agent.
- The clinical scenarios where SDF is beneficial, including when, why and how it should be used.
- Why the common misconceptions about SDF are not true and how they prevent clinicians like you from providing best care to your patients.
- When and how to restore teeth after SDF treatment.
- Why silver diamine fluoride should become a standard part of your preventive-restorative armamentarium for all your patients.
The Core Issue
Structural integrity of broken down teeth.
As part of restoring broken down or endodontically-treated teeth, it is often necessary to place a post-and-core buildup on the remaining tooth structure prior to placing the final restoration. New material advancements have ushered in a new era in core restorative approaches. This course reviews current best practices -materials and clinical techniques- related to the chair-side fabrication of more structurally sound restorations, including bonded post-and-core buildup.

What you’ll learn:
- How to ensure more structurally sound restorative approaches.
- When core only is needed and when a post-and-core build up procedure is necessary.
- The function of a post-and-core buildup.
- Advanced materials for both approaches.
- The creation of a "monobloc" and how it relates to a successful bonded post-and-core buildup.
- The importance of dentin preservation during preparation and restoration.
- Today’s state-of-the-art clinical steps in creating structural integrity with bonded core and post and core build ups.
How to Avoid Common Mistakes When Taking Impressions
To create accurate, well-fitting crowns, bridges and other indirect restorations, you must first take good impressions. This course addresses the most common mistakes that occur during traditional impression-taking procedures, and what you can do to avoid them. Also presented are new advancements in impression materials designed to help reduce retakes and simplify the impression-taking procedure—with the ultimate goal of helping to achieve predictable clinical success with an accurate first impression.

What you’ll learn:
- What is required to produce an accurate impression.
- The most common causes of inadequate margins, and how to prevent them.
- The most common causes of voids and bubbles, and how to prevent them.
- The most common causes of ledges, and how to prevent them.
- What to look for when choosing an impression material.
- Common issues we see with impressions, reasons why they happen and the steps we can take to minimize them.
A Simplified Approach to Temporary Crown & Bridge
You'll earn 1 Free CE Credit
What you’ll learn:
- Better understand the problems that occur when no temporary or provisional is used – drifting, eruption, loss of functional requirements, bacterial infiltration.
- When and why to consider Provisional vs Temporary restorations.
- Speed vs Esthetics - can we have both in a predictable result and reasonable time frame?
- Cementing the Temporary to meet the case requirements and not hinder/limit cementation of the final restoration. Spot etch and bond for temporary veneers.
- Preparation considerations for short-term Temporaries vs longer-term Provisionals.
