The tongue plays a key role in growth, development, and function. Ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) can lead to compensatory behavior, such as snoring, inability to breathe through the nose, underdevelopment of the midface, crowding of teeth, and TMD. Untreated, it can lead to more serious medical conditions, including digestive issues and sleep apnea. Every dentist should be trained to recognize signs and symptoms of tongue-tie and act as the quarterback in resolving this condition with the patient.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Describe the function of the tongue as well as proper tongue posture for nasal breathing, growth, and development.
Explain how to evaluate tongue-tie in infants, children, and adults.

From intraoral isolation to methods to aerosol minimization, many dentists will embrace traditional and new methods to protect themselves, their family, staff and patient population. Digital impressions can provide to eliminate the handling of contaminated impressions in the office and the dental lab. High-strength, esthetic crowns with quicker lab turnaround can be combined with simplified cementation strategies to minimize exposure to aerosols as well.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Determine the difference between relative isolation and complete isolation
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of digital impressions
Analyze the benefits of high-strength, esthetic crown and bridge materials

DESCRIPTION:
Today it is possible to replace teeth with implants in one minimally invasive surgical procedure. This is predicated on the realization that osseointegration and bone regeneration can occur simultaneously as a tooth root is replaced with an implant fixture. Furthermore, throughout the healing period the provisional restoration guides soft-tissue maturation to optimum contour, esthetics, and substantiveness. The significant benefit is an anatomically correct site restoration with one procedure—truly a patient-preferred sequence from tooth to implant.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Discuss the evolution of immediate implant procedures
Explain the efficacy of immediate implant/immediate provisional restoration as compared to immediate implants without restoration
Describe the clinical and patient advantages supporting the use of immediate implant/immediate provisional restoration

DESCRIPTION:
This course will discuss how to manage forces on the anterior and posterior teeth to stabilize the occlusion, increase neuromuscular harmony, and maximize restoration comfort and longevity. Posterior occlusal contours for composites, single tooth crowns, and larger reconstructions will be examined, as well as why the lingual contours of the anterior teeth are critical for long term stability of the entire occlusion. Finally, how to easily reshape teeth to optimize the forces placed upon them will be considered.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After watching this program, the viewer should be able to
discuss how to manage forces on the anterior and posterior teeth to stabilize the occlusion, increase neuromuscular harmony, and maximize restoration comfort and longevity
relate how to design posterior occlusal contours for composites, single tooth crowns, and larger reconstructions
describe why the lingual contours of the anterior teeth are critical for long term stability of the entire occlusion
discuss how to easily reshape teeth to optimize the forces placed upon them

DESCRIPTION:
One of the tools available for non-surgical periodontal therapy is air abrasion. This innovation allows dental professionals to clean sub-gingivally, as well as on root surfaces and implant surfaces, effectively altering the biofilm and significantly improving oral health. The resulting changes in the biofilm not only decrease the risk of oral diseases but also can help reduce the risks of pregnancy complications, cardiovascular disease, and dementia.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Discuss why air abrasion enhances patient outcomes and makes it easier for clinicians to practice longer with less pain and greater efficiency.
Explain why cleaning implants with soft powders can increase longevity of implants and improve the health of supporting tissues.
Differentiate between various powders and how they are applied and explain why using gentle precision is more effective.
DESCRIPTION:
Nutrition-related chronic diseases can have a deleterious effect on oral health. This webinar highlights the importance of proper nutrition in preventing both systemic and oral health issues, based on available scientific evidence.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
List nutrition-related chronic diseases that affect oral health.
Explain the impact of diet on systemic disease and oral disease.
Discuss the role of nutrition in preventing chronic disease and oral disease.
DESCRIPTION:
Treating periodontal and implant patients presents unique challenges in restoring and maintaining health, function, and esthetics. As treatment evolves from single tooth replacement to full-arch rehabilitation, personalized homecare and maintenance regimens are critical to long-term success. This webinar explores the use of different materials and techniques in non-surgical and surgical therapy, while emphasizing guided biofilm therapy as a universally effective modality for preserving teeth and implant restorations. Special attention is given to cases with advanced periodontal breakdown, generalized recession, and implant needs.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Select the most appropriate materials and techniques for different non-surgical and surgical periodontal and implant procedures.
Identify patient-specific, site-specific, and environmental risk factors that impact therapeutic success.
Design tailored homecare programs that optimize long-term health and prevent disease onset or progression.
