Oral Cancer Screening: It’s More Than Grasping the Tongue

Both dental hygienists and dentists play an important role in the early detection of oral cancer, yet there is a critical gap in screening protocols. After performing an oral cancer screening, patients often say, "No one has ever done that before." This CE webinar breaks down the components of a comprehensive visual and tactile, extraoral, and intraoral evaluation, and the signs and symptoms associated with oral and oropharyngeal cancer as an important component in screening. Using Susan’s instructional screening videos and case presentations, attendees will learn proper extraoral palpation, the importance of identifying lymphadenopathy, evaluation of the thyroid gland, and the oropharynx. ADA and ADHA oral cancer policies and coding will be reviewed.
A comprehensive oral cancer screening isn’t optional. Let’s close the gap together, elevate the standard of care in screening, calibrate dental professionals nationwide, and increase early detection. Attendees will leave inspired and with a renewed commitment to performing this life-saving evaluation – every patient, every visit.    (enter class)

Pre-Endodontic Restoration: Keys to Long-Term Success

Successful endodontic treatment begins long before canal instrumentation. Managing structurally compromised teeth requires careful restorative planning before root canal treatment begins. This CE webinar will present a practical, evidence-based approach to pre-endodontic restoration, focusing on adhesive strategies, isolation, sealing, and management of the remaining tooth structure to improve treatment predictability and long-term outcomes, illustrated with clinical cases.    (enter class)

To Remove or Retain? Smart Excavation Protocols and Vital Pulp Management

Finding the sweet spot between complete caries removal and pulpal survival can feel like walking a tightrope. Remove too little, and you risk a weak bond interface or leaving a cytotoxic environment for the pulp; remove too much, and an accidental exposure sends the tooth down the root canal path. In this clinical CE webinar, we cut through the guesswork of deep caries management. You will learn step by step protocols for using caries detecting dyes to differentiate infected from affected dentin, ensuring maximum bond strength without compromising tooth vitality. Furthermore, we will address the unavoidable cases where deep pulp horns or extensive decay lead to pulp exposure. Moving past traditional calcium hydroxide techniques, we will explore how Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) revolutionized direct pulp capping and partial pulpotomies, turning potential root canal failures into predictable vital pulp successes.    (enter class)

Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease - Part 2

Periodontal disease is no longer understood as a condition driven by biofilm alone. Emerging evidence continues to highlight the role of airway dysfunction, altered breathing patterns, and chronic inflammation as contributing risk factors to periodontal breakdown. This two-part CE webinar series explores the airway-inflammation-periodontal connection through a prevention-focused, hygiene-centered lens. Participants will learn how mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing influence the oral microbiome, salivary function, and inflammatory burden, and how these changes present clinically during routine hygiene visits.    (enter class)
