Live Dental CE Opportunities This Week
Here are the live dental CE webinars happening May 18–24, 2026.
Diagnosis and Infiltration of Smooth Surface Enamel Defects
Date: Monday, May 18, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM local time
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar
Credits: 1 CEU
Presenter: Dr. Ali Salehi
Sponsor: DMG America
Smooth surface enamel defects can present in several different ways, from early carious demineralization to developmental conditions such as hypoplasia, fluorosis, and hypomineralization. Because these lesions vary by cause, depth, and appearance, accurate diagnosis is essential for selecting the right treatment approach.
This live dental CE webinar explores the diagnosis and minimally invasive management of smooth surface enamel defects. Attendees will learn how lesion topography, etiology, and optical properties influence clinical decision-making.
A major focus of the course is the optical nature of white spot lesions. Early enamel demineralization creates subsurface porosities without surface cavitation, which changes how light passes through enamel and produces the characteristic opaque appearance. The course will also cover how transillumination can help clinicians assess lesion depth and extension more accurately.
The webinar also reviews resin infiltration, including the erosion-infiltration technique. This minimally invasive approach uses a low-viscosity resin to infiltrate enamel porosities and help restore translucency by modifying the lesion’s optical properties. Pre-treatment bleaching will also be discussed as a way to harmonize tooth shade before infiltration and improve esthetic outcomes.
What you’ll learn:
- The causes and clinical characteristics of enamel white spot lesions
- How optical properties affect the appearance of enamel defects
- How to diagnose smooth surface enamel defects more accurately
- The role of transillumination in evaluating lesion depth and extension
- How to determine whether resin infiltration is appropriate
- Clinical workflow and principles of resin infiltration
- Benefits of bleaching before infiltration treatment
- Differences between superficial and deep infiltration approaches
This course is ideal for dentists interested in minimally invasive dentistry, white spot lesion treatment, enamel defect management, and esthetic restorative care.
Autologous Dentin: A Powerful Yet Overlooked Graft in Dentistry
Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM local time
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar
Credits: 1 CEU
Presenter: Dr. Isaac Tawil
Sponsor: KometaBio
Extracted teeth are often discarded, but they may also serve as a biologically compatible grafting material in regenerative dentistry. This CE webinar explores the use of autologous dentin as a bone graft and explains why this material may be valuable in clinical situations where healing and integration are especially important.
Attendees will learn about the biological properties of autologous dentin, including its structural similarity to bone and the presence of inherent growth factors. The course will compare autologous dentin with conventional grafting materials and highlight indications where this approach may support predictable regenerative outcomes.
The webinar will also introduce practical chairside workflows for processing extracted teeth into graft material. By learning how to convert a patient’s own extracted tooth into a bioactive graft, clinicians can better understand how autologous regenerative protocols may fit into daily practice.
What you’ll learn:
- Biological properties of autologous dentin
- How autologous dentin compares with conventional grafting materials
- Why extracted teeth may be used as a biologically compatible graft source
- Clinical indications for autologous dentin grafting
- Applications in compromised or delayed-healing patients
- Chairside workflow for processing extracted teeth into graft material
- How dentin grinding supports an autologous regenerative approach
- Practice-related considerations for adopting this protocol
This course is ideal for dentists, oral surgeons, implant clinicians, and restorative teams interested in bone grafting, regenerative dentistry, and biologically driven treatment options.
Don’t Put Your Business at Risk: Best Practices for Dental Unit Waterlines
Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM local time
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar
Credits: 1 CEU
Presenter: Dr. Karson Carpenter
Sponsor: Compliance Training Partners
Dental unit waterline maintenance is a critical part of infection control and practice compliance. Without proper protocols, bacterial contamination in dental unit waterlines can create risks for patients, staff, and the business side of a dental practice.
This live dental CE webinar reviews best practices for dental unit waterlines, including how bacteria can accumulate, how contamination may affect patient safety, and how practices can meet or exceed CDC guidance. The course will address organisms that may be present in contaminated dental waterlines, including Legionella, Pseudomonas, and non-tuberculous Mycobacteria.
Attendees will also learn how to properly test dental unit water bacteria levels and what to do when a dental unit has bacterial levels above acceptable limits. The course is designed to help dental teams create safer workflows, reduce liability, and maintain a healthy environment for patients and staff.
What you’ll learn:
- How bacteria in dental unit waterlines can threaten patients, staff, and the practice
- Why dental waterline maintenance is important for infection control
- How to meet or exceed CDC guidelines for dental unit waterlines
- Best practices for required dental waterline maintenance
- How to properly test dental unit water bacteria levels
- What to do when bacterial levels are too high
- How to bring a dental unit water system back into compliance
This course is ideal for dentists, hygienists, office managers, compliance coordinators, and dental team members responsible for infection control and practice safety.
Veneers: Beautiful Temporaries and Efficient Cementation
Date: Thursday, May 21, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM local time
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar
Credits: 1 CEU
Presenter: Dr. Gary Radz
Sponsor: Bisco
Successful veneer cases depend on more than the final restoration. After veneer preparation, clinicians must create provisional restorations that support esthetics, function, and tissue health while also following a predictable adhesive cementation workflow.
This CE webinar provides a step-by-step approach to creating beautiful temporary veneers and efficiently cementing final veneer restorations. Attendees will learn how provisional veneers can guide final outcomes, support soft-tissue healing, and help patients preview esthetics before definitive placement.
The course will also review key elements of veneer cementation, including material selection, surface treatment, isolation, try-in procedures, and adhesive bonding techniques. Common clinical pitfalls will be discussed so clinicians can improve consistency, reduce errors, and support long-term veneer success.
What you’ll learn:
- How to create aesthetic and functional temporary veneers
- Why provisional veneers matter for tissue healing, function, and final esthetics
- How temporaries can guide final veneer restorations
- Steps in a predictable veneer cementation workflow
- Material selection for temporization and bonding
- Surface treatment, isolation, try-in, and adhesive bonding considerations
- Common errors in veneer temporization and cementation
- How to improve efficiency, consistency, and long-term clinical outcomes
This course is ideal for dentists who provide cosmetic dentistry, veneer restorations, adhesive dentistry, and esthetic restorative treatment.
