Hidden Risks in the Operatory: Infection Control Gaps During Everyday Procedures Reserve Seat Presenter: India Chance, RDH CE Supporter: VOCO America Thu  9/17/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  9/17/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Infection control in the dental operatory often focuses on major protocols, yet many risks arise from small, routine oversights that occur during everyday procedures. These seemingly minor gaps such as improper handling of materials, inconsistent surface asepsis, and lapses in workflow can significantly increase the potential for cross-contamination and compromise both patient and provider safety.

This one-hour CE webinar will highlight common infection control missteps observed in clinical settings and provide practical, compliant strategies to reduce risk. Special attention will be given to the handling and management of chairside materials, including restorative products, and how proper utilization can support safer clinical workflows. Participants will leave with actionable techniques to strengthen infection control practices, improve compliance with OSHA and CDC guidelines, and create a more consistent culture of safety within the operatory.

Beyond the Gums: Airway, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease – Part 2 Reserve Seat Presenter: LD Coaching CE Supporter: VOCO America Thu  10/8/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Thu  10/8/26    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

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. Dental hygienists will gain practical tools for recognizing airway-related red flags, implementing simple screening strategies within their scope, communicating findings confidently with patients, and integrating prevention-based periodontal care models that support long-term stability.

Oral Cancer Screening: It’s More Than Grasping the Tongue Reserve Seat Presenter: Susan Cotten, RDH CE Supporter: VOCO America Tue  11/3/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Wed  11/4/26    0:00 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

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. ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )

To Remove or Retain? Smart Excavation Protocols and Vital Pulp Management Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Art Kevin de Leon CE Supporter: VOCO America Mon  11/30/26    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Tue  12/1/26    0:00 AM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

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.
