The “Why” Behind Centric Relation

Posted on: 01.22.21 | by Lee Ann Brady

Teeth biting on measuring tool

The words "Centric Relation" provoke emotions in all of us. It may be discomfort, skepticism or confusion. In this program we will look at what Centric Relation is by definition and why it can benefit us in some patients. The program will also debunk the challenges of recording Centric Relation so you have some new tools to work with in your clinical Read More

Restorative vs Diagnostic Dental Bite Records

Posted on: 11.25.20 | by Lee Ann Brady

Side view of teeth model with pink bite material

The accuracy of our bite records correlates directly to the accuracy of the information available from a set of models. Small inaccuracies during the fabrication of restorations or dental appliances can lead to immense amounts of chair time and frustration. In this webinar we will look at the difference in how we take and use bite records depending on the Read More

Treating Anterior White Spot Lesions

Posted on: 10.05.20 | by Lee Ann Brady

Front teeth using Icon Pre-Op

White and brown spot lesions are very common on teeth, and can be very distressing for our dental patients. The treatment plan for restoring these teeth can feel aggressive, especially in very young patients. Today we have two different protocols for eliminating and improving these lesions without restorations. We will look at the effectiveness of bleaching Read More

Diagnosing Tooth Wear: Attrition Versus Erosion

Posted on: 08.24.20 | by Lee Ann Brady

Molar teeth showing severe wear

Tooth wear is incredibly common, but is not always normal. One of the challenges is determining when the wear you observe is normal versus pathologic. Tooth wear that is progressing at faster than normal rates can be caused by multiple different etiologies, and management depends on identifying the cause. We will look closely at the unique patterns Read More

Implant Emergence Profile: Perfecting The Tissue Interface

Posted on: 06.20.20 | by Lee Ann Brady

The success of a dental implant restoration in the esthetic zone is based on reproducing both the tooth form and color, yet also reproducing the appearance and position of the biology. As challenging as the tooth is to create, the biological aspects are even more complex and unpredictable. In this webinar we will look at the risk factors for biologic Read More

Tooth Preparation: Reduction or Adequate Restorative Space

Posted on: 05.09.20 | by Lee Ann Brady

Webinar Title Page

Most dentists discuss tooth preparation for indirect restorations and use the word "reduction". Did we under-reduce or over-reduce? This paradigm works pretty well when you are doing single crowns in the posterior and recreating the existing size and shape of the pre-operative tooth. But as soon as we get to more complex preparations like inlays, onlays and Read More

Incisal Edges: More Than Just a Pretty Smile

Posted on: 03.29.20 | by Lee Ann Brady

upper and lower front teeth not symetrical

The incisal edges of anterior teeth play a vital role in both the esthetics of a smile and the functional health of the system. In this webinar we are going to look at how we combine esthetic treatment planning of incisal edge position with optimizing forces to achieve functional success. The anatomy of incisal edges allow for reduced muscle activity and Read More

Ever Wonder Why Occlusal Changes Work?

Posted on: 02.10.20 | by Lee Ann Brady

Teeth with marking indicating incisal pitch

It is a common misconception that dental patients with a malocclusion are at higher risk of developing temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The risk factor for developing TMD or breaking teeth is not how the patient's teeth touch, but how much they touch. The confusion occurs because as a management treatment we change occlusal contacts. The relationship Read More
