SUMMARY:Is It Possible? Predictability\, Limitations\, and Heroics in Tooth Preservation
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will explore the complex decision-making process behind saving teeth from an endodontic perspective. Through real-world cases and input from current literature\, we will examine when preservation is predictable\, when it is not\, and when extraordinary measures we’ve taken have succeeded – or failed.Course objectives: \n\n\n\n\nReview clinical and radiographic tools that are helpful in diagnosis\, treatment planning\, and determining prognosis.\n\n\n\nRecognize situations where treatment outcomes are less reliable and extraction may be the better choice.\n\n\n\nDiscuss our “heroic” attempts with what has worked\, what hasn’t\, and the lessons we have learned from pushing the limits of biology and technique.

SUMMARY:Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders: Screening\, Red Flags\, and When to Refer
DESCRIPTION:Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) can significantly influence craniofacial development\, orthodontic stability\, airway health\, and overall oral function. Dental professionals are often the first to observe signs of dysfunctional oral habits\, mouth breathing\, low tongue posture\, and atypical swallowing patterns\, yet many clinicians lack a systematic approach to screening and referral. \n\n\n\nThis course will review the etiology and clinical presentation of OMDs and provide practical screening strategies that can be incorporated into routine dental examinations.Participants will learn to identify red flags associated with airway compromise\, sleep-disordered breathing\, malocclusion\, and temporomandibular dysfunction.Guidance will also be provided on interdisciplinary collaboration and appropriate referral pathways.

SUMMARY:Implant Crowns Are Not Teeth: Rethinking the Biological Connection
DESCRIPTION:Many clinicians approach implant crowns as direct replacements for teeth—but this mindset can lead to esthetic compromises\, biomechanical failures\, and long-term complications. In this compelling two-hour online course\, you’ll learn why implant restorations require a fundamentally different design approach. Dr. Stevenson\, an expert in evidence-based restorative protocols\, will guide you through the critical differences between tooth-borne and implant-supported prostheses\, and how to select the right abutment\, impression technique\, and material for each case. Whether you’re placing single units or restoring full arches\, this course will help you make biologically sound decisions that protect your patient’s investment—and your reputation.Learning Objectives:At the conclusion of this course\, participants will be able to:1. Evaluate how biological and biomechanical differences between teeth and implants influence restorative planning and design.2. Apply clinical decision-making principles to select abutments\, retention methods\, and materials that enhance long-term implant success.3. Design a workflow for implant crown delivery that emphasizes esthetics\, occlusion\, and long-term stability.

SUMMARY:Year-End Financial Planning for Dental Practice Owners
DESCRIPTION:As year-end approaches\, dental practice owners face important decisions involving taxes\, cash flow\, business investments\, and retirement planning. This program will bring together two complementary perspectives to help dentists make those decisions more intentionally. \n\n\n\nLaura Phillips – of The Phillips Group – will focus on 2026 year-end tax planning for both the practice and the individual owner\, including relevant tax law developments\, business and personal planning opportunities\, and practical cash flow management. \n\n\n\nSheri Pan – of Pantheon Wealth Planning – will then address personal and business retirement planning\, including how practice owners can strategically use retirement plans and long-term financial strategies to build wealth. \n\n\n\nThe program will conclude with a joint panel-style Q&A focused on situations where tax\, cash flow\, retirement\, and broader financial planning intersect.

SUMMARY:Difficult Conversations and De-Escalation Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Workplace conflict is an unavoidable challenge that can impact productivity\, morale and overall performance. When not addressed\, it can lead to absenteeism\, reduced job performance\, and strained customer relationships. However\, most employees are unaware of the power they have to resolve conflicts on their own. This training will provide employees with the essential skills of active listening\, non-judgmental questioning\, and open honest communication to foster a collaborative work environment and empower individuals to resolve conflicts effectively\, improving both team dynamics and organizational success.Learning objectives: \n\n\n\n\nResolve Conflict Independently: Address workplace friction early using practical communication tools before issues escalate.\n\n\n\nDe-escalate Tense Situations: Use active listening and open-ended questioning to lower defensiveness and uncover the root cause of misunderstandings.\n\n\n\nGive Feedback Without Blame: Focus on concrete facts and observations rather than personal judgments or vague frustrations.\n\n\n\nBuild Collaborative Solutions: Turn difficult conversations into clear\, actionable agreements that keep team goals on track.
