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: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.
