From Vivalearning.com: "A comprehensive discussion of the ever-changing world of Glass Ionomers will address the following questions. Do they still cause sensitivity? Are they any more aesthetic? Are they strong enough? How and where should they be used? Do they adhere to tooth structure? This presentation is a must for any practitioner that is considering an operative procedure in a less than ideal clinical situation."

Current status of visible light activation units and the curing of light-activated resin-based composite materials - review by professor Ario Santini in Dental Update
Light activation units are standard items of equipment in dental practice. It is essential to understand the many factors which affect the polymerization of light-activated resin composite materials and the choice of a light curing unit. In this respect, the development of high-intensity halogen and light-emitting diode (LED) light curing units (LCUs), many with multiple curing modes, has revolutionized light curing techniques. This article reviews visible light activation unit design and development. Factors influencing the effective use of LCUs and polymerization of resin-based composite materials are discussed, as are the steps which should be taken to maintain the efficiency of units in clinical use.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Many LCUs produce lower output intensities than stated by the manufacturer. Newer high power LEDs may present as much of a heat problem as high power quartz tungsten halogen lamps (QTHs). The manufacturer's data should be followed to ensure that the emission spectra of the unit are compatible with the photo-initiator in the resin-based composite material.

Free live dental webcast/webinar @ Pentron
A Science-based Protocol for Direct and Indirect Restorations that will End Post-Operative Sensitivity In Your Practice for Good!
Presenter Dr. Jeffrey Blank, D.M.D.
Thursday 27 May 2010 at 7 pm ET (midnight GMT 28 May 2010)
This webinar is CE accredited (1 CE point)|
It is essential to create a free account at http://pentron.vivalearning.com/ to register a seat. There are about 126 seats left at this moment.
From Pentron and J. Blank: "Reliably bonding direct and indirect restorations to both enamel and dentin is the single most important scientific discipline in modern dentistry. Over the past 18 years, adhesion has increased in effectiveness and predictability, but in turn has become complex and confusing. This CE presentation will address proper product selection, proper use of products and the variables that control the post-operative outcome."

Dental materials - online learning resources
Dental materials lectures by professors Stephen C. Bayne and Jeffrey Y. Thompson for UNC and Michigan DDS students. Other users need special permission but the files can be accessed and viewed free of charge. The lectures cover topics from operative dentistry (pulpal capping, adhesives, composites, amalgam, glass-ionomer cements), fixed prosthodontics (impression materials, waxes, alloys, ceramics) and removable prosthodontics (alloys, bases and teeth). The files are in the form of PDF and PPT handouts, self-study modules and audio files and include study and discussion questions.
University of Berkley webcasts - Structural Aspects of Biomaterials , Instructor Lisa Pruitt. Tooth and bone tissues are addressed in a basic manner necessary to understand the interaction with materials. Dental materials (filling materials, implants) are discussed in terms of mechanical and structural aspects. Mechanical design for longevity includes topics of fatigue, wear, and fracture. Very well explained and understandable to dentists without almost any previous engineering knowledge. This webcast is free to view but cannot be downloaded.
Dental materials webinars by various speakers at dentallearning.com. There are 13 webinars covering topics such as contemporary adhesives, dentine bonding , anterior and posterior composite restorations, sealants and glass ionomers, zirconia, impression materials, CEREC restorations. Among the speakers are renowned lecturers Dr David Pashley and Dr Jorge Perdigao who address the advances in adhesive dentistry and explore the science of dentine bonding. The cost of webinars by Drs Pashley and Perdigao is USD$35 whereas most other webinars direct you to Kerr Learning source where they can be viewed but registration (free) is required. There are even more free webinars at Kerr Learning. All these webinars are CE approved.
Dental ED live lectures and online courses - cost from USD$50 to USD$260. Online courses include composite restorations, endodontic obturation, dental implants, porcelain building techniques, shade selection, direct laminate veneers, zirconica restorations. Upcoming live lectures can be viewed at Dental ED website. Basically, all lectures and courses are audio-visual presentations with more or less theoretical background but with excellent clinical cases.
