This is a moment of unprecedented change in the dental market! I know, I am Dr. Mark Durham, holding the distinguished Gordon and Rella Christensen Presidential Endowed Chair and serving as an Associate Professor at the University of Utah. In collaboration with Gordon and Rella Christensen at the legendary Clinicians Report—a 48-year-old non-profit educational organization that rigorously evaluates nearly every new dental product introduced to the market—I hold vital insights into this evolving landscape. In this ACDE webinar, I will explore and update you on the NEW changesemerging to enhance the dynamic context-of-care for your patients.

The purpose of this workshop is to describe recovery capital as a predictor of long-term addiction recovery. In part one, we begin by characterizing substance use disorder (SUD) as a chronic condition. In part two, we lean into the complexity of the heterogeneity of SUD and recovery as a process of change. Finally, in part three, we focus on building community recovery capital to promote recovery in our communities.

This course will focus on providing the practicing dentist with the knowledge and skills needed to diagnose and manage common oral diseases. Participants will learn what to look for inidentifying common oral lesions, how to develop differential diagnosis for unusual oral lesions, how to communicate with the patient about oral pathology, and how to work with their oral pathology specialist.

Full-arch implant-supported fixed prosthesis is one of the most advocated treatment options for patients with failing dentition. This treatment requires coordinating a thorough prosthetic and surgical plan. Esthetic, occlusal, and biological considerations must be integrated into the treatment plan. It is one of the most challenging dental procedures. Luckily, with the newest technology of face scans, virtual patients, virtual articulators, and computer-assisted implant surgery with the stackable guide, a full arch immediate implant placement, and loading case can be planned and executed seamlessly with predictable outcomes. This lecture will cover the key issues related to this full digital workflow.

The underworld of subgingival biofilm can be a challenging environment for clinicians. Traditionally, the battle against biofilm communities thriving subgingivally has been fought with a blend of hand and power-driven instruments. In the last 5 years in North America and for over 20 years in Europe, indications for using air-pressured mechanical biofilm disruption technology with the use of low abrasive-based powders for both supragingival and subgingival biofilm have been developed. This evidence-informed review will explore the air-flow mechanism and its clinical application for biofilm management.

Occlusion plays a crucial role in achieving long-term success of dental treatments. One of the major clinical challenges is to understand and apply occlusal concepts depending on the planned prosthesis and various functional and esthetic elements. This lecture will present fundamental occlusal concepts in removable, fixed and implant restorations. The lecture will also address the diagnostic analysis, the decision-making process, treatment planning and prosthodontic treatment of the fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation. Finally, useful clinical tips will be shared to overcome common clinical challenges related to occlusion.

The course includes the design principles of removable partial denture, specifications for different components, how material selections play a role in design and the digital applications in removable partial prosthetics

This course provides a systematic examination of malocclusion, elucidating its physiological and psychosocial consequences. The core content delves into the primary motivations driving patients towards orthodontic interventions, highlighted through case studies. Key areas covered include functional determinants, aesthetic factors, and spatial challenges.
