As a dental hygienist, are you incorporating bioactive products into your patient care?  We will compare bioactivity, biomimetics and new materials that work with these principles and discuss the background of bioactivity, where it comes from and how the science has progressed as well as dental materials that can help patients attain better oral health. Preventive and restorative bioactive materials will be included in this program with an emphasis on preventive materials and techniques you can use in your practice.

Dental sealants have long been proven to be a safe, effective and cost-effective preventive technique to help patients avoid occlusal decay in posterior teeth....yet they continue to be under-utilized in practice. Let's simplify the process so we can increase dental sealant prevention. Compare the different dental sealant material categories as well as the pros and cons of each. In this hands-on workshop, attendees will practice with three different sealant categories so you can be confident placing all dental sealants for your patients as needed.

Esthetic dental restorative materials are utilized every day in dental practice. To help maintain these materials and avoid potentially damaging them, dental hygienists and assistants need to understand the materials and how to safely and effectively care for them. Compare esthetic dental materials and develop strategies for proper maintenance. Assess direct and indirect restorative materials, whitening, and appropriate compatible preventive materials for post-treatment care. Create post-treatment instructions and patient home care to help your patients to keep their new restorations looking great!
