1.5 CE Credits
This course demonstrates a predictable step-by-step technique for crown preparation that is essentially sequenced backwards from what nearly all dentists were taught in dental school. With a focus on precise margination and adequate reduction in critical areas through the use of depth cuts, the Reverse Preparation technique gives dentists a way to prepare teeth that will have their laboratory technician complimenting their preparations.

Online CE CourseSoft Tissue Management and Impression TechniqueIn this course, Dr. Michael DiTolla presents the rationale for gaining the maximum amount of lateral retraction of the gingival tissues without damaging the patients’ biology, in order to provide the technician with an unobstructed view of the prep margin. -
Online CE CourseImplants: How Physics Plays a Role in SuccessThis course provides a dental-specific discussion of the physics of implantology. Implant treatment is subject to the same universal laws of physics that affect our daily lives — and these forces must be managed properly for implant case success. -
Online CE CourseIntroduction to Mini ImplantsThis course provides an introduction to mini dental implants, with a focus on mandibular complete denture stabilization. Topics include indications, benefits, and surgical and restorative procedures required.
