SUMMARY:Not All Cookies Are Sweet: A Practical Privacy Compliance Guide for Dental Practices - 10/29/26
DESCRIPTION:California’s Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) has become the basis for a growing wave of lawsuits and demand letters targeting businesses that use common website technologies such as cookies\, tracking pixels\, analytics tools\, and online forms. Dental practices may be affected even when these technologies are implemented by website developers\, marketing agencies\, or third-party vendors. \nThis program provides a practical overview of CIPA and its potential application to dental practice websites. The presenters will explain how common website features may create legal risk\, discuss the relationship between CIPA\, HIPAA\, and other privacy requirements\, review recent litigation and legislative developments\, and identify steps dental practices can take to reduce potential exposure. \nFREE For SCCDS Member Dentists – Dinner Included! \nPresented By:

SUMMARY:3D Printed Night Guard Workflow Simplified: Scan\, Design\, Print\, Finish\, and Deliver In-House - Presented by Zylo3D
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 23rd \n12pm – 1pm \nOnline via Zoom \nFREE for SCCDS Members and Guests \n1 CE Unit \nThis course introduces a practical\, office-based workflow for fabricating 3D printed night guards using modern digital dentistry tools. The presentation walks participants through the full process from patient scanning to appliance design\, slicing\, printing\, washing\, curing\, post-processing\, clinical try-in\, occlusal adjustment\, and delivery. \nThe course emphasizes how 3D printing can simplify night guard production by reducing lab dependency\, shortening turnaround time\, improving control over fit and quality\, and allowing same-day or next-day delivery when appropriate. Participants will learn how an integrated digital workflow can improve efficiency for the dental team while enhancing the patient experience. \nKey workflow topics include intraoral scanning\, bite opening with a leaf gauge\, capturing upper and lower arches plus an open-bite registration\, creating adequate clearance for appliance thickness\, using design services or rapid digital design tools\, preparing STL files in slicing software\, selecting compatible printers and resins\, orienting the appliance\, generating supports\, printing\, washing with isopropyl alcohol\, curing\, removing supports\, polishing or finishing\, and performing a quick clinical try-in. \nThe presentation also reviews the role of all-in-one 3D printing systems such as Zylo3D\, design service options\, rapid design tools such as Clinux\, resin considerations including splint/night guard materials\, and practical implementation tips for dental offices beginning in-house appliance production. \n \nBy the end of the session\, participants should understand the major clinical and operational steps required to implement a predictable 3D printed night guard workflow and recognize how digital production can reduce turnaround time\, increase quality control\, reduce costs\, and improve practice efficiency. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this course\, participants should be able to: \n1. Describe the clinical and operational advantages of producing night guards with an in-office 3D printing workflow.\n2. Identify the main steps in a digital night guard workflow\, including scanning\, design\, slicing\, printing\, washing\, curing\, finishing\, and delivery.\n3. Explain how proper intraoral scanning and bite registration affect the fit\, durability\, and clinical success of a printed night guard.\n4. Understand how a leaf gauge can be used to open the bite and create approximately 3 mm of clearance for night guard design.\n5. Compare traditional lab-fabricated appliance workflows with in-house digital fabrication in terms of turnaround time\, cost\, quality control\, and patient experience.\n6. Discuss the role of design services and rapid digital design tools in preparing night guard files for 3D printing.\n7. Recognize basic slicing considerations\, including STL import\, printer/resin selection\, model orientation\, and support generation.\n8. Review post-processing steps including washing\, curing\, support removal\, polishing\, and finishing options.\n9. Describe clinical try-in steps for evaluating fit\, comfort\, retention\, and occlusion before appliance delivery.\n10. Identify practical implementation considerations for training team members and integrating 3D printed appliances into a dental office. \nSpeaker Information\n\nDr. Jahanzabe “Jay” Siddiqui is a practicing dentist and owner of Radiant Dental Care in Chevy Chase\, Maryland. His clinical focus includes digital dentistry\, restorative dentistry\, cosmetic dentistry\, implant dentistry\, same-day dentistry\, and technology-driven patient care. \nDr. Siddiqui uses a fully digital workflow in daily practice\, including intraoral scanning\, CBCT imaging\, 3D printing\, in-office milling\, digital treatment planning\, and same-day restorative procedures. His practice emphasizes precision\, efficiency\, patient education\, and using technology to improve both clinical outcomes and the patient experience. \nIn this course\, Dr. Siddiqui shares a practical approach to implementing 3D printed night guards in a dental office\, with emphasis on simplified workflows\, team delegation\, scanning accuracy\, appliance design\, post-processing\, clinical fit\, and predictable delivery.
