CDE Calendar of Courses

February 27 - March 1, 2026 | TRAVEL & LEARN | Limited Enrolment

Join Drs. Mohamed Gebril and Rana Tarzemany on the spectacular slopes of Whistler this winter to learn about digital dentistry, implant complications and soft tissue management around teeth and implants

February 2026 - June 2026 | LIVE WEBINAR, ONLINE STUDY CLUB | Limited Enrolment

Participate in this fun and informative study club and become confident in taking care of patients with common medical conditions. These interactive sessions will teach you how to manage patients with a variety of medical conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, joint replacements, diabetes and cancer. It will also teach you how to treat patients who are using medications such as blood thinners, antiresorptives and antibiotic prophylaxis.

Friday, February 20, 2026 | 8 AM - 9:30 AM (Pacific) | LIVE WEBINAR

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has transformed dental imaging by providing three-dimensional views that enhance diagnosis and treatment planning across a wide range of maxillofacial conditions. However, its acquisition process differs fundamentally from conventional two-dimensional modalities, which often makes CBCT appear complex or intimidating. By demystifying CBCT protocols and focusing on task-specific acquisition strategies, clinicians can maximize the diagnostic value of this technology while minimizing radiation exposure, fully embracing the ALADA principle. The result is safer imaging for patients and smarter decisions for clinicians.

Thursday, February 26, 2026 | 5 PM - 6:30 PM (Pacific) | LIVE WEBINAR

A review of treatment options ranging from non-invasive whitening, to microinasive abrasion and resin infiltration, and a novel digitally designed matric for composite veneers.

Wednesday, March 11, 2026 | 5 PM - 7 PM (Pacific) | LIVE WEBINAR

This presentation will review basic principles of intraoral scanning that clinicians should know about to control the accuracy of intraoral scanning. Scanning strategies and indications/contraindications of intraoral scanning will be discussed based on recently published studies. Various clinical examples will be presented to describe how the principles discussed in this presentation can be used to improve patient care outcomes.

Tuesday, March 17, 2026 | 5 PM - 7 PM (Pacific) | LIVE WEBINAR

This course will review the biomechanical principles unique to CAT, highlight strategies to address discrepancies between planned and achieved results, and examine evidence-based approaches for corrections of some malocclusion using CAT.

This lecture, delivered by a board-certified periodontal surgeon and expert in biomaterials, will explore the complex interplay between bone trauma, surgical wound
healing, and the materials used to support regeneration.

Friday, March 27, 2026 | 8 AM - 10 AM (Pacific) | LIVE WEBINAR

Diagnosis in oral health care relies on systematic knowledge and recognition of common clinical patterns. This course reviews the most frequent oral mucosal
conditions, accounting for the majority of patient consultations, and provides practical updates on their diagnosis and management. From aphthae to zoster, participants willgain greater confidence in identifying lesions and applying appropriate treatment algorithms.

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 | 5 PM - 6:30 PM (Pacific) | LIVE WEBINAR

This comprehensive course explores the contemporary application of Resin-Bonded Fixed Dental Prostheses (RBFDPs) as a conservative and effective alternative to dental implants for anterior tooth replacement. Initially introduced in the 1970s, RBFDPs have evolved significantly with advances in adhesive dentistry, ceramic materials, and digital workflows such as CAD/CAM.

April 25 & 26, 2026 | HANDS-ON AT UBC | Limited Enrolment

This two day course is designed to teach dentists the procedure of lateral ridge augmentation via guided bone regeneration. Bone healing patterns, grafting materials & membranes, indications & management of complications, atraumatic extraction and socket preservation with bone grafting will be addressed in detail. On Saturday, participants will attend didactic lectures, and Sunday's session includes two interactive video presentations and hands-on surgery training, in simulation with animal mandibles. This course is most beneficial for the beginner and intermediate implant dentist.

Friday, May 1 - Sunday, May 3, 2026 | HANDS-ON AT UBC | Limited Enrolment

This hands-on course offers instruction in all aspects of adult minimal sedation to include nitrous oxide/oxygen inhalation and oral sedation, as well as effective methods in dealing with anxiety control in general practice. Participants will learn various techniques and will have the opportunity to try several types of nitrous oxide and oxygen delivery units. The three day course satisfies the requirements for state or provincial dental boards or colleges who require 21 hours of continuing education to certify for combined inhalation and oral adult minimal sedation. The two day course is designed to achieve certification in nitrous oxide/oxygen inhalation sedation, with 14 hours of continuing education.

Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31, 2026 | HANDS-ON AT UBC | Limited Enrolment

This comprehensive 2-day program is designed to train clinicians in removable and fixed full-arch implant prosthodontics, integrating both didactic foundations and typodont-based hands-on training. The focus is on prosthetic workflows, digital planning, impressions, verification, try-ins, delivery, and maintenance.

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 | 6 PM - 8 PM (Pacific) | LIVE WEBINAR

This lecture will present in detail how to manage medical emergencies. The signs and symptoms of possible emergencies will be presented so that the participants will be able to differentiate between them. Emergencies discussed in this presentation will include syncope, angina, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, stroke, allergy, asthma, and local anaesthetic toxicity.

Friday, September 25 - Sunday, September 27, 2026 | HANDS-ON AT UBC | Limited Enrolment
