In general, the ADA CERP credits offered through our platform are approved by local Dental Boards. However, CE requirements may change at any time. Therefore, all dental professionals are encouraged to check with their state dental board to confirm the exact CE credits hours required for their particular license renewal and the total number of credit hours allowed through home study.

To pass the self-assessment, the total number of correct answers must be at least 75% of the number of questions. For a 4 question self-assessment you need to provide at least 3 correct answers while for an 8 question self-assessment you need to provide at least 6 correct answers.

As an attendee, you will require a computer with audio, a high-speed Internet connection and Adobe Flash player, which is already installed in 99% of computers.

Additionally we suggest installing the “Zoom Application” which you can download here: https://zoom.us/download

Your webinar experience depends on your Internet connection speed. While most Internet connections will allow you to have an optimal webinar experience, if your internet connection speed or stability fluctuates during the webinar, your experience will be sub-optimal.

Many of our webinars are recorded. If the program will be available for on-demand viewing it will made available within 2 weeks of the live webinar. You can locate the lecture you are interested in viewing on-demand under the specialty headers below the Featured Programs.
