AEGIS Dental Network

What AEGIS Dental Network does

AEGIS Dental Network, operating under the Conexiant brand, is a US-based dental publishing and continuing education company that serves dental professionals through a multi-brand content and education network. The company operates four distinct publications—Compendium (a peer-reviewed clinical publication rooted in restorative dentistry), Inside Dentistry (general clinical content across endodontics, implantology, and periodontics), Inside Dental Hygiene (preventive care and hygiene-focused content), and Inside Dental Technology (digital workflows, CAD/CAM, and 3D printing for dental labs). Compendium's lineage extends back to 1977, and the portfolio reaches general dentists, hygienists, dental laboratory technicians, and dental specialists across the US dental workforce.

The technology core is a digital publishing and CE-delivery stack spanning the Conexiant-branded websites (Conexiant.com, CompendiumLive.com, InsideDentistry.net, InsideDentalHygiene.com), a video platform (Conexiant TV) with multiple branded shows, and the CDEWorld CE delivery platform that integrates courses, webinars, and eBooks across all publication brands. The Conexiant TV slate includes Product Talk (manufacturer product features), the Clinical Solutions Series, Inside Dentistry's Roundtable, A Strange Curiosity (hosted by Michelle Strange), and IDT Weekly. CDEWorld handles registration, course payment, and CE-credit delivery, with CE courses individually priced between $16 and $18 and selected webinars offered at no cost.

The business operates three revenue streams: per-course and webinar CE fees, subscription access to publications, and advertising/sponsorships from dental manufacturers (A-dec, Nobel Biocare, Bisco Dental, GC America, DMG America). Distribution relies on owned websites, email/newsletter registration systems, and active social channels under the Conexiant brand. The ADA News is affiliated alongside AEGIS publications on the Conexiant platform, providing institutional reach into the official dental community. The company does not disclose revenue, ownership structure, or funding history in the source data.
