Contemporary Endodontics

Minima 20 stalling isn’t a sign to push harder. Sometimes a bit more work-up is needed.

The full RECIPROC®️ Minima sequence, start to finish - stopper at 2/3, pecks under 3 mm, patency confirmed 1–2 mm past where R20 stopped, and the glide path detour when needed

A few things we’d argue for:

→ Take a static apex locator reading. Don’t lean on the integrated one alone.

→ Most canals finish at an RM 25 - or sidestep to an R25 Blue and let the RM20 be your glide path file.

→ Activate the irrigant. Shaping isn’t everything.

Save this for your next tricky endo. And send it to whoever in your practice is still forcing files

A really great addition to the reciprocating NiTi arsenal👌🏼

Efficient and resistant, super bridging file or for us a glide path file when needed after a size 10 C-Pilot. Can be used without glide path and for difficult anatomies.

Excellent shaping and efficiency and spot-on with the obturation as well. We tend to finish to an RM25 usually.

Welcome RM20👋🏼

We were told nobody wanted an obturation course…

The first one sold out. This one has already sold 9 of 12 places before public launch, leaving just 3 seats remaining. Which probably tells us something.

Obturation is one of the most overlooked areas of endodontics, yet it’s often where some of the most challenging clinical situations arise.

Over 2 hands-on days, we’ll be sharing the techniques, decision making and solutions we’ve developed through more than 15 years of specialist and referral endodontic practice.

The focus isn’t the basics. It’s the nuanced, awkward and occasionally stressful situations that aren’t routinely covered on hands-on courses, diplomas, master’s programmes or specialist training.

The videos in this post are some of our favourites from the last few years. A mixture of techniques, clinical tips, questionable humour and, of course, some absolutely phenomenal music choices (including a healthy dose of Celine Dion🎵).

If you’ve enjoyed our content online, come and spend 2 days with us in person. Only 3 places remain.

The “Kiss and Goodbye”💋👋🏻 doesn’t always work. Why? Assuming the GP has been correctly measured, why doesn’t it always seat?

It can happen with newer file systems that use smaller wires and softer, more flexible metals.

You may need to reach working length a couple of times to fully impart the intended canal shape. Sometimes, simply lingering at working length for a little longer is all that’s needed.

Scroll to see an interesting delayed presentation👀 Is CBCT a critical imaging modality for trauma? For us – Yes. CBCT offers the highest diagnostic yield for trauma diagnosis and treatment planning in these complex cases.

This case – presented after 1 week to us Circus Dental

Initial diagnosis and expert management by – UR2 luxated and out of position. Immediate surgical repositioning, emergency access to UR2, UR1 and new splint.

Over to us for endo ➡️ RCT UR2, UR1, and UL1.

3 month control looking good so far.

Global EndoForum 2026 Madrid🇪🇸 3 days of pure endo pleasure. Great to see old friends, meet new ones and share ideas and thoughts around where our brilliant specialty is.

Thank you Dentsply Sirona for inviting us and trusting us to present in front of our PEERS

Time to get back to the clinic, get that NiTi spinning… and maybe some sleep😴

We’ve got the clinical aspects, the science behind it, the protocols to give and the geekiness to dive into all that is endo🤓

The basics, the advanced and everything in between📚 Clinically relevant scenarios and protocols that you can take back to your clinic. We also try to discuss cases that you send us in short clinical discussion formats📩🗣️

This is the online playbook to guide you through the marvellous Endo World🌍 And it keeps growing and expanding!

Send us your questions, topics and aspects of endo that we can cover, and the library of videos will continue to grow.

Our vision is to create a clinically focussed, community based endodontic training platform, for clinicians at any stage on their endodontic journey🤝🏻
