Dental Tribune United Kingdom Edition

17Endo TribuneNovember 2013United Kingdom Edition of opening my practice, all of mine and the assistant’s dental treatments have been record- ed. All of these practice diaries do still exist, however, the pa- tient’s file cards are no longer complete. So I was able to count the number of endodontic treat- ments. How many root canal treat- ments have you done so far? I did 16,108 endodontic treat- ments with N2 in permanent teeth from 7/1969 to 12/2005. My assistants made it to 10,436 N2 endodontic treatments in the time from 04/1972 to 12/2001. For comparison: In his book “Endodontic Therapy” (5th ed. 1998), the renowned endodontist Weine reports about 18,500 endodontic treat- ments he had personally done. Only 22 (five done by myself, 17 by an assistant) out of more than 8,800 computerised vital endodontic treatments between the years 1985 – 1999 required more than one appointment. I haven’t counted thousands of vital amputations and endo- dontic treatments of deciduous teeth. How are your experiences with these cases? Several times I tried to treat deciduous teeth with Ca (OH)2. I judged the subse- quent pain rate as being too high. It applies to all (dental) medical disciplines that the practitioner virtually loses face the more a patient has to see the doctor because of unsolved problems (pain after endodon- tic treatment, surgery, pressure marks). How were you convinced to use N2 permanently? If not overfilled, a vital endo- dontic treatment with N2 never ends up in pain, including endo treatment of deciduous teeth. How did you get into contact with Dr. Sargenti? I wanted to meet Dr. Sargenti whilst on vacation in Switzer- land in 1989. He gave me quite a short shrift at his doorstep. In the year 1990, it was Dr. Sargen- ti who asked me for contact. He had suffered from a stroke and was in need of help. He knew that I had done a lot of endo UK’s No.1 Producer of * With Our Cash Back Stickers Only £55.00 Per UnitE l i t e The Complete Service Dental Laboratory RevolutionaryRestoration * Based on research of other UK based BruxZir registered laboratories. ** Results are based on research carried out by Glidewell Laboratories in the USA.
