Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | May-June 2015 41endo tribune < Page 40 being developed in dentistry? I am a faculty at the University so the students keep my up to date by making me read and challenging me all the time. Known for your research and development in material de- velopment for root canal fill- ings, can you share with us specifically your philosophy of Biological Endo? Endodontics is simply microbial control and all the research and technologies I have developed are directed at either removing microbes from the root canal or sealing the canal after the in- strumentation and irrigation is completed. What are the main advan- taged of Bioceramic sealers like TotalFill BC Sealer? These sealers do not shrink and wash out so they have tremen- dous advantage over traditional sealers that do. Because of these advantages the sealer does not have to be in a thin layer which changes the entire philosophy of root filling. There are different products in the range, what are their difference and purpose? Bioceramics are a specific class of material. MTA is the first bi- oceramic material for endodon- tic use. It is mixed to a putty con- sistency and used for vital pulp therapy and endodontic surgery as a root filling material. Newer bioceramics are similar in prop- erties and have better handling properties and are used for simi- lar purposes. Presently there is only one premixed bioceramic (TotalFill) that has the consist- ency that is suitable for a root canal sealer and this is the one that is revolutionizing the way we think of how a root filling should be done. Due to your extensive aca- demic background and clini- cal experience, you have start- ed Next Level Endodontics, can you share with us more information on this? I am trying to combine my aca- demic expertise with the need for efficiency and profitability in private practice. Next Level En- dodontics is my private teach- ing center that will remind the dentist of what is essential for success in root canal treatment and evaluates new technologies in order to achieve this aim pre- dictably and in a reasonable of time. We offer a wide range of courses to fit the level and time commitment that the dentist has available. Do you plan to extend Nexte Level endodontics course in the MEA region? Yes – hopefully we will have a branch in Dubai in the next year How came the idea of the new XP-endo Finisher? We have understood the need to clean the canal in all dimensions but have been limited because the files are round but the canals are oval. The engineers and re- search people at FKG were able to manipulate the martinsite and austenite phases of the NiTi Dr. Martin Trope, past Endo pro- gram director at University of Penn- sylvania, and chairman of the Endo division at Temple University Dental School and University of North Caro- lina Dental School TotalFill BC GP Points TotalFill BC Points TotalFill BC Syringe TotalFill BC Obturation Kit TotalFill BC RRM Jar Root canal anatomy TotalFill BC Pellets TotalFill BC RRM on Spatula Obturation with TotalFill • NuOss® is physically and chemically comparable to the mineral matrix of human bone • NuOss® is one of the most reliable bone substitutes used by dental professionals • Natural anorganic bovine bone matrix; available in 6 different forms to best suit your surgical needs YOUR GENERATION OF BONE REGENERATION.

What are the advantages of the XP-endo Finisher and did it change your vision of endo treatments? The advantage is that it reaches areas that were previously left untouched by round files. In addition it causes the disinfect- ing irrigants to work in a turbu- lent fashion which makes them much more effective. Would you like to share any- thing else with the readers of Dental Tribune MEA? My advice is always the same: the biologic requirements for successful root treatment always stay the same. The technology continues to change but is not al- ways useful to reach the biologi- cal goals. An educated dentist can evaluate new technologies in the context of the biological requirements and change only if there is an improvement in this direction.
