We are pleased to share a special initiative by the Malaysian Endodontic Society for colleagues who are currently serving in the government sector. We hope this programme will help you address many of the endodontic challenges encountered in daily clinical practice.

This masterclass is offered on a complimentary basis with registration for the conference.

Book your spot early.

Throwback to the MDSA Late Evening Study Club.

Thank you for all the kind words and encouragement. I'm truly glad that many of you found the session beneficial and learned something useful.

I wouldn't consider myself a legend by any means, but I do hope I managed to inspire a few more students to appreciate endodontics a little more.

One of the questions from the Q&A that we didn't manage to address was: "Should students still consider Endodontics as a future career path?"

My answer is a definite yes.

With advances in technology, magnification, imaging, and contemporary treatment techniques, many endodontic procedures are becoming more predictable, efficient, and clinician-friendly. The field is evolving, and we will continue to adapt alongside these changes.

If you enjoy Endodontics even when it feels challenging, that's already a good sign. Passion makes the hard work worthwhile, and with consistent effort, your skills will naturally improve over time.

At the end of the day, our goal remains the same: to save more teeth and help patients keep them functional for longer. Looking at the outcomes we can achieve today compared to the past, I believe we are moving in the right direction.

If Endodontics excites you, don't let its difficulty discourage you. It may well be the field where you'll make the greatest impact.

My last piece of advice - Work hard. When things get difficult, work even harder. You will overcome them.

An inspiring day judging at the National Dental Student Scientific Conference research presentations. Got to see so many interesting topics, bright ideas, and passionate young researchers showcasing their work.

To all students who presented today, congratulations for reaching this far— from winning in your respective universities and presenting yet once more against other universities.

Research is far more than medals or certificates. The ability to think critically, defend your ideas, and persist through hardship are the real skills that matter in the long run. Those experience matters far beyond any medals that could be won.

Incidentally, it was a pleasure to judge alongside my former dean, who taught me almost 20 years ago. A reminder of how quickly time passes, and how mentorship comes full circle in academia.

Hope to see some students to pursue further in research and be the next generation to teach. All the best.

Ever seen C shape canal configuration on an upper molar?

Canals can communicate between M and D canals, M and Pa canals, D and Pa canals and occasionally all three.

Common mistake I frequently see is missed second buccal canal when roots are fused.

In this case, the distal canal was detected 2 mm inside the mesial canal. While, mesial canal joins with the palatal canal.

My go to files for isthmuses are always FKG XP Shaper and XP finisher. Highly useful files for C shape canals.

Will review the patient again in 6 months.

Sharing a very embarrassing case with some learning points — a patient was referred for management of a separated file, and I ended up referring the case back with an additional separated file.

At presentation, there was already a separated instrument in the MB2 canal. After successfully bypassing the fragment, I unfortunately separated another instrument right at the end of canal instrumentation (the blue arrow) - a true “super suey” moment. It was during the busy pre–Chinese New Year period and, admittedly, i got a little impatient.

I was prepared to take out my Terauchi tip but after some thought, retrieval may not be necessary and would likely result in unnecessary dentine sacrifice. So, I chose to follow up.

At the 3-month review, there was complete bone formation and resolution of the periapical mucositis.

Cases like this reinforce an important principle in endodontics: successful outcomes are driven primarily by effective canal disinfection.

Key reminders:

1) Always use rubber dam. Take time to disinfect the canals. Don't rush.

2) Make decisions based on biological objectives, not procedural ego or radiographic perfection.

3) Be accountable. Inform patients honestly whenever instrument breaks. Let your indemnity deal with the patient.

Great sharing yesteray at MIDS Conference on the topic of cracked teeth.

From diagnosis to decision-making, managing cracked teeth remains one of the most frequently encountered situations in dentistry. Sometimes what seems hopeless can still be saved—with the right diagnosis, timing, and treatment approach.

Is your view on cracked teeth much different now?

Also, the Galla night was a nice catch up with so many friends and colleagues.

When it's difficult to achieve patency in distal canals of lower molars, always consider the possibility of a sharply curved apical exit—often towards the distal.

In root canal treatment, every millimeter matters (Ng et al., 2011). As advised, if you are stuck, please don't force your way. You saw how my fingers moved - no force involved.

To everyone who joined the workshop yesterday, thank you for the great energy and engagement. Hope you enjoyed the sharing as much as I did.

Sometimes, the body heals in ways we still cannot fully explain.

This patient with an endo-perio lesion on tooth 37 had severe bone loss extending all the way to the apex, making the prognosis quite questionable. With such extensive destruction, the blood supply is often compromised, and we were unsure if the tooth could even be saved. He was supposed to be reviewed by periodontist Dr. Tan Sze Jun, but defaulted treatment for almost two years.

When he finally returned for review, an OPG was taken to reassess his overall periodontal condition—and to our surprise, the bone showed remarkable healing without any intervention.

Still not sure what magic happened there, but cases like this remind us that the human body can sometimes be the best healer of all.

This workshop is worth RM1800 per participant, packed with practical clinical tips on managing blocked and ledged canals.

Live demonstration of separated file retrieval when bypassing is not possible — completed in less than 2 minutes.

Hopefully after this, you’ll create fewer endodontic headaches for your lecturers.

Stay connected. Wishing you all less Endo drama and Endo disasters.
