Referred retreatment case with a fractured instrument.

Working length was regained and disinfection beyond the fragment became possible.

Happy with the healing at 9 months😁🙏🏽

Had a great time at the Millners Congress this year! I had the privilege of presenting a session on Deep Margin Elevation and what an incredible experience it was.

It was wonderful to meet so many respected colleagues, reconnect with old friends and spend quality time with my amazing SVL colleagues!

A huge thank you to Millners for putting together such a fantastic congress and for your continued support. I loved every second of it and am already looking forward to the next one! 🙌🏽🦷

Referral for file removal in MB canal of a 46.

Bypassed on inner wall, first EDTA, then olive oil, some ultrasonic activation on the inner wall to get instrument dancing and then XP endo shaper to remove.

Dentine preservation is key with these type of cases

Single visit endo of a curved 37

A few thoughts when it comes to curved canals:

1. Negotiate to working length with hand files first
2. Never push or force rotary files
3. Smaller taper rotary systems can help preserve anatomy and reduce stress in curved canals
4. In this case, I used SlimShaper Pro
5. Never instrument dry, always have hypochlorite in the canals when using rotary instruments

Tooth 36 presented with a necrotic pulp and a draining sinus tract due to a chronic apical abscess

Managed over two visits with calcium hydroxide as the intracanal medicament.

As always, prioritise understanding anatomy, disinfection, respecting biology and creating the conditions suitable for healing.

This 36 had some very interesting canal anatomy that required careful exploration, irrigation and management throughout treatment.

Some healing 2 months post op👌🏽

Really excited to be part of the Wright Millners Congress happening on 30 & 31 May 2026 🔥

I’ll be hosting a hands-on session on Deep Margin Elevation (DME) where we’ll cover practical workflows, isolation, margin elevation and restorative-driven concepts that you can take straight back into practice.

The speaker line-up is incredible and it’s going to be an amazing weekend of learning, networking and great dentistry. 🚀

Would love to see you there!

RCT 36

Accessed through an existing zirconia crown.

Disinfection remained the priority - copious irrigation with full-strength sodium hypochlorite, followed by EDTA and thorough sonic activation.

A reminder that success in endodontics is less about how much dentine you remove and more about how effectively you disinfect the system.

RESTO DRIVEN ENDO

Tooth 16 referred after previously initiated endodontic treatment.

The aim was to locate MB2, improve isolation and restorability with a deep margin elevation and pre-endo build-up, then complete the root canal treatment and restoration.

For me, resto-driven endo means managing the tooth as a whole - not just the canals. The restorative foundation, isolation and coronal seal all form part of the endodontic treatment.
