- The problem I found with endodontics was that the more you learn, the less you can cut corners, and the longer it ends up taking!
I was keen to learn how to be more efficient with endodontics so I brought on Dr Omar Ikram to talk us through his sequencing and protocols for RCTS.
Turn those challenging appointments into seamless, lunchtime-friendly successes.

As a dental student, I could cry from happiness because I've found your channel! Thank You a lot for these educational podcasts, doc! I've been listening to podcasts in my free time instead of music for years and these are perfect!! I'm so glad to find good specialised dentistry videos on internet
wow you've made my day and I am so excited to share my future content - we are working hard on developing this channel!
6:15 , how to tell if two canals converge.
A way I like to check is to use two 10-files. Place one to apex. Take the other one, connect to an apex locator, and put in the second canal. If it's short of the apex, but the apex locator is beeping like it's at the apex, it means they converge (even though the "short" file is clearly not at the apex, it is touching the 1st file, which completes the circuit). The reason I like that method is I can now measure the "short" file to see exactly how long that canal is before it converges.
Just subscribed to your channel. It's fantastic knowledge!
Jaz, just wanna say your channel is amazing. Im a young GP recent grad in the US and a big fan. Practicing starting off in a new job can be very difficult, lonely, and overwhelming. Listening to your podcasts make me feel like im growing, and learning.
Made my day - thank you Doc and wishing you the best in your journey. Next episode is on dental photography!
Your posdcasts are simply amazing.. They are filled with practical and real tips. A great resource for general practitioners. Each and every episode is worth listening to.Keep up the good work !
thank you doc!
Great video, love you sense of humour and u tell it straight!
Could you have a similar podcast with a gp who does tons of endo? I feel like that could be more relatable.
Very good presentation. Thanks.
Keep going with your brilliant videos!! I'm a final year student and I love these so so much. Thank you!
Thank you! Will do!
Hiya Jaz just found your channel it's great much appreciated. I use K3 and love them. All the best from your Irish colleague🍀🍀🍀
welcome Keith from Ireland! 🇮🇪 appreciate you becoming a Protruserati!
My best investment was the microlux 2 light. Cheap and very handy for finding hidden canals. Light from outside the tooth and see.
Keep it up dr 💪🥇
hypochlorite can cause issues for an apex locator?
Hi Jaz... thank you so much for this enlightening topic. Please, what's your take on using Fuji 9 GIC as a coronal seal?
I was taught that it gets a predictable bond to dentine and I have used this for many years. However most endodontist I speak to have moved towards composite resin eg SDR
What a fund of knowledge, my problem is I refer all I possibly can, but this makes me increasingly less competent for even simple cases. Can you ask John Rhodes on your podcast, he combines great endo videos with relaxing jazz music, again lulling you into thinking, this doesn’t look too tricky
hahah defo not as easy as it may seem but we can grow to improve, that's for sure!
Radiographic apex is not always at the anatomic apex
100%
I still don't know what wire size means lol
Wow, your content is already amazing, but imagine the magic we could create together with some expert editing! 🎬✨ Interested?
too much intro
Appreciate your feedback - feel free to skip intro ✌️
This guy knows way too much about files lol it took away from the goal of your questions
he's the expert after all!
