Root canal treatment can be a daunting procedure not only for patients, but also for the dentists due to the number of technical stages throughout. Each stage comes with its own challenges and possible complications. In this live demonstration, one of the UK’s leading dental experts William Holme is aiming to provide practical tips and strategies that you can apply to treatments you provide in your own surgery to not only simplify, but increase the effectiveness of your root canal procedures and reduce the chance of complications.
During this event, we will cover important subjects such as access cavities, canal location, canal cleaning and shaping and obturation. If you are a dentist looking to enhance your skills in root canal treatment, then we invite you to tune in and watch me perform a live root canal treatment on Dentistry Live.

Dentistry Live: increasing the effectiveness of root canal treatments
Speaker: William Holme
William Holme
William Holme is a dentist with a special interest in endodontics, taking referrals for complex root canal treatments and restoratively compromised teeth at Towngate Dental Practice in Leyland, Lancashire.
Following graduation from Newcastle University in 2016, Will has worked in restorative and maxillofacial hospital roles, as well as both NHS and private practice in the North West.
With a passion for endodontics, in 2021 Will started the highly regarded clinical masters in endodontics programme at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), graduating with distinction in 2023 and winning the DentsplySirona postgraduate award in endodontics 2023. He continues to contribute to the undergraduate and postgraduate Endodontic teaching programmes at UCLan alongside consultant in endodontics Shalini Kanagasingam.
Will prefers reciprocating file systems where possible and regards the WaveOne Gold file system as his ‘go to’ for the majority of his endodontic cases since undergraduate graduation and still even after completing his masters, even for challenging referral cases. He believes it is an incredibly versatile yet simple system and is well placed to show how it can be integrated into any dentist’s endodontic protocol to streamline canal shaping and improve endodontic outcomes.
