After delivering a two-day endodontic workshop, specialist in endodontics Ammar Al Hourani explains what products helped to elevate delegate learning – and improve his own dentistry.
Taking place in the heart of London, Dr Al Hourani’s interactive hands-on based course saw participants explore diagnosis and treatment planning, access cavity design, mechanical preparation – including canal location – patency, glide path creation and mechanical prep.
One product used was Sendocem, a pre-mixed, ready-to-use endodontic cement. What attracted Dr Al Hourani to the product is its simplicity.
‘It’s a really nice, novel new material,’ he says. ‘It’s an easy material to handle, it’s inexpensive, it comes in a pre-mixed syringe and it sets in less than five minutes.’
‘It’s a really nice product with a company that’s reputable and has got really good clinical outcomes…I’ve been really impressed with it.’
Having integrated it into his work for the last six months, Dr Al Hourani has used it in apical surgery, open apex closure, perforation repair and even vital pulp therapy.
‘It doesn’t need any fancy machines to use,’ adds Dr Al Hourani. ‘It’s fast setting, easy to place, and it has a really good storage life.’
Transforming endondontics
Beyond Sendocem, Dr Al Hourani has a number of other products amongst his endodontic essentials. In particular, he finds huge benefit in Kohler’s (part of Directa Group) ‘fantastic’ endodontic and microsurgical kits. Sendoline’s SendoSeal MTA bioceramic sealer is also a standout, with its easy handling, competitive cost and numerous published articles around the product.
‘There’s a number of really good products at the company, and I think clinicians should take a look at what they offer. You’d be surprised at what else they’ve got,’ he adds.
His message to clinicians is clear: staying current with easy to use, proven products can hugely elevate the work of anybody on an endodontic journey.
