Bioceramic materials have transformed contemporary endodontic practice by offering enhanced biocompatibility, bioactivity, and predictable clinical performance. But with an expanding range of products available, understanding when and how to use them is essential for achieving optimal patient outcomes.
This one-hour webinar will provide a practical, evidence-based overview of bioceramic materials used in everyday endodontic practice. Participants will explore the clinical applications of bioceramic root canal sealers, root repair materials, and bioceramic temporary intracanal dressings, with a focus on material selection, handling characteristics, and treatment protocols. Through clinical examples and practical tips, attendees will gain the confidence to integrate these materials effectively into their daily practice and improve the predictability of endodontic treatment.
Learning outcomes
- Explain the properties and biological advantages of bioceramic materials and their role in contemporary endodontic treatment
- Select the appropriate bioceramic material for different clinical scenarios, including root canal obturation, root repair procedures, and temporary intracanal dressing
- Demonstrate evidence-based protocols for the handling and clinical application of bioceramic root canal sealers, root repair materials, and temporary endodontic dressings

Getting the most from bioceramics: a practical guide for clinicians
Speaker: Dr Afzal Haque
The speaker
Afzal qualified as a general dentist in 2006 and thoroughly enjoyed this side of the job for 10 years but always had a keen interest in endodontics.
Afzal embarked on a master’s degree in endodontology with the University of Chester which he completed in 2015 with merit.
Afzal’s love for endodontics continued to grow and took the plunge and enrolled onto a three-year full-time doctorate degree and specialist training in Endodontics at the University of Liverpool from 2016- 2019. Here he passed the MEndo speciality examination with the Royal College of Edinburgh and gained a Doctor of Dental Science degree in Endodontics from the University of Liverpool with his thesis being ‘Restoration of the root-filled tooth, a systematic review and survey to general dental practitioners’.
Afzal passion for Endodontics is further kindled as he teaches and supervises postgraduate students at Manchester Dental Hospital on the MSc endodontic programme.
Afzal loves to save teeth and use the latest technology from microscopes, ultrasonics and a variety of file systems to help achieve the top outcome for all his patients.
