Endodontics
Endodontic Tips and Tricks
Let’s face it, Endo can be tricky!
Over the years Peter has seen just about everything and the aim of this presentation is to share those “little” things that can make the biggest difference.
From diagnosis and case selection; to determining whether vital pulp therapy is viable or not; to locating & negotiating those calcified canals; to repairing that unfortunate perforation; to establishing the working length reliably; to “nailing” that obturation - there should be something for everyone. And if not, bring those difficult questions along.
Upon completion of his specialist training in Endodontics (1994), Peter worked as an endodontist in full time private practice in Melbourne and then in Auckland. Peter later took a position as a Senior Lecturer at Otago University before becoming Head of Discipline at the University of Adelaide for seven years. Peter has returned to Otago University and is an Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Oral Rehabilitation.
In addition to teaching undergraduate and post-graduate students, Peter has lectured extensively at international conferences and given numerous endodontic hands-on courses throughout Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Peter completed his PhD in microbiology and his current research interests are in microbial adaptation and endodontic applications of hydroxyapatite. Peter is a reviewer for five peer-reviewed journals.
