If you are considering furthering your dental skillset, knowing which direction to turn your attentions to can often feel overwhelming. Dental professionals are extremely lucky to have a wealth of options open to them – from dental implants to facial aesthetics and everything in between – but inevitably all courses will cost you both time and money, so it is essential to choose wisely.
"The clarity of what needs to be done at each stage and the easy accessibility of information and resources really is amazing.
I'm just working on improving my utilisation of the simplyendo website to answer any questions I have and the support you offer really is second to none. I can't imagine the time and effort you have to invest!

My journey from simplyendo to Endo Reality.........
I signed up to do the 10 day course with simplyendo in 2012 on the recommendation of a good friend in the endodontic world. I only intended to do the 10 day course and now three years later here I am with an MSc in Endodontics and a company producing endodontic training teeth!
Forensic dentistry or forensic odontology is the application of dental knowledge and sciences to civil and criminal law. Generally we get involved in identification of human remains from teeth, age estimation of the living and dead, identification in mass disasters and bite mark analysis.
In my position as Endodontic Officer for the North Wales Community Service, I get a number of referrals that, frankly, many of my colleagues would reject. I recall discussing one of my referrals with Mark Hunter. At one point during our chat he said "Heavens, Steve - you don't half get em!"
The Expert
Some of you may or may not know that, apart from being an endodontist, I am also a dealer in antiques. I specialize in Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Tunbridge Ware, which is woodenware decorated with intricate patterns and pictures formed from tiny pieces of natural wood.
Keeping up the theme of non dental blogs here and this picture has absolutely nothing to do with teeth but everything to do with things looking good. Albert Dock in Liverpool taken early morning late August.

Obturation……….Where are we now?
In broad terms Endodontic treatment success would indicate an absence of infection, a healing or completely resolved lesion, a functional tooth without pain or discomfort and radiographically, a reversal to a normal periodontal ligament space around the root.
