Endodontic Resources to Make You Better Tomorrow!
What is my favorite file system? I’m asked this question a lot. Good equipment earns my trust, which allows me to conduct each procedure with confidence. WaveOne Gold Reciprocating and ProTaper Gold have earned my trust for shaping teeth. For retreatment, WaveOne Gold Primary. Have a quick listen while I explain …
Dear Clinician,
I feel dental health is important to our overall physical and emotional health. I’m proud to serve my patients in this regard with quality endodontic teaching, and it is part of why I created Root Canal Academy.
Sometimes people say things that make me proud (and emotional). Here is a recent message that I received:
TESTIMONIAL
Hey Reid,
I went through each of the Lesson books that you sent.
First, I just wanted to let you know that you are hilarious. Thanks for making such an easy-to-follow set of books for Endo. I have been getting more and more cases under my belt, and I wouldn’t have started doing these if it were not for the confidence I have gained by going through your material – online and now the Learning Lessons books. I have noticed a definite improvement in the quality of endo that I am providing to my patients. It’s great to have a clear vision of what I will be doing before I even get into a tooth. –L.S.

In a lot of disciplines today people say “there’s always better.” I’ve found the better we are, the more we are rewarded–in many ways. I’m here to make you as good as you want to be. And provide you tools to get there!
I hope to help you provide more services, get more patients, and have more fun. Don’t forget to laugh and enjoy the journey!

Greetings Clinicians,
I’m proud to present a major new content area on our RootCanalAcademy.com website: The ‘4 Quarters of the Simple ReTx Game.’ Let me introduce the course:
We provide and will continuously update video and other content as RTX tools and techniques evolve. Oh, and we have a ReTx book in production too, as part of our Learning Lessons series. That will be on our Publications page. I’m excited about how this new RTX course can help you serve existing patients better, and add a revenue source with simple ReTx.
This 6:30 minute video — part of a 35:00 minute full procedure — walks us through the retreatment process using a standard periapical radiograph. I annotate the image showing which areas of the canal are targeted with each step and tool of the retreatment–watch and learn the basics of the retreatment technique.
Stay tuned to our website for more additional material for the retreatment course. We are here to make you BETTER TOMORROW with 4 Quarters of the Simple ReTx Game!
Please ask any questions about this course. I’d love to hear your perspective and additional needs.
Reid
PS By the way, our new RTX course is organized with the same 4 Quarters system that makes learning easier.
“Hey Reid, I just wanted to reach out and say how absolutely amazing root canal academy is. In 2013 my wife J. K. came out to your office for endo PIPs training and I came out the following year. Ever since then I had been doing endo here and there but only simple cases. I had pretty much been doing everything I had learned in your course. Well now that one of our local endodontists was forced to retire I have been doing a ton of endo and with the investment of wave one I have become obsessed with endo. Thank you so much for putting together root canal academy it has made me excited to go back to work! Are you still using the laser? I notice you don’t talk about it too much in the videos. Thanks again and I can’t wait to see what else you have to share.”

Greetings Clinicians,
Our last post was a primer ‘Using Calcium Hydroxide,’ as part of our preview of the forthcoming publication of Learning Lessons. In this post, we present Case #5 ‘Removing Calcium Hydroxide.’ I get these questions about removing Ca(OH)2.
Here are answers and procedure tips in my Learning Lessons Case #5:
This is another sneak peak at a forthcoming series of Learning Lessons books to be available soon through RootCanalAcademy.com. See other lesson samples in this blog.
Happy endo my friends,
Reid
