Endo Voices American Association of Endodontists

In the latest episode of Endo Voices, a groundbreaking discussion unfolds around a technology that aims to transform endodontics. Dr. Randy Cross introduces an innovation designed to determine the cleanliness of root canals with unprecedented accuracy in real time. Unlike conventional methods, which rely on subjective assessments, this advancement employs biomarkers to provide tangible evidence of canal cleanliness.




The device, dubbed the Endocator, employs ATP testing to precisely assess root canal cleanliness, providing depth and confidence to limitations encountered through subjective evaluations.




The Endocator offers real-time feedback on cleaning efficacy, enhancing treatment precision and reducing the risk of failure, even helping to identify unique clinical presentations like fractures and perforations. With a quick 10-second test, clinicians can tailor treatment plans to individual needs and refine cleaning techniques for optimal results.




The Endocator's potential to improve treatment quality and patient outcomes marks a significant shift in endodontic care practices, giving new meaning to “thrill of the fill!”

In this podcast featuring Dr. Lorel Burns, we engage in discourse transcending traditional boundaries, offering a glimpse into the ever-evolving landscape of our specialized field.

In this captivating episode of Endo Voices, listeners are introduced to the exceptional work of Dr. Mike Unthank, a unique blend of dentist and architect whose journey from a practicing dentist to a renowned designer of dental spaces gives him a unique perspective that marries practicality with style.




Central to our discussion is the idea of "zoning”, which ensures that dental practices provide both a patient-friendly atmosphere and a cohesive working environment for staff.




We also cover modern dental design. We navigate the challenges of constructing in high-density areas, as illustrated by Dr. Unthank's experiences in Manhattan and in contrasting markets in the Midwest. He presents intriguing solutions, like running conduits below the floor and dealing with open-ceiling structures.




Lastly, we touch on the potential future impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in dental design. While AI's influence in the architectural realm remains to be seen, the ever-evolving nature of dental practice design promises continued advancements.
