Presenter Bio
Associate Professor Dr James A Wealleans
Dr James A. Wealleans is originally from Christchurch New Zealand, he is married and has 2 children. In 2006 James graduated with honours from Nova Southeastern College of Dental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 2007 was Dr Wealleans complete his Advanced General Dentistry Residency in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In 2010, Dr. Wealleans graduated Endodontic Residency from the prestigious University of Texas Health Science Centre and Wilford Hall Medical Centre, in San Antonio, Texas. James is an American Board-Certified Endodontist, an accomplishment that only 20% of in the specialty obtain.
Dr Wealleans served as the Director of Endodontic Residency Training and Education from 2013–2018 at the Wilford Hall Medical Centre in San Antonio, Texas. James has held teaching appointments as Associate Professor with the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and Assistant Professor with University of Texas Health Sciences, San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Wealleans has authored over 10 published research papers and serves as a scientific advisor for the Journal of Endodontics.
In 2017 James invented guided endodontic microsurgery, for which he holds 2 US patents. He has lectured extensively both nationally and internationally. In 2018, after serving 20 honourable years in the Air Force, James retired as a Lt. Colonel. Recently, Dr. Wealleans resides in Sydney where he devotes his time practicing endodontics on Sydney’s Northshore and the Central Coast.
Session Overview:
Bioactive materials are reshaping modern endodontics—from how we obturate canals to how we manage repairs, perforations and surgical cases. In this fast‑paced, clinically focused webinar, Endodontist Dr James Wealleans explores the practical shift towards bioactive endodontics and why more clinicians are adopting Edge BioCeramic Sealer and Edge BioCeramic RetroFill & Perforation Repair Material in everyday practice.
The session unpacks the science behind calcium silicate–based bioceramics, examines how bioactive sealers differ from traditional resin materials, and demonstrates how these properties translate into predictable handling, simplified workflows and improved biological outcomes. James will share real‑world insights on obturation using Edge BioCeramic Sealer, alongside decision‑making and material selection for repairs, perforations and retrograde fillings using RetroFill.
Attendees will leave with practical, clinically relevant takeaways they can confidently apply in both routine and complex endodontic cases.
