In 2003, Bobby was awarded his fellowship in dental surgery. He completed a 12-month surgical posting at Basildon hospital working as a clinical fellow in Oral maxillofacial surgery. In 2004 Bobby was accepted onto the UK mono-specialty endodontic training pathway at the Eastman Dental Institute where he completed his three-year full time MClinDent program. At the end of the program, he was awarded a distinction for his overall academic achievement during this time. In 2006, the British Endodontic Society awarded him a poster prize for his innovative research entitled ”Development of an in vitro model for the study of microbial infection in human teeth”. In 2007 he was awarded membership in restorative dentistry, the highest formal qualification in the UK and was registered on the specialist list for endodontics thereafter. He then moved to Australia to work in a specialist referral practice in Canberra from 2007 to present.

In 2012, Bobby was awarded membership of the Royal Australian College of Dental Surgeons (Endodontics). In 2015/16 he authored two well received endodontic textbooks with Springer Publishing Company. He is currently authoring a third instalment related to CBCT and endodontics. He is very active in continuing education programs, with a particular interest in hands-on courses dealing with diagnosis, rotary instrumentation techniques and surgical endodontics. Bobby is a Coltene and Dentsply Maillefer key opinion leader and certified trainer, regularly giving lectures to general dentists both locally and nationally.

Session Overview: 

This webinar will focus on a new instrumentation technique “OGSF” designed to manage canal preparation with safety in mind. This simple protocol is not only fast and reliable but also uses a sequence that can prepare even the most difficult canal both accurately and effortlessly.

Why attend:

This webinar will show clinicians state-of-the-art techniques including orifice opening, glide path management and shaping canals, regardless of their length, diameter, and curvature. Emphasis will be on mechanical and biological objectives required to achieve success. Live patient videos will be used throughout to demonstrate key concepts highlighting practical tips that can be easily transferable to your daily practice.

Key learning objectives:

 Identify the mechanical and biological objectives for preparing canal
 Understand how the file design, metallurgy and movement of Hyflex OGSF influences canal preparation
 Appreciate using live patient videos for key endodontic concepts that can inspire confidence, fun and more predictable results
