Dr. Bobby Patel

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.

Learning Objectives:

• To understand the advantages of the metallurgy in relation to OGSF and its benefits when treating canals with curvatures.
• Clinical tips to avoid complications including file separation, canal transportation and endodontic failures.
• Live treatment demonstrations throughout to emphasise key clinical points.
• Current concepts in chemo-mechanical disinfection and obturation with a focus on cold lateral and warm vertical techniques.
