Symptom-Free RCT Retreatment after Endodontic Online CE Courses for General Dentists

Not long ago, I was chatting with one of my E-School alumni. She brought me into her world for a second and shared with me the impact E-School had on the way she handles all kinds of things in her practice. (And, just in general, the impact of high-quality endodontic online CE courses for general dentists, like E-School!) 

At one point during our chat, I was floored to hear her say, “You don’t even know what you’re actually doing for people.” I can’t tell you how incredibly moving it was to hear that—you have no idea! 

Sometimes it’s hard to know if you’re reaching people when your only communication is through a computer. Truth be told, I’ve had moments when I wanted to throw in the towel. But it’s these kinds of interactions that keep me going, because they remind me how aligned I am with my purpose, and how much E-School has the power to make a difference.

So today, I wanted to share with you some of the takeaways from that conversation, as well as a couple of cases from E-School graduates that demonstrate just how transformational E-School can be. Mind you, I’m not just talking about the impact that my course has had on their endo procedures, but everything about their technique and philosophy.

I hope that you see yourself in their journeys and that it inspires you to enhance your own training by investing in endodontic online CE courses like E-School!

The Impact of Endodontic Online CE Courses Is Massive

Let’s return to the conversation I had the other day with that E-School alumna. Here are a few of the things she said to me:

“Sometimes I would put the clamp on, sans rubber dam, for the x-ray in case the patient ended up in litigation, but I didn’t really understand the importance of the rubber dam at all. Now I see that the rubber dam is the best money can buy. With the Opaldam, there’s no more saliva getting into my operating zone.”

“I was treating upper molars, but I didn’t understand the significance of the MB2 canal, or the true percentage of the time it’s present. I’ve always wanted the best for my patient, I just didn’t know the potential I had at my fingertips.”

“The cold test now rocks my world and I see the significance of doing it all the time.”

“I did a root canal before E-School, and my patient kept having symptoms, but after your class, I felt like I was truly able to help him. Now he’s symptom-free after I re-treated the case following your class. I am so honored to have been part of your program. I’ve developed so much passion and new confidence in what I do.”

I mean… wow. Aside from all the nuggets of knowledge she took away from E-School, it’s clear that the course really changed the way she saw endo. What’s more, it boosted her confidence and even ignited a passion for saving teeth. Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Do you see how big of a difference an endodontic online CE course like E-School can make?

A Root Canal Revisited

Now, I want to return to that last quote for a second, where this alumna mentioned a root canal she had done before E-School that she was able to turn around after her investment in my endodontic online CE course, E-School. Let’s take a closer look at the case so we can see exactly what had gone wrong and what she did differently the second time around.

As you can see from this radiograph, there was obvious decay into the pulp and a carious pulp exposure upon excavation. Overall, it was a fairly straightforward second molar.

Prior to E-School, she had performed a root canal…

But afterward, the patient continued to have symptoms, and shortly after that, he started to develop a lesion on the distal root. Uh oh.

Don’t worry, though, guys—we already know there’s a happy ending to this story!After taking E-School, my student decided to re-treat the tooth, implementing the principles I had taught her throughout the course, like how to use her apex locator to the right working length and the importance of patency. She even learned how to remove the gutta-percha and use calcium hydroxide in order to do a proper retreatment. AND, she learned how to use her instrument the right way every single time.

The result of implementing all of these concepts was that following the retreatment, the patient no longer experienced any pain, which was a huge win in and of itself! But even more importantly, my student gained confidence in her ability to perform good root canals that save teeth the first time around. Say bye bye to always having to do redo treatment!

This is what her root canals look like now:

What a pro! I’m SO proud of her and feel incredibly validated in my mission to help general dentists save teeth through my endodontic online CE course!

Another E-School Student Claims Endo Victory

Let’s look at another example of a dentist whose technique was totally transformed by his experience in E-School. Before taking E-School, his obturations would always end up short. But after he wrapped up the program, he understood the best process—and that problem became a concern of the past!

Here’s what he told me after graduating from the course:

Do You See Yourself in My Students?

I bet these pre-E-School frustrations are relatable to you. They were once to me, too, back before I decided to do my residency in endodontics and gained a decade of experience in my specialty practice.

If you’re sick of root canal failures, being short in obturation, misdiagnosing patients, and referring patients out unnecessarily, know that it’s not the only way.

Like these former students, you, too, can take a different path by enrolling in my endodontic online CE course!

What could E-School do for your practice? How could it help you be a hero to your patients? How would it improve your bottom line?
