Meet your Teachers
Richard Kahan
With more than four decades in endodontics, Richard Kahan stands as a beacon of excellence in clinical practice and academic contributions.
Central in the development of the Endodontics MSc programme at University College London’s Eastman Dental Institute, Richard’s academic contributions are a testament to his vision of integrating cutting-edge technology with foundational endodontic principles.
His pioneering efforts have been instrumental in shaping the future of endodontics, making him an unparalleled mentor for those eager to delve deep into the realm of root canal treatments.
David Selouk
A specialist in endodontics, David Selouk embodies the perfect blend of clinical expertise and academic brilliance.
His passion for saving natural teeth is complemented by his keen affinity for the latest endodontic tools and techniques.
His hands-on approach, combined with a deep understanding of endodontic intricacies, positions him as a leading figure in the community. David’s role at the Eastman Dental Hospital further underscores his commitment to advancing the field through both practice and education.
Under David’s guidance, students are assured of a learning experience that is rooted in real-world applications, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle the complexities of modern endodontics.
The course for me has been everything that I wanted and more.
Richard’s unique ability to communicate difficult concepts into everyday English, as well as his wonderful sense of humour, all helped to make the course enjoyable, relaxed and easy to digest.
There are a few people I recommend as excellent teachers who go out of their way for their students, and Richard is one of them. His patience and humility were two traits that I admired and something that we as students, could benefit from.
I would strongly recommend this course for anyone looking to improve their endodontic skills at whatever level of clinical practice they may be. I’m sure there will be something that you can take back into your day jobs and tips that can save you time and money with improvements in clinical outcomes.

Our Technology
Endodontic technology has evolved in leaps and bounds of the last few decades, yet many traditional academic bodies haven’t stayed ahead of this curve.
The Academy of Advanced Endodontics is firmly committed to technological advancement ensuring that the industry’s leading instruments are always at arms length.
Here’s an overview of the tools you’d be working with:
Laser-Assisted Root Canal Therapy
We’re the first in the UK to employ the SkyPulse™ endodontic laser with SWEEPS and R-SWEEPS capabilities. This technology, combined with our expertise, ensures narrower, cleaner and less damaged root canals, preserving the natural anatomy of the tooth.
Cone Beam CT Technology
Our on-site Veraview X800 cone beam CT scanner by Morita offers a 3D view of the tooth and surrounding bone, providing unparalleled clarity in diagnosis and treatment planning. As one of the first endodontic practices in the UK to adopt this technology, we’ve become a referral centre for complex cases, trusted by both endodontists and general practitioners.
Intraoral Scanner and 3D Printer
Using our intraoral scanner, we are able to take a digital impression of your teeth. With specialised design software, we construct a 3D-printed guide using our in-house printer. These guides can then be used during treatment to preserve tooth structure and make traditionally highly complex treatments simpler and more predictable.
Morita Tri Auto ZX2 Handpiece
Our collaboration with Morita, a renowned Japanese engineering company, has equipped us with the Tri Auto ZX2 handpiece. This revolutionary device combines the precision of the Morita apex locator with advanced motor capabilities, ensuring rapid, safe and efficient root canal preparations.
Rubber Dam
Microscope
The dental operative microscope has been widely employed in the field of dentistry, particularly in endodontics. This results in significant advancements in the effectiveness of root canal treatment and endodontic surgery. The high-quality magnification and illumination greatly enhance visualisation of the operative field, crucial for carrying out intricate endodontic procedures while preserving natural tooth structure.
