Dentistry.co.uk is hosting a one-hour live webinar titled “Getting the most from bioceramics: a practical guide for clinicians” on 10 September at 7:00pm (London UK). The event, presented by Dr Afzal Haque, will offer a concise, evidence-based overview of bioceramic materials commonly used in endodontic practice. Registration is free through the Dentistry.co.uk webinar page.
This session aims to help clinicians make informed choices about when and how to use bioceramic products across routine endodontic workflows. The webinar will examine the properties and practical handling of bioceramic root canal sealers, root repair materials and bioceramic temporary intracanal dressings.
Bioceramic materials have become a prominent option in contemporary endodontics because they combine biocompatibility and bioactivity with consistent clinical performance. As the market for these products expands, clinicians face decisions about selection and technique that can affect treatment predictability and healing. This webinar is designed to address those decisions by translating current evidence and product characteristics into workable clinical protocols and tips.
Attendees can expect a focus on applying materials in real clinical situations. The programme includes clinical examples intended to show how handling characteristics and treatment protocols influence outcomes. The practical orientation is intended to increase confidence in integrating bioceramic materials into day-to-day endodontic care.
The one-hour presentation will explore these subject areas:
The webinar lists four explicit learning outcomes:
These outcomes emphasise both theoretical understanding and practical skill transfer, aiming to leave participants able to apply material-specific protocols in routine care.
Dr Afzal Haque qualified as a general dentist in 2006 and practised general dentistry for around ten years before pursuing advanced training in endodontics. He completed a master’s degree in Endodontology at the University of Chester in 2015, achieving merit.
From 2016 to 2019 Haque undertook a three-year full-time doctorate degree and specialist training in Endodontics at the University of Liverpool. During that period he passed the MEndo speciality examination with the Royal College of Edinburgh and was awarded a Doctor of Dental Science degree in Endodontics from the University of Liverpool. His doctoral thesis was titled “Restoration of the root-filled tooth, a systematic review and survey to general dental practitioners.”
Haque also teaches and supervises postgraduate students on the MSc endodontic programme at Manchester Dental Hospital. In clinical practice he uses microscopes, ultrasonics and a variety of file systems, and describes a strong commitment to tooth retention through contemporary endodontic techniques.
The webinar is aimed at dental clinicians who use or are considering using bioceramic materials in endodontics, including those involved in root canal obturation, root repair procedures, and intracanal dressing management. The practical, evidence-based approach should suit general dentists seeking to broaden their endodontic material knowledge as well as endodontic-focused clinicians wanting a concise review of handling and protocols.
