A good warmup session before the start of the next season reinforcing the journey for success in solving the suffering patient to become well for a predictable long term.I think the secret of success of SIR is keeping things so simple with clarity in approach & right on the target.Wishing TRS TEAM a grand success in upcoming seasons!

Simply awesome and full of top notch education stuff.

It's not just an interview instead it's just a glimpse of the autobiography of our favorite mentor DR CLIFFORD RUDDLE. Thank you sir for sharing your wisdom with us.

Thank you TRS TEAM for a lively 7th season.SIR always have a vision for the next level a true upgradation,a genuine invention idea's is the only reason for this standards.The deep shape article in endoruddle.com gives all the valuable information of evolution from historical period till MIE concept now,thoroughly knowledgeable.

Thank YOU SIR for a wonderful @ board presentation & giving so many oppurtunities and options a dentist can opt based on their preference.If any dentist want to do a better ENDO,then better visit endoruddle.com & TRS,as if you see it you can do it similarly.The great miracle in my own life is having such a wonderful GURU= RUDDLE SIR,THANK GOD.

Thank You Dr.Terry for a beautiful case presentation & showed how basics,skills,patience & genuine care elevates the success level.TRS really turning around the skills of every viewers in a more appropriate way to have a better approach.All credits to the broadminded King of endodontics of the new era,Dr.RUDDLE SIR,who is a true inspiration of being patience to listen 5 times of another specialist procedure to learn even achieving the maximum,tht's why HE is too great & outstanding human.

Dear Dr. Ruddle:

I write in response to a recent publication of a video in which you are shown comparing Fotona’s LIGHTWALKER dental laser to Edge Endo’s EdgePRO dental laser. See Laser Disinfection & Obturation - The Lightwalker vs. EdgePRO Lasers and Q&A (theruddleshow.com).

It appears that your comparison, which provides negative comments about EdgeEPRO, is based on a single biased Fotona study in which EdgePRO’s directions for use were not followed.
Note, the main technique taught for EdgePRO includes inserting the tip mid-root and always in the presence of a fluid, not 2mm from the apex and dry as you stated in your video presentation. In addition, there are numerous studies that demonstrate that the EdgePRO technique and technology is better at cleaning and disinfecting the canal than the LIGHTWALKER technology and technique.

Critically, I feel your identification of EdgePRO as “potentially dangerous” is a false statement. I am aware of no reported “dangerous” events associated with EdgePRO since its inception. Your identification of LIGHTWALKER as “very safe” and EdgePRO as “potentially dangerous” is improper and I request that you immediately revise your video publication to remove reference to the same and refrain from making such assertions in the future.

I recommend that you review all of the available research and demo the advanced disinfection techniques such as EdgePRO, LIGHTWALKER, and GENTLEWAVE to see which works best in your practice.

In order to clear up any misunderstandings, if you would like, we can come to your practice to go over the research and we can perform demos on extracted teeth. I am confident that you will find EdgePRO to be safe and effective.

If you would like to discuss, please call my cell anytime at 505-515-4163

Sincerely,
Charles Goodis
Endodontist, EdgeEndo Owner and CEO

Greetings Chuck,

I am delighted you are watching The Ruddle Show. Yet, setting that aside, your assertion that I made negative comments regarding the EdgePro laser based on a single published paper is utterly false! On the contrary, my comments were evidence-driven and based on what I have learned about lasers over the past 25 years from peer-reviewed published papers, the textbook entitled “Lasers in Endodontics”, and the opinions of international laser users.

The paper you refer to entitled “Comparison of Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG used in dentistry” precisely describes the technical distinctions between these two laser technologies. Just because you don’t like the information within this paper does not mean this paper is biased. FYI, there are a considerable number of published papers, many of which can be reviewed on my website (endoruddle.com), demonstrating the efficacy, efficiency, and safety of the Lightwalker laser.

Regarding the directions for use (DFU): I never said use a laser in a “dry canal.” Either you have never watched this Show segment or the information you were told was wrong. Regarding the depth of tip placement --- EdgeEndo’s own website (edgeendo.com) has a link to EdgePro’s homepage (edgeproendo.com), which features a video clearly showing the placement of the distal tip of the laser optical wand down a remarkably straight canal and to within “one (1) mm” of the working length! The textbook “Lasers in Endodontics” describes the necessity, yet risks, of placing a laser tip to within 2 mm of the working length, but definitely not midroot!

It is “potentially dangerous” to place a laser tip 1 mm or 2 mm short of the working length, especially considering the many variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the length, diameter, and curvature of any given canal, the terminal diameter and taper of the final preparation, and the variable skill sets among clinicians. Importantly, another “potential danger” includes the root end proximity to the sinus, mental foramen, or neurovascular bundle.

It is well-documented that a firing laser tip positioned close to length can generate frontal pressure which, in turn, can lead to NaOCl accidents. Further, especially in more minimally prepared canals, the laser wand itself will tend to displace the miniscule remaining fluid volume and will certainly contact dentin. This phenomenon has been shown to induce melts, thermal burns, and ledges. The EdgePro technique shown on its website instructs placing a laser tip to within 1 mm of working length, then precisely withdrawing this tip at a rate of 1 mm/sec and doing this 3X/canal. In sharp contrast, the Lightwalker method confines the laser wand within the pulp chamber only, and efficiently cleans and disinfects all prepared canals simultaneously.

Chuck, the good news is, this point/counterpoint discussion will spark a conversation regarding lasers. I guess you heard me say, repeatedly, that both lasers have efficacy, both lasers clean very well, and EdgePro’s price point provides a more affordable disinfection method in the marketplace.

In the spirit of collegiality,
Cliff Ruddle

HE always bothered about the end results and outcomes of predictable long term success and concern regarding all grades of clinicians to serve best to their maximum potential.Thank YOU DEAR SIR for a wonderful bunches of informations regarding Lasers and WV obturations technical as well as clinical.

Thank you Dr.Gary for a really relevant start to finish endo procedure.DSO specialist = Detailed Disinfection due to Superb Shaping resulting in Outstanding Obturation.This shows the true broad minded & magnanimity of RUDDLE SIR to encourage the colleagues as well as helping all the genuine students of ENDODONTICS.

Watching TRS each episode 3 times is optimum,but twice is minimum to observe & absorb ideas & tips in different perspectives.The ONE MAN = RUDDLE SIR,behind or within me to improve each & every day in my life as a Dentist,Owner of a practice to serve people & ofcourse as a good human to family,friends.

Wishing a good luck for ISSAC.Dear RUDDLE SIR,as YOU have explained earlier in IFEA lecture regarding Laser for removing broken instrument segment to displace the debris around the file in an irregularly shaped canal & The Endurance limit handpiece,files for bypassing a broken file.Will these adjuncts will help in ledge or block managements.Thank YOU.With great respect from your small disciple.

Amazing episode as usual. Thanks a million for the efforts.

SIR, a beautiful bunch of tips,a back to basics.The No:3 in ASTRO represents Jupiter = GURU, that's why YOU are a great GURU with in-built teaching abilities.Great start and best wishes for TRS TEAM.

Advanced endodontics is the right path for those who want to advance in endodontics from past approach to a bright and brilliant future.

RUDDLE SIR, Wishing YOU & OUR TRS TEAM a grand success.Today i watched the article of Protaper Ultimate system in endoruddle.com,an awesome article self explanatory & in depth informations in clinical & technical aspects.So happy for such an ultimate invention.A beautiful beginning of year.

Hello Dr Ruddle , my name is Bogdan Banica , I’m Romanian dentist working in Liverpool (U.K.) for the last 12 years. My first love in dentistry were dental implants , but after setting my own practice 2 years ago, I slowly drifted towards endo due to the demand.
I’m a show junkie , I have seen all the show twice , maybe I’m a slow learner , but I getting my kicks from annoying my girlfriend when she hears you shouting “ Systems”. Kind regards.

Thank you! Note that your submitted questions are not posted here, but have been forwarded to The Ruddle Show team for direct reply via email -- Please be on the lookout, and thank you for your interest in The Ruddle Show!

The Greatest Honor for a Dentist in their Lifetime
The Clinical God of Endodontics, i.e. Professor Clifford J. Ruddle, giving me the "Ruddle Award for Outstanding Cases"
I was touched by God's grace. The God almighty and the God of endodontics both at the same time. Much appreciated dear esteemed professor for your absolute kindness to me. I can't thank you enough. You literally created the happiest and the most honorable day of my life. Thanks God, people like you still exists in this world!

Thank YOU, Dear RUDDLE SIR & TRS TEAM for accepting me as a continuous student for life. It's a great honour, pleasure & heartfilled moments when SIR mentioned my name & my WIFE name. This GOLDEN GURU always had 2 roles for me 1. when teaching ENDO he will be strict as a FATHER & when teaching wonderful morals for leading a beautiful LIFE will be like a Caring, Loving & Supporting MOTHER. I thank GOD for giving me such a GOOD GODFATHER! Happy Holidays & advance wishes for Christmas & New Year 2022.

The Special Guests in TRS are really a special motivators, inspirators for all of the viewers. After listening to the Master's perceptions on the PTU in different episodes, I would strongly recommend everyone to have PTU in the armamentarium list if willing to handle any canal in any tooth in the universe safely, efficiently & predictably. PTU=A system to treat any system /canal/tooth/person in the universe.

👍🏻👍🏻

This article has all the reasons for the classic recovery as the authors are self centered, favoring company's need & not having any BASICS. The educational society should take some strict actions as nobody has any right to offend a person or philosophy whom/which is right & ethical. Now I understood that the love, care & supporting nature of DEAR SIR may be exponentially expanded due to the 50+ years with PHYLLIS MADAM. Thank YOU & TRS TEAM for a variety & dynamics.

As PHYLLIS madam is an inspiration to my wife PAVITHRA who became into an enthusiastic chairside assistant, as well as managing the clinic to have a beautiful FAMILY BUSINESS. We both look this charming couple Mrs. & Dr. CLIFF as our another parents & GURU guiding all along the way. Thank you from the bottom of our little hearts. Mrs. & Dr. V.K.

DEAR SIR, your supportive approach, enthusiasm & optimism are the 3 most important Trifactor for being such a SUCCESSFUL 70+ Years YOUNG individual. Thank YOU for the energy to support & helping others to get RECHARGED each & every week.

The topics are giving a complete understanding & different perceptions for approach in ENDO as well as managing the Practice as a whole. I believe TRS is going to be a GOLD STANDARD & a BIBLE for ENDODONTIC Religion. I am eagerly waiting for the rest of the chapters which will guide me towards maximum potential. Thank YOU dear SIR & TRS TEAM.

I have attended a lecture of Dr.Marco regarding managing complex RC anatomy almost 7-8 years ago in Chennai. Thank you Sir for the gentle,smooth presentation with a strong message regarding Restoration -Post Endo. I still remember the soft answers for the questions & doubts in a polite manner but with intense information. Thank you, Dr.Marco & TRS TEAM for a fantastic oppurtunity.

CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!!!!!!!!!

A beautiful clarity in basics followed by managing tips in the advanced issue by THE MASTER is the perfect start with a spark.Best wishes to TRS TEAM.

Usaually i will watch at least 3 times each shows,but on 13th august in IFEA meeting & once again in recorded in 2 weeks time & its a great oppurtunity to complete the 3rd today. As in each time a new different perspective & tip will be recognised & positively can be implimented in PATIENT CENTRIC PRACTICE. Thank YOU DEAR SIR & YOUR TEAM for a truely special events as episodes. GOOD LUCK for the 6th season!

Wishing YOU SIR & YOUR TEAM a grand success for the Ultimate project of Protaper which can really be a comprehensive wide range of approach to serve the best.Thank YOU.

Thanks Cliff for changing the world of endo. I'm a big fan!

Congradulations DEAR SIR & the entire TRS TEAM for the completion of a beautiful landmark of 50 episodes. Seeing the previous shooting glimses are a very good remembrances,memories & heart touching moments expresses the truely professional approach of the entire team. Thank YOU SIR & YOUR TEAM for helping all the students of Endodontics.

DEAR SIR = YOU are not only a great Leader,but also a wonderful Ladder for helping others to come up not only in ENDO but also as a humble human. Thank YOU & OUR TRS TEAM well in advance for the excellence in execution & giving 100% all through the episodes.

SIR, your workspaces are so clean & neat as YOU will show in videos of post obturation cleaned spaces couple of times with xylol (the pulp chamber floor & access cavity).The inference i obtained is " just do the right thing at right time with 100% involvement in action" .
Thank YOU DEAR SIR & YOUR TEAM for constant inspiration & motivation to work towards my maximum potential.

If anyone wants to have a habit of winning or close to win the game of endodontics or as a doctor to serve for sick people to become better or as a good human to Your family & society,then i would suggest that TRS = True Reach for a Student globally.Thank YOU SIR and YOUR TEAM.

Thank YOU RUDDLE SIR "The Father of Modern Endodontics" to creating an oppurtunity for the viewer's to listen to the GP GURU Dr.Nathan Li "The father of modern Obturation Techniques".
It's a great pleasure to know the updates of GP,as iam using for the past 2 years & i personally feel that the Conform fit GP's are the real ultimate in the Endo climax & will get a feel of right on the money as SIR will say "on each time,all time & every time".

Its a great pleasure & surprise to hear from my name from my GURU which is a lifetime achievement for me,but still long way to be connected with HIM.
Thank you dear SIR for a contemporary guide for disasembly topic very informative & interesting & finally the inspiring words from RUDDLE SIR that You can do it!

Thank you Dr.R.Cross for a useful,clinical & simple,effective way to assess 4D Disinfection level which reminds me as RUDDLE SIR will tell " Do not proceed to the next step unless the previous step is perfect ".
Thank YOU TRS TEAM for making all the efforts to create a platform for each student of Endodontics to learn & to teach simultaneously,as iam very much inspired about how this legend still feels himself as a student to learn even from his own students.Special Salute to YOU=SIR.

Dear RUDDLE SIR , Thank YOU so much for YOUR valuable informations infinitely.Each time when i attend SIR's lecture regarding disinfection iam learning a new idea and approach to utilize ENDOACTIVATOR for the best possible outcome.As a clinician & using the user friendly armamentarium for more than 6 years & i strongly say ITS MANDATORY for each person performing RCT.

On my inference,TRS is a complete package of clinical tips,financial advices,staff management & good morals for being a good human & as we receive these its our moral responsibility to share with others too!Thank YOU DEAR SIR & YOUR TEAM.

A good start is have done & i personally felt its a Great start & wishing the TRS TEAM a grand success for the subsequent shows.

Thank You Dr.Gordon for a nice presentation on a Hot Topic.The lesson i have learnt is we should not think any procedure lightly or consider so simple,but instead need to take care of each & every step with 100% commitment for the ultimate result.As these legendary clinicians are still having the thirst for learning & implementing even after 70`s are the REAL HERO`s and inspiration for the upcoming Young generation.Thank you all.

Fantastic presentation regarding clinical findings,a detailed,ellaborate & in depth insights of knowledge & informations.I thoroughly enjoyed.
The real change in my practise for the past 6 years is due to the fact that I really loved YOU SIR as the way of teaching & according to me = PREACHINGS & surrendered completely.Thank YOU & YOUR TEAM for a wonderful episode.

GPM is more discussed by many Speakers,but it is the most commonly neglected or underestimated by many clinicians on day to day basis & face problems in shaping with rotary systems,as the secret of success is following the basics.This is the quote from RUDDLE SIR.
I would strongly suggest the viewers to watch atleast 3 times with little space in between to re-register the concepts well,as similar to ZEN Philosophy.Thank YOU SIR & YOUR TEAM.Well done & great presentation.

Endodontics expansion from my perspective is :
ENDO = Endless Journey to perform upto our maximum potential ,
DON=RUDDLE SIR ,
TICS = TIPS.
Possible if we have inspiration,desire to give best,ofcourse the guidance & blessings from this GREAT HUMAN = CLIFF.

I reviewed this episode once again to refresh my knowledge regarding Pain Management. It's a wonderful episode, really!

I also hope none of my too lengthy questions will end up in the "Worst Questions" section :'D

Superb & detailed approach of silver point retreival makes me remebering the lecture in IFEA of broken instrument retreival topic.Awesome,well done.Waitng for August to be with YOU DEAR SIR an entire DAY my DREAM will come reality.

This was extremely informative as usual. And I also got some of my previous questions answered in detail. So, thank you so much!

I am a very slow clinician; I had a hard time using Resin Sealers with Cold Lateral Compaction technique. But the reason why I thought a resin sealer would be suitable for CLC is the inherent deficiency of a CLC just because of the fact that it is cold! I thought the relative toxicity of a resin sealer would make up for the lack of hydraulics in a cold obturation technique. But hopefully, I will start using Kerr Pulp Canal Sealer EWT once I implement a warm obturation technique. .

Thank you so much for the informative content.

Thank you! Note your submitted questions are not posted here, but have been forwarded to The Ruddle Show team for either direct reply via email or inclusion in a future Ruddle Show -- Please stay tuned!

TRS shows the magnanimity of RUDDLE SIR by allowing & enjoying the other great dedicated professionals point of view & tips for success.Endorsing the superb points for the development & willingness,will be a great encouragement for viewers.Thank YOU DEAR SIR & YOUR TEAM.

GREAT JOB, GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful,
Keep it going, Cliff

:)

Cliff,
Nice update, thanks for helping me get back into the game. I'm looking forward to teaching again at U ofM Dental School with Neville McDonald. Even though I'm getting up there in age, you always have a way to create motivation.
Thanks to you, I have had a nice career, and have found some new cheese down in Naples, Florida. My best wishes to Phyllis and you and your family as you work on this wonderful Show.

Love the Q&A's

Such a legend! I was blessed to have Dr. Ruddle make me hold an Endomotor for the first time in my life at the APEC conference, Delhi. One of the most humble and inspiring teachers I have ever met, who never seemed to let go of Phyllis's hand at those endo conferences 😅 (they're honestly too adorable together).

I have been following the advanced endo education on his website since my first year of postgraduate study. It helped me understand fundamentals of endo much quicker than any of my batchmates just because of his fabulous teaching which inspired me to implement those tips and tricks into my clinical practice.

I recently heard of ruddle show.com on Howard Farran's podcast and I haven't stopped binge watching through all this new content - not just for the educative content, but because it feels like I know him better through his family and the endo community talks. I have never been so driven! Especially during these tough times.

Can't wait to meet Dr. Ruddle and Phyllis in person at WEC 2020NE, India. Will stay tuned for his online session on retreatment which is scheduled next month.

Keep inspiring, Dr. Ruddle.
Love and respect from India.

Dr. Abhishek Mysore Anil.

Good Show.

Love the way the studio came out. Bright and colorful
