Ruddle's Summary Listing of Technique Tips for Locating the MB2
Year-End Q&A Clinical Questions and Ruddle’s Take on 2025
As the holidays approach, many of us take part in festive traditions; in the Opener, Ruddle and Lisette talk about their Christmas caroling cooperation. Then, the two are at the Board, doing a classic clinical Q&A – one important question for each stage of endodontic treatment. After, the questioning continues at the desk; Lisette grills Ruddle on his best and worst of 2025. Season 12 concludes with the 5th Grandkids segment; this time, we meet the youngest, Luca Ostovany, a standout junior tennis competitor with aspirations to play at the professional level. Remember, you saw it here first!

Feb 2022
The goal of endodontic treatment is to prevent or cure, when present, Lesions of Endodontic Origin, at times referred to as apical periodontitis. The role of bacteria in the pathogenesis of endodontic disease is well established, and therefore, it is critical to eradicate these pathogens by employing the highest level of presently developed standards...

"Improving clinical success of root canal therapy through anatomy-responsive instrumentation, energy-enhanced disinfection, and bioactive obturation"
Nov 2025
"The primary cause of endodontic treatment failure is persistent intraradicular infection, reinfection, or persistent extraradicular infection. Intra- and extraradicular biofilms are difficult to control chemically due to the EPS matrix barrier and the spatial heterogeneity of the 3D biofilm structure..."
