Ticking all the boxes

When principal dentist Tina Ferguson bought Village Dental Practice in Cuffley, Hertfordshire in September 2009, she introduced her team to more than just new surroundings. Like many of her contemporaries she and her team were experienced in using gutta percha. But after being introduced to smartseal by Charlie Nicholas from D2D Endo last year, Tina was interested. She was so enamoured with the products available she didn’t waste any time in putting them to the test in her new practice.

‘I wanted to introduce new materials and techniques into the practice and I wanted to use something that would improve my treatment as well as making it easier,’ said Tina. ‘For me, the things that encourage me to give new products a try are simplicity, ease of use for dentist and nurse, cost effectiveness and durability. I used smartseal, with the Sendoline rotary system, as soon as I purchased it and initially tested it out on an easy case involving one root canal.
