Contemporary Endodontics: Education, Evidence, and Embracing Failure – Ep. 76
In this episode of Endo Voices, host Dr. Marcus Johnson sits down with Drs. Luca Moranzoni and Jon Cowie to explore the evolution of endodontic education and clinical practice. Known on Instagram as Contemporary Endodontics, a brilliant and enchantingly entertaining duo who balance the conversation as effortlessly as a reciprocating file. The duo reflects on their decade-long journey of building an educational platform that balances evidence, clinical pragmatism, and a touch of humor. Together, they unpack how workflow-based teaching, CBCT imaging, and restorative-minded approaches are shaping the future of endodontics.
From candid conversations about failure and mentorship to insights on bioceramics, conservative access, and patient-centered outcomes, this episode highlights how modern endodontists can adapt, grow, and connect through both technology and community. Whether you’re a seasoned clinician or an endo-enthusiast, you’ll gain valuable perspective on embracing challenges, leveraging digital platforms, and, ultimately, delivering care that elevates both the patient experience and the profession.
