Women in Dentistry - Building Trust, One Canal at a Time – with Dr. Kreena Patel
In this special summer episode of the simplyendo Podcast, Dave Baker and Rob Masters sit down with the brilliant Dr. Kreena Patel, specialist endodontist, educator, and one of the most followed clinical voices in dentistry. Kreena opens up about her unlikely start (failing to impress her school careers advisor, then transforming into a relentless overachiever), the mentors who shaped her surgical hands and clinical instincts, and the daunting early days of building a referral practice while looking "too young" to be trusted with anyone's root canal.
She gets refreshingly honest about the backlash she faced for posting her work on Instagram, why she now swears by single-visit endodontics, her switch to bioceramic sealers (and the risks nobody talks about), and the desert-island file she'd never give up. Along the way there are broken files, brutal radiographs, big laughs, and real talk about failure, confidence, and what it actually takes to become excellent at endo. Whether you're a student, a nervous associate, or a seasoned clinician, this episode is packed with hard-won wisdom and proof that even the best in the business once had doubts about it all.

Redefining Endodontics: The Ghassan Yared Story
Welcome to today’s episode, where we are joined by one of the most influential and pioneering figures in modern endodontics, Professor Ghassan Yared.
Ghassan completed his specialist endodontic training at University Paris VII and earned his M.Sc. from Lebanese University. Throughout his distinguished career, he has played a major role in postgraduate education, teaching extensively at both the Lebanese University and University of Toronto, where he received multiple teaching awards in recognition of his outstanding contribution to dental education.
A respected researcher and international speaker, Ghassan has published widely in peer-reviewed endodontic journals and delivered lectures and continuing education courses across the globe. He currently practises endodontics on a part-time benevolent basis and serves as a visiting professor at Saint Joseph University.
Widely recognised as the inventor of single-file endodontics and asymmetrical mechanical reciprocation, his work has fundamentally shaped the basis of modern reciprocation in endodontic treatment. His innovations continue to redefine the field, from advancing root canal disinfection and pulpal anaesthesia to introducing groundbreaking concepts such as non-instrumentation root canal management.
He has also developed transformative approaches for the emergency treatment of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, eliminating the need for pulpotomy or pulpectomy in certain cases, as well as novel methods for achieving reliable pulpal anaesthesia in challenging mandibular molars without supplementary injections.
Today, we have the privilege of hearing directly from a clinician, educator, researcher, and true innovator whose work has changed the way endodontics is practised worldwide. So sit back, relax and enjoy listening to the legend that is Ghassan Yared
