Shanon divides his time between working in multi-disciplinary specialist practice and teaching in the Postgraduate Unit at King’s College London Dental Institute. His main research interests CBCT, root resorption and the restoration of root treated teeth. As a clinical academic, Shanon has published over 80 papers in peer reviewed journals. He is lead author of 3 European Society of Endodontology position statements (CBCT 2014, 2019 and External Cervical Resorption 2018). He has been invited as a keynote speaker at 80 international meetings spanning 5 continents. Shanon has co-authored 6 textbooks, ‘Principle of Endodontics’ now in its third edition, ‘Pitt Ford’s Problem Based Learning in Endodontics’ was the first PBL book published in Endodontics, and ‘CBCT in Endodontics’; has been translated into Mandarin, Japanese and Portuguese. Most recently ‘Endodontology at a Glance’ is the first authoritative revision guide in Endodontology.

"Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Endodontics"

In recent years, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become much more widely available and utilised in all aspects of dentistry, including endodontics. The book "Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Endodontics" edited by Shanon Patel, Simon Harvey, Hagay Shemesh and Conor Durack is designed to inform readers about the appropriate use of CBCT in endodontics, and enhance their clinical practice with this exciting imaging modality. For more information visit Quintessence-Shop.

Since 1998 he has run his own histology laboratory and has developed considerable skills in hard tissue preparations for light microscopy. Dr Ricucci has published 90 papers and has lectured both nationally and internationally.

"Endodontology. An integrated biological and clinical view"

This book by Domenico Ricucci and José F. Siqueira jr. is a very unique collection of histological images combined with supporting text. Essentially, this is a work that is at the same time an atlas and a textbook about clinical endodontics, based on strong biological grounds that eliminate the gap between clinical practice and biological issues. It bridges the basic knowledge, which common endodontic textbooks provide, to an in-depth understanding of endodontic biology. For more information visit Quintessence-Shop.
