About Dr Pizem

After earning his Doctorate in Dentistry at the University of Montreal in 1991, Dr. Pizem undertook a career in community dental health at the Montreal Department of Public Health (Direction de la Santé Publique de Montréal-Centre), an agency attached to the Ministry of Health. He was a member of the Council of Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists at the Montreal General Hospital until 2003, and for a period of ten years he was in charge of two regional programs:

1) The promotion of the improvement of oral health of elderly persons residing in group homes.

2) The promotion of oral health among itinerant populations in Montreal.

Adding to his previous studies and experience, in 1999 he earned a Masters Degree in Public Dental Health from the University of Montreal, for which gained recognition as a specialist in this field by the Quebec Order of Dentists (l’Ordre des Dentistes du Québec). Dr. Pizem is the author of technical articles both in Quebec and in France. His name has often been cited by other authors, notably in the United States.

From the time of his studies for his Doctorate in Dentistry, Dr. Pizem had a special interest in endodontics. In the subsequent 19 years he patiently developed this interest into solid experience in that field, an experience that permits him to perform successfully even the most delicate root canal procedures.

The present website, designed for dental professionals, is the first of its kind in North America. It presents a private collection of dental radiographs taken over a period of years. The photo gallery is a portfolio of radiographs that will permit dentists to refer their patients for endodontic treatment with full confidence. The radiographs presented on this website have not been altered in any manner, and they clearly illustrate the high standards of endodontic care available to patients referred to this office.

The endodontic procedures shown are organized by category, each category representing a type of problem generally recognized by the profession. For each clinical procedure the pre- and post-operative radiographs are juxtaposed in order that a practitioner visiting this website may judge the high level of complexity of these procedures. Inasmuch as a clinical situation may present a number of technical difficulties at the same time, a number of radiographs concerning the same procedure may appear at different places in the gallery.

The radiographs in the category [Regeneration of the periradicular tissues] demonstrate particularly satisfying post-operative successes. These results call into question the sometimes ill-advised alternative of implants. As for the category [Dental operating microscope] treatments with surgical operating microscope, a number of clinical examples demonstrate the great advantages offered by this new technology. Teeth, which not long ago, would have to be extracted may now be saved.

We invite you to visit the photo gallery located on to of this page. You need merely click on the category you wish to view. Every Friday new, complex cases in endodontics are added to the category [NEW CASES]. We must not forget that this gallery of radiographs represents only a summary view of the great number of endodontic problems that confront dental professionals.
