 Shanon divides his time between working in multi-disciplinary specialist practice in central London, and teaching future Specialist Endodontists in the Postgraduate Unit at King’s College London Dental Institute. His main research interests are cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), root resorption and the restoration of root treated teeth. Shanon’s background as a clinical academic has resulted in him publishing over 80 papers in peer reviewed journals, as well as being 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 or plenary speaker at 70 lectures in international meetings spanning 5 continents.
Shanon has co-authored 6 textbooks which have been translated into 4 different languages, ‘Principle of Endodontics’ is now in its third edition and is considered essential reading for undergraduates in the UK and the commonwealth, ‘Pitt Ford’s Problem Based Learning in Endodontics’ was the first PBL book published in Endodontics, and ‘CBCT in Endodontics’ is considered essential reading for Endodontists using CBCT, and has been translated into Mandarin, Japanese and Portuguese. Most recently ‘Endodontology at a Glance’ is the first authoritative revision guide in Endodontology. |
