Research Questionnaires
From time to time the BES is asked if its members can be included in a certain survey/piece of research that an individual/team is undertaking. Rather than continually contacting our members with these it was agreed to host these on a page of our website. We would encourage you to participate where possible as all contributions to research will aid the developments of the future.
I'm a postgraduate student, doing my MClindent in Endodontolgy at King's College London. My project for the course is a questionnaire study with respect to the current trends in irrigation techniques in endodontists and dentists in the UK and worldwide.
I'm working under the supervision of Prof. Shanon Patel and Dr Shalini Kanagasingam.
I've received ethical approval from the university to run the study ( which I have attached to this email for your reference).
I'm writing to request for your help in this matter and would be grateful if you could put my link on your website and other social media pages with a short note introductory note on the particulars of the subject to help me stimulate a good response rate to the questionnaire. It only takes a few minutes to complete.
I'm attaching a link as well a png. of the QR code to access the survey. Neither has an expiry.

Dear Friend, Dear Colleague,
We would like to seek assistance from your society regarding an ongoing research led by Maud Guivarc’h (Aix Marseille University, France), Alexis Gaudin, University of Nantes, France) Shanon Patel (Kings College London, UK) and myself (Aix Marseille University, France).
This is an online survey addressing the practices in infection control during non-surgical endodontic treatment.
We would be grateful if your society could help us by distributing the survey link to your society members. This would strongly contribute to strengthening the study and the relevance of the results.

Dear Colleagues,
I would be grateful if you could fill out my questionnaire. The topic is Endodontic treatment during Pregnancy: Attitudes, Knowledge and Practices of GDPs in the UK and should take no more than 5 minutes of your time to complete.
Link: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/chester/endodontic-treatment-during-pregnancy-attitudes-knowledge-and-1
I am a general dental practitioner (GDP) and student at the University of Chester. The research is being conducted for the completion of a final year dissertation for a Masters degree in Endodontology.
What are the possible benefits of taking part?
There is no previous study of this kind in the UK.
Access to and provision of dental treatment during pregnancy is an important subject. There are currently no clear guidelines on the provision of endodontic treatment during pregnancy. The presence of the questionnaire should give immediate recognition to this important topic. It is hoped this research will benefit dental professionals, medical professionals and pregnant people.
The aim is to integrate these findings into the best current practice for endodontic treatment of pregnant people by contributing to the development of clear guidelines for general dental practitioners. This should result in better long-term oral health outcomes during pregnancy.
What will happen to the results of this research project? The data collected will form part of my dissertation for the qualification MSc in Endodontology and assessed by the University of Chester. I hope the results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal, help to shape future guidelines and provide better outcomes for pregnant patients. All responses are confidential and anonymous in any report or publication. There is no way of identifying participants, no names or personally identifiable information should be given.
If you would like any further information or wish to discuss any aspects of this project, please contact me at 2131932@chester.ac.uk
Thank you for your support.
Kind Regards,
Dr Claire Black
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, there is no standardised protocol for managing EPL teeth. There are also no surveys of specialist endodontists and periodontists in the UK investigating preferred management strategies.
Within the sphere of specialist endodontists and periodontists, the aims of this survey are to gain a qualitative understanding of:
- What diagnostic criteria are being used for EPL teeth;
- What prognostic factors are being looked for;
- How EPL teeth are currently managed.
To ensure reliable conclusions, we seek as many responses as possible from specialist endodontists and periodontists. Your voluntary participation is highly valued, and you can withdraw at any time before submitting your responses.
Ethical approval for this survey was given by the University of Liverpool ethics committee. All responses will be anonymised and published in a peer reviewed dental journal. Any data identifying you will be destroyed after collection.
Should you have any queries regarding this research, please contact me at a.al-sibassi@liverpool.ac.uk.
Your sincerely,
Dr. Ayman Al-Sibassi.

Dear Colleagues, my name is Stefan V Stefanescu, I am a dentist with a special interest in Endodontology. I am hereby inviting you to take part in my research study which is the core topic of a study I want to publish, about your preferences with regard to irrigants and interappointment medication.
What is the purpose of this study?
Nowadays, endodontists have multiple and diverse sources of information regarding various treatment protocols, materials, and techniques used in endodontology. The present study is focusing on endodontists’ choice as to which protocols and materials they use preferentially in their day-to-day root canal treatments. The aim of the study is to assess if there is any difference in concepts, protocols or materials used by the members of the BES.
Why have I been chosen?
You have been chosen because you are member of BES.
Do I have to take part?
If you decide to take part you will be asked to fill in the questionnaire before 01/06/2021. Completion of the questionnaire takes approximately just 5 minutes and implies your consent. By clicking "NEXT" at the bottom of this page, you give us your consent to participate.
Will my taking part in the study be kept confidential?
The questionnaire is entirely anonymous. All information collected during the course of the research will be kept strictly confidential so that only the researcher carrying out the research will have access to such information. You will not be asked to provide your name or any personal details (D.O.B, email, phone number, home address etc). No identification or tracking numbers will be used either. Once the questionnaire answers are submitted, it will not be possible to withdraw your answers.
Who is funding and organizing the research?
