ENDOLearning Lecturers
Dr. Sebastian LUPU
Dr. Sebastian Lupu discovered his passion for endodontics during the Faculty of Dentistry, Medical University “Grigore T. Popa”, Iași, Romania, where he became a DMD in 1999. He continued his studies with the Master in Clinical and Surgical Microendodontics Level II, in Turin – Italy (2016, with Prof. Elio Berutti), and then, in 2017, has been appointed as a Certified Trainer for Dentsply Sirona Endodontics in Ballaigues, Switzerland.
Dr. Lupu has been practicing this branch of dentistry for over 20 years, and over the time he has managed to perform thousands of endodontic treatments of varying degrees of difficulty. He introduced the operating microscope in his work technique in 2009, and since then he has been providing his patients with more precision. Due to the properties of this dental equipment (to increase the visual field), over 95% of the root canal treatments had predictable and successful results.
The considerable and ever-increasing number of successful complex endodontic re-treatments have led to the creation of many mentoring requests from colleagues. Thus, in 2017, Dr. Sebastian Lupu founded ENDOLearning project, through which he wants to provide support, demonstrations and tips & tricks in endodontics to those who are passionate about this branch of dentistry.
Dr. Mihnea CAFADARU
Dr. Mihnea Cafadaru graduated in 2007 from the “Victor Babeș” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Timișoara, Romania. Subsequently, he began intensive training in dental implantology and periodontology. In 2008, he completed a one-year specialization in dental implantology, having Professor Emanuel Bratu from Timișoara as his mentor. Since then, Dr. Cafadaru focused on broadening his studies and practice from the best trainers in Europe, such as Inaki Gamborena, Marius Steigmann, Anton Sculean and Mauro Fradeani.
Dr. Mihnea Cafadaru focused especially on clinical periodontology and dental implants, respectively dental microscopy.
Dr. Cafadaru focused on LIVE OP TRAINING addressed to dentists from Romania and other countries.
He is currently “Xpert Presenter” for Dental XP.com, one of the largest dental platforms worldwide.
Dr. Bogdan ARION
Dr. Bogdan Arion graduated as valedictorian in 2012 at the Faculty of Dental Medicine, U.M.F. “Grigore T. Popa” Iași, Romania, and later, in 2015, has pursued the specialization of Dento-Alveolar Surgery. During his studies, in 2011, he completed the internship at the Oral-Maxillo-Facial Surgery Clinic in the AKH hospital in Vienna. In the last 8 years, he dedicated his practice to the surgical field, trying to continuously evolve, by taking part in a multitude of national and international medical courses and congresses.
Throughout his experience, Dr. Arion focused on broadening his theoretical notions and practice from the best trainers in Europe, such as: Frank Zastrow, Radoslaw Jadach, Howard Gluckman and Ali Tahmaseb.
In 2022 Dr. Arion has graduated from Alma Mater Studiorum Universita di Bologna where he completed the University Master Level 2 – Soft Tissue Management Around Teeth and Implants with Prof. Giovanni Zucchelli.
