Dr. John A. Khademi obtained his B.S. in Chemistry from the University of California, Irvine in 1986, and his DDS from the University of California, San Francisco in 1990. He moved to Dallas Texas for two years, worked in the computer field and taught operative dentistry at Baylor College of Dentistry. He completed his endodontic training at the University of Iowa in 1994 and finished his master’s thesis on digital imaging using Multiple Reader Multiple Case (MRMC) ROC analysis in addition to writing the imaging software. He is licensed in California, Colorado, Iowa, and Texas. John is a clinician first, yet has been active in dental research and standards development, and has a very long history of teaching and education. He is in full time private practice in Durango Colorado and was an Associate Clinical Professor in the Dept. of Maxillofacial Imaging at USC and is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at SLU. He thoroughly enjoys providing patient care and intends to continue practicing clinical dentistry. His primary interests are in digital imaging, CBCT, clinical trial design and outcomes. As a Radiological Society of North America member for over 30 years, his background in imaging and radiology comes from medicine which provides a perspective on these topics shared by very few dental professionals.
He has worked with the ADA and AAE in standards development efforts for computers in dentistry that have ushered in this era of clinical computer use. John has been on several of these committees both in the ADA and AAE and was Chair of the Informatics Committee and advised the Executive Committee of the AAE on technology. Broader interests include GentleWave, lasers, new instrumentation, and preparation techniques, and new obturation techniques–new technology. John has been a regular speaker at the ADA, AAE, and several other large dental meetings, and has authored several articles and book sections, a chapter on endodontic access as well as given dozens of half and all-day CE courses on computers, endodontics, CBCT and scores of lectures at national and international level meetings. He is currently heavily booked speaking on his core interests which are finally coming of age in the areas of outcomes and probability theory which are intricately tied to endodontics, CBCT and technology. He has contributed to many sections and chapters in textbooks and is the lead author for Quintessence’s Advanced CBCT for Endodontics: Technical Considerations, Perception, and Decision-Making.
Lastly, along with Dr. David Clark, founder of the Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry and Dr. Eric Herbranson, Co-Founder of The Tooth Atlas, these “Three Musketeers” are upturning the applecart of traditional endodontic treatment protocols and reclaiming endodontics as a restorative discipline. They are leading the charge towards preserving teeth through preservation of tooth structure by advocating smaller access, shapes and sizes, and a focus on restorative first, endodontics second.
John has presented before for the ADA, AAE, District II/AAE NJAE, California Dental Association, Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry, TDO Scientific Sessions, International Academy of Endodontics, District II NYSAE, and multiple state dental meeting across the country. Aside from private practice he is a Knowledge Opinion Leader for Carestream, SS White and Sonendo. His publications are too numerous to list, but he has contributed articles to Dental Clinics of North America, Journal of Endodontics, Dentistry Today, and is the chief author and editor of Advanced CBCT for Endodontics: Technical Considerations, Perception and Decision-Making; Quintessence Publishing, USA (2017).
