About Dr Chankhrit Sathorn

Dr Chankhrit Sathorn is a registered Specialist Endodontist at Smile Solutions, practising exclusively in endodontics - root canal treatment and related procedures - across Melbourne and Sydney. His background combines serious clinical training, a research career that has earned international peer recognition, and a genuine commitment to patient outcomes.

Chankhrit completed his foundational dental training in Thailand before moving to the University of Melbourne for specialist endodontic training and a PhD. He subsequently became a member of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (RACDS) in the Special Stream of Endodontics, a distinction that reflects the depth of his specialist knowledge and his commitment to rigorous professional standards.

Academic appointments

Chankhrit's contribution to dentistry extends well beyond his clinical work. He currently holds the position of Adjunct Professor of Endodontics at La Trobe University, having previously served as Adjunct Associate Professor of Endodontic Research there. At the University of Melbourne, he was Convenor of the Predoctoral Endodontics and Graduate Certificate in Clinical Dentistry Programmes - a role that put him at the centre of how the next generation of endodontic practitioners was trained.

Research and awards

Dr Sathorn's research focuses on evidence-based endodontics, particularly systematic reviews examining the effectiveness and efficiency of endodontic interventions. His cumulative publications in this area earned him the Ernest Joske Research Award, recognising their contribution to dental science.

Patients treated by Dr Sathorn benefit from a clinician whose practice is directly informed by this body of research - carefully analysed evidence rather than habit or convention.

  • Journal of Endodontics
  • International Endodontic Journal
  • Dental Traumatology

Editorial board membership at this level reflects the trust the international dental profession places in his clinical and academic judgement.
