In Memoriam – Ron Fransman
In 2006, our practice ENDO EN ZO was founded by Ron Fransman, a passionate and dedicated professional whose legacy continues to inspire our work every day.
Ron graduated as a dentist from the University of Amsterdam in 1984. After fifteen years in general practice with a focus on cosmetic dentistry, he specialized in endodontics, graduating in 1998 as a certified endodontist from ACTA and becoming a recognized member of the Dutch Association for Endodontology. He was also a member of the American Association of Endodontists.
Ron combined clinical excellence with a deep commitment to education. He taught at the department of Endodontology at ACTA, lectured nationally and internationally, and was a guest instructor at the Pacific Endodontic Research Foundation in San Diego. He also published articles in dental journals and contributed chapters to professional textbooks.
Ron’s true passion lay in helping patients through high-quality root canal treatments. With his skill and dedication, he relieved countless patients from pain. He was a valued member of the Studyclub for Dental Education, where he exchanged knowledge with colleagues across disciplines.
His vision, warmth, and expertise laid the foundation for what ENDO EN ZO is today. We honor his memory by continuing the work he loved with the same care and dedication.

TESTIMONIALS
What patients say about our specialists
My own dentist had referred me to this practice because of its skill in root canal treatments. Friendly welcome, and because the one before me was running out of time, several staff members apologized. Had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Cristecu who clearly described all the steps and procedures before and during the treatment.
Last Friday I went to Roberto for emergency treatment of my tooth. You immediately feel that you are being helped by very knowledgeable specialist. He exudes a high degree of expertise and takes the time to explain everything very well based on pictures taken. He is also a very pleasant person. Together with his assistant, he forms a highly skilled team that performs quick and painless treatment with great care for the patient. In short, a very good and pleasant experience that I can recommend to anyone needing root canal treatment.
Had an appointment with dr. Christescu following a root canal treatment that came back again (inflamed and in pain) after 2 years. Had been walking with fear of my own dentist for a while, my new dentist then referred me to Endo En Zo. Could drop by for an intake immediately the following week. dr. Christescu explained well what he was going to do and gave honest advice. Because as it turned out, what? My old dentist wanted to redo the root canal treatment, Dr. Christescu told me that this was pointless, because I could undergo another treatment after 6 months. The 3d photo revealed that there was a fracture in my molar because my previous dentist drilled my canals too wide. Only option is to pull the molar. But after a clear explanation and having avoided a root canal treatment, I am more than relieved! I recommend everyone to immediately request a consultation here when in doubt!
