BOSTON, Mass., USA: The American Association of Endodontists Annual Session offers endodontists, general dentists and other specialists the opportunity to participate in a large selection of endodontic courses as well as learn about the rich history of the specialty and the United States. “History & Heritage — Forging the Future” takes place at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, April 18-21.

During the four days of education and entertainment, meeting attendees can earn up to 26 hours of continuing education credit from eight different educational tracks, three of which are new this year: Exploring the Future, Evidence Based-Endodontics and Orofacial Pain, Oral Pathology and Trauma. The sessions include something for everyone, with timely topics, a variety of learning formats, opportunities for professional staff and more.

“Remembering how endodontics got to where it is today is important in order to learn how to continue our forward movement in the specialty,” said AAE President Dr. William T. Johnson. “Sixty-five years after the association’s first gathering in Boston, we will meet to reflect on the advancements of the specialty and participate in a variety of programs highlighting the art and science of endodontics.”

The popular Master Clinician Series will showcase live, state-of-the-art surgeries, including implant placement, regenerative endodontic therapy, molar endodontic microsurgery, the use of cone beam computed tomography and more. This year’s master clinicians include Dr. Paul D. Eleazer, Dr. Shepard S. Goldstein, Dr. Mani Moulazadeh, Dr. Richard A. Rubinstein, Dr. Wyatt D. Simons and Dr. John D. West.

Annual Session attendees also can view the newest advancements in endodontic products in the largest endodontic exhibit hall in the world, featuring representatives from more than 100 major dental and medical suppliers. Another unique feature of the 2012 meeting is a Support the Troops care package collection drive, for which meeting attendees are encouraged to donate approved care package items or make financial contributions to aid U.S. military personnel.

Themed entertainment and tours will abound at the meeting, offering many opportunities for networking. Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin keynotes the Opening Session, and other special events include a performance by Pitch Slapped, a nationally known a cappella group from Berklee College of Music, member-led tours of the Boston Public Library and the Ether Dome at Massachusetts General Hospital, and a chance to “Celebrate Boston!” at the original House of Blues with entertainment from the Fab Four, a Beatles cover band.

The 2012 Annual Session boasts the latest in communications technologies as well. The AAE introduced a new Annual Session app for iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry, which features access to the full Annual Session program, a schedule builder, networking with other attendees, an interactive exhibit floor map, easy access to CE verification and more. Download the app by visiting your mobile device app store and searching for “2012 AAE Annual Session,” or access crwd.cc/AAEAnnual12 from your mobile device.
