Orlando, FL, USA: The American Association of Endodontists will hold its 66th Annual Session 29 April to 2 May at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center here. The theme for this year’s meeting, which will draw attendees from across the United States and from around the world, is Engage, energize, educate.
Because statistics show that nearly 70 percent of all endodontic treatments are performed by general dentists, the AAE is encouraging specialists and GPs alike to attend the meeting. In all, the AAE will offer more than 100 educational opportunities and more than 197 hours of continuing education credits.
“Any general dentist with an interest in endodontics should attend this year’s Annual Session,” said AAE President Louis E. Rossman, DMD, of Philadelphia. “Leading minds in the specialty will be sharing the most reliable research and advanced techniques in preserving the natural dentition, which is what our profession is all about.”
To help attendees plan their attendance by concentrating on one area of interest or attend sessions addressing a variety of topics, educational sessions have been broken down into separate tracks — Nonsurgical Endodontics, Practice Management, Regenerative Endodontics, Surgical Endodontics and Submitted Presentations. In addition, a Professional Staff track has been designed for the endodontic team.
For the first time, the AAE will present a Master Clinician Series featuring live, nonsurgical endodontic techniques in a theater-in-the-round setting. Presenters include noted endodontists James K. Bahcall, L. Stephen Buchanan, Giuseppe Cantatore, Richard E. Mounce, Ali A. Nasseh, Clifford J. Ruddle and G. John Schoeffel.
“Sometimes seeing is as important as hearing when learning new skills,” Rossman said. “The Master Clinician Series provides a unique opportunity for all dental professionals to take their endodontic abilities to new levels by learning from some of the most prestigious endodontic thought leaders.”
The Annual Session will be preceded by an all-day Pre-Session Symposium, Integration of Advanced Surgical Procedures in Your Endodontic Practice. Presentations will be given by leading lecturers, including Harold S. Baumgarten, Ali Fakhry, James L. Gutmann, Gabriele Pecora, Frank C. Setzer and Peter Velvart. This panel of experts will help attendees achieve the confidence and skill to include surgical treatment options into their scope of practice and evaluate when alternatives to endodontic treatment are appropriate.
The AAE exhibit hall will allow session participants to view the latest in surgical products and procedures, and companies will present numerous services and technologies that will help attendees gain a competitive edge.
After hours, attendees might want to venture out on their own, or take advantage of one of the optional events planned by the AAE. Tours of the Kennedy Space Center, Winter Park and an Airboat Adventure are planned. There are also theme parks to explore. On Saturday night, AAE meeting attendees are invited to break out the flip-flops and join friends to truly celebrate Orlando at the Hard Rock Live, with featured entertainment The Beach Boys. The performance is sponsored by DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties.
