TULSA, Okla., USA: DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties is partnering with the American Association of Endodontists Foundation to establish the AAE Foundation/DENTSPLY Excellence in Research Award. The award seeks to recognize two North American dental school endodontic departments for their outstanding achievements in research, to encourage the level of research being conducted and to advance future goals for start-up research efforts.

The award will be given annually through 2017.

“We’re proud to be able to provide research funding for such a critical piece of advancing the specialty of endodontics,” said John Voskuil, vice president and general manager of DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties. “Recipient endodontic programs can use the funds as they see fit to enhance the strength of the program and further their research development efforts.”

The 2014 recipients, The University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry and The University of Maryland School of Dentistry, each received $25,000 and were announced at the AAE 2014 Annual Session in Washington D.C.

“The AAE Foundation is thrilled at the opportunity to partner with DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties and encourage endodontic institutions to bolster their research initiative,” said AAE Foundation President Louis E. Rossman, DMD. “Support for our organization from a strong corporate community is greatly appreciated by all endodontic practitioners. The Foundation is thoroughly delighted to enter this five-year, joint venture to enhance endodontic research with long-time supporter and enthusiastic partner, DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties.”
