General Dentists Strongly Encouraged to Attend April 29 – May 2 in Orlando, Fla.
CHICAGO — Nearly 70 percent of all endodontic treatments are performed by general dentists, according to recent statistics from the American Dental Association. As such, practitioners owe it to their patients to provide the highest level of quality treatment. Take the opportunity to enhance your professional skills at the American Association of Endodontists Annual Session in Orlando Fla., April 29 – May 2, 2009.
Considered by the dental community to be one of the most credible sources for endodontic education worldwide, the AAE offers more than 100 cutting-edge educational opportunities and more than 197 hours of continuing education credits. The broad educational program and well-known speakers are organized in six programming tracks: nonsurgical endodontics, regenerative endodontics, surgical endodontics, submitted presentations, practice management and professional staff,
“Any general dentist with an interest in endodontics should attend this year’s Annual Session,” said AAE President Louis E. Rossman, D.M.D., of Philadelphia, Pa. “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.”
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 Drs. James K. Bahcall, L. Stephen Buchanan, Giuseppe Cantatore, Richard E. Mounce, Ali A. Nasseh, Clifford J. Ruddle and G. John Schoeffel.
“Some times seeing is as important as hearing when learning new skills,” said Dr. Rossman. “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.”
In addition, the Annual Session is preceded by the all-day Pre-Session Symposium, Integration of Advanced Surgical Procedures in Your Endodontic Practice. Presentations will be given by leading lecturers including Drs. 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.
To receive the member discount for session registration, general dentists are encouraged to join the AAE as Associate members.
