Pennsylvania Medicaid does not cover endodontic treatment for anyone over the age of 21. As a result, individuals who need endodontic services and cannot afford to pay, have no options available to save their teeth and eliminate any pain and swelling that may be associated with their dental disease.\n<p>Project HOME&#8217;s Stephen Klein Wellness Center offers multiple rehabilitative medicine specialties, including dental and physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. The second-year endodontic residents from Einstein Medical Center care for the patients of Project HOME under direct supervision.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<b>Project Location:<br \/>\n<\/b>Wake Smiles, Raleigh, NC\n<strong>Project&#8217;s Endodontic Lead:<\/strong><br \/>\nRobert Sopko\n<strong>Project Summary:<\/strong><br \/>\nWake Smiles is a community dental clinic serving uninsured adults in Wake County, NC. Since it first received Foundation support, the Wake Smiles endo program has seen considerable expansion. Other AAE members have begun volunteering and the University of North Carolina Adams School of Dentistry endodontic residents now provide care in the community clinic. There are currently at least 4 rotating UNC faculty overseeing endo residents. This grant provides supplies and materials needed for more efficient treatment and higher volumes of patients.\n<hr \/>\n<b>Project Location:<br \/>\n<\/b>Union Rescue Mission, Los Angeles, CA\n<strong>Project&#8217;s Endodontic Lead:<\/strong><br \/>\nYaara Berdan\n<strong>Project Summary:<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California (USC) has cooperated with the Union Rescue Mission (URM) Dental Clinic for over 20 years, providing free dental care to Los Angeles&#8217; homeless population in the Skid Row district. The clinic currently serves 1,380 patients annually, who are triaged by USC dental students under the supervision of faculty general dentists.\n<p>In 2022, USC began staffing the clinic with an endodontist. That program has seen considerable success in terms of the number of endodontic procedures provided and the quality of patient care. This grant, requested to support the purchase of a second microscope, will allow the introduction of a second USC endodontist into the URM clinic, increasing the number of vulnerable patients treated. Restorative treatment is provided by USC dental students under faculty supervision.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<b>Project Location:<br \/>\n<\/b>San Antonio Christian Dental Clinic, San Antonio, TX\n<strong>Project&#8217;s Endodontic Lead:<\/strong><br \/>\nNikita Ruparel\n<strong>Project Summary:<br \/>\n<\/strong>The faculty at UTHSCSA have established a partnership with the San Antonio Christian Dental Clinic (SACDC) for an annual day of charitable endodontic service. SACDC provides affordable, accessible dental care to underserved and homeless adults living at or below 150% of the federal poverty line, with &gt;50% of the patient cohort served identifying as unhoused.\n<p>The model of care is based on volunteer dentists and hygienists serving alongside an employed support team. UTHSCSA is the principal partner in patient care. Advanced general dentistry residents, dental students, and hygiene students participate in a rotation program that is mutually beneficial. This grant allows the graduate endodontics department the opportunity to participate in the program.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<b>Project Location:<br \/>\n<\/b>Southern Illinois University, Illinois\n<strong>Project&#8217;s Endodontic Lead:<\/strong><br \/>\nLeigh Speer\n<strong>Project Summary:<br \/>\n<\/strong>As a dental school residency program, patients are referred to SIU from all over southern Illinois. The school serves as one of the only Medicaid providers in the region, and no patient is turned away.\u00a0The graduate endodontic clinic treats approximately 300 cases per resident during their 24-month residency. Most cases are restored at the completion of treatment or are returned to their referring dentist for restoration. A patient whose dental home is the SDM is returned to their student doctor for restoration. Many patients are referred by their dental home or a federally qualified health center (FQHC). This grant supports the cost of supplies associated with endodontic surgical procedures which are not covered by Medicaid, allowing the residents to provide additional needed treatment and the patient to receive all care needed.\n<h2><strong>2023 Projects<\/strong><\/h2>\n<b>Project Location: <\/b><br \/>\nNova Southeastern University, Davie, FL\u00a0\n<b>Project&#8217;s Endodontic Lead:<\/b><br \/>\nYehuda Benjamin\u00a0\u00a0\n<b>Project Summary:<\/b><br \/>\nIn the face of the humanitarian crisis stemming from the Ukrainian conflict, the Department of Endodontics at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine, along with the Ukrainian Refugee Resettlement Project, is rendering endodontic care to the Ukrainian refugees resettled in the South Florida community.

This project hopes to increase access to specialty care and divert emergent visits to nonurgent or semi-urgent, less expensive, and more effective, oral health care and treatment.
