\"\"By Alexander M. Homer, BS, and Bradley H. Gettleman, DDS, MS<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>In continuing our series on Endodontic History, we felt writing about significant individuals who have contributed to the specialty of endodontics would be a logical Part 3.\u00a0 The problem we encountered was the list is much too long to include everyone in this one brief article.\u00a0 Therefore, we decided to start by writing about the community which have AAE Annual Awards named after them:<\/p>\n

Edgar D. Coolidge Award <\/strong><\/p>\n

Named for Edgar D. Coolidge, a pioneer in endodontics who was instrumental in establishing the AAE, this award recognizes individuals who exemplify Dr. Coolidge\u2019s extraordinary vision, leadership, and dedication to the specialty.1<\/sup>\u00a0 Recipients of this award – the AAE\u2019s highest honor – are an elite group of individuals who serve as role models for the entire endodontic community.1<\/sup>\u00a0 Referred to by many as the \u201cDean of Endodontics\u201d, Dr. Coolidge is known for his role in the formation of the AAE and the promotion of the endodontic specialty before it was officially recognized by the American Dental Association.\u00a0 He served as Professor at several universities and published many articles on periodontics, endodontics, and the biological basis behind treatment and tooth retention.\u00a0 He was elected Honorary President of the AAE in 1959 and was well-known and respected throughout the dental world.\u00a0 Due to his dedication and leadership, the AAE named its highest award in his honor with Dr. Coolidge being the first recipient posthumously.2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/sup><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Edgar D. Coolidge Award recipient is Dr. Terryl A. Propper.<\/p>\n

Louis I. Grossman Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

This award is given to an author for cumulative publications of significant research studies that have made an extraordinary contribution to endodontology.1 <\/sup>\u00a0Known as the \u201cFather of Modern Endodontics\u201d, Dr. Grossman founded the Philadelphia Root Canal Study Club during a time when focal infection theories were widespread and led to wholesale exodontia of teeth.\u00a0 He also organized the American Root Therapy Association, one of the predecessor organizations to the AAE.\u00a0 As one of the original 19 founding members of the AAE in 1943, his text \u201cRoot Canal Therapy\u201d now known as \u201cGrossman\u2019s Endodontic Practice\u201d in its 13th<\/sup> edition, is still revered in endodontic literature.\u00a0 He served as head of Endodontics at the University of Pennsylvania and dedicated many years of his life to the teaching, practice, and research that has shaped modern endodontic practice.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Louis I. Grossman Award recipient is Dr. Domenico Ricucci.<\/p>\n

Ralph F. Sommer Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

This award is given to the principal author(s) of a publication of specific significance to the science and art of endodontology.1<\/sup>\u00a0 The award may be given for articles describing developments or advances in methodology and\/or materials and devices and for constructive influence on clinical practice.1<\/sup>\u00a0 The paper(s) need not necessarily be based on research, but can be philosophical, social, technological, etc., and pertaining to endodontics.1 <\/sup>\u00a0Dr. Sommer, who is from Michigan, devoted his entire professional life to teaching and practicing in that state.3<\/sup>\u00a0 In addition to lecturing on endodontics he was also known for hitching a small trailer to the back of his car where he carried instruments and equipment enabling him to give demonstrations at schools and dental associations in America and Canada.3 <\/sup>\u00a0There is still an annual symposium in Michigan presented annually which is named after him: The Ralph F. Sommer Symposium.\u00a0 Dr. Sommer was not only a Professor and Chairman of Endodontics at The University of Michigan he was also a Professor and Chairman of Physics.\u00a0 He was the second President of the American Association of Endodontists as well as one of the original founders of the association and the American Board of Endodontics.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Ralph F. Sommer Award recipient is Dr. James C. Kulild (1947-2022).<\/p>\n

I.B. Bender Lifetime Educator Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

This award acknowledges a member whose contributions to endodontics in the field of education have demonstrated excellence through selfless commitment to full-time educational pursuits, and whose valuable contributions have instilled in his\/her students the desire to pursue excellence in their careers.1 <\/sup>\u00a0Dr. Bender is known for his role as an educator, teacher, researcher, and clinician in endodontics. \u00a0During his years teaching oral medicine and endodontics at the University of Pennsylvania, he simultaneously conducted research at Penn and the Department of Dental Medicine at the Albert Einstein Institute.\u00a0 He published over 130 articles, many still considered \u201cclassics\u201d in the endodontic literature and co-authored the gold-standard textbook on pulpal biology, now known as \u201cSeltzer and Bender\u2019s Dental Pulp\u201d.\u00a0 In the early 1950s, he began using \u201ccandied penicillin\u201d lozenges to help prevent heart valves from becoming infected with bacteria entering the blood due to tooth surgery.\u00a0 After 50 years in private practice, he continued to travel the USA and give seminars on Endodontics.\u00a0 The Division of Endodontics at the Albert Einstein Medical Center, a Research Endowment Fund, and the Lifetime Educator Award of the AAE were all named after this titan in endodontics.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s I.B. Bender Lifetime Educator Award recipient is Dr. Scott B. McClanahan.<\/p>\n

Edward M. Osetek Educator Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

This award is given to a member that has demonstrated status as an outstanding educator by earning the esteem and respect of his\/her students and faculty associates; by the quality of former\/current students and their impact on endodontics; and by receiving invitations to present endodontic seminars, lectures, or workshops at other educational institutions.1 <\/sup>\u00a0Dr. Osetek was committed to not only the American Association of Endodontists but also the American Board of Endodontics, as he served as president of both organizations.\u00a0 He often spoke about the importance of mentoring; at the 1994 Annual Session luncheon he gave a speech on mentoring: \u201cObligations of a Privilege\u201d.4 <\/sup>\u00a0After a career in the U.S. Navy he decided to join the faculty at Northwestern University School of Dentistry.\u00a0 He later became Chair of the Department of Endodontics and Post Graduate Endodontic Program Director.\u00a0 Dr. Osetek has published numerous articles on various aspects of endodontics and coauthored chapters in textbooks.\u00a0 Also, the list of awards he has received from the American Association of Endodontists seems endless.\u00a0 He was a true giant of our endodontic community and a servant to his profession and the AAE.4<\/sup><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Edward M. Osetek Award recipient is Dr. Adham A. Azim.<\/p>\n

Calvin D. Torneck Part-Time Educator Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Calvin D. Torneck Part-Time Educator Award recognizes AAE member endodontists whose contributions to endodontics in the field of education have demonstrated dedication to endodontics as a part-time teacher of endodontics in a predoctoral program, or in an advanced specialty education program in endodontics, and whose valuable contributions have instilled in his\/her students the desire to pursue excellence in their career.1 <\/sup>\u00a0Dr. Torneck started teaching part-time in the endodontic graduate program at the University of Toronto in 1960 where in worked his way up the ladder and ultimately became a full professor and chair of the department of endodontics, and co-chair of the postgraduate endodontic department before he retired in 2000.\u00a0 He also maintained a private practice until 2006.\u00a0 Dr. Torneck has published numerous scientific papers and 5 endodontic teaching manuals.\u00a0 In addition, he has contributed chapters in 19 textbooks.\u00a0 He has served as president and founder of the Canadian Academy of Endodontics as well as the Ontario Society of Endodontists.\u00a0 He has also served as president of the American Board of Endodontics and secretary for the International Federation of Endodontic Associations.3<\/sup><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Calvin D. Torneck Part-Time Educator Award recipient is Dr. Scott R. Makins.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

This is just a small discussion about some of the pioneers of our profession who have made a significant enough of a contribution to our specialty that the AAE has dedicated annual awards be given in their honor.\u00a0 There are many other individuals that have also made extremely important contributions that will be recognized in Part 4 of our Endodontic History series.\u00a0 In addition, there are also other extremely important awards we plan on discussing in future articles.<\/p>\n
