‘History & Heritage — Forging the Future’
AAE holds its
annual session
in Boston
By Fred Michmershuizen,
Managing Editor
T
he American Association of Endodontists held its 2012 Annual
Session April 18-21 at the Hynes
Convention Center in Boston.
The meeting offered endodontists, general dentists and other specialists the
opportunity to participate in a large selection of endodontic courses as well as
learn about the rich history of the specialty in the United States.
During the four-day event, meeting
attendees could receive continuing
education credit from eight different
educational tracks, three of which were
new this year. In addition, a number of
hands-on workshops were offered. The
sessions were presented in a variety of
learning formats.
The popular Master Clinician Series
showcased live, state-of-the-art surgeries,
including implant placement, regenerative endodontic therapy, molar endodontic microsurgery, the use of cone-beam
computed tomography and more.
This year’s master clinicians included
Dr. Paul D. Eleazer, Dr. Shepard S. Goldstein, Dr. Mani Moulazadeh, Dr. Richard
A. Rubinstein, Dr. Wyatt D. Simons and
Dr. John D. West.
On the exhibit hall floor, companies
showcased their products and services.
Roydent Dental Products offered its
popular C-Files in new sizes — 12.5, 15 and
assorted packs 06-10, all in 21 mm and 25
mm lengths. The new 12.5 is an exclusive
size to Roydent and enables clinicians to
make a half step in instrumentation between sizes 10 and 15.
Nancy Connor, Roydent’s sales and
marketing manager, said the C-Files
provide an ideal and extremely effective way to instrument calcified canals.
They are also ideal for locating canals
and instrumenting narrow canals. Their
non-cutting tip allows clinicians to
break through calcification safely and
efficiently.
SS White, which had an expanded
booth presence this year, introduced a
full line of endodontic products driven
around the company’s passion toward
conservation and efficiency. The offerings included the redevelopment of the
V-Taper 2 file and many other instruments.
“The V-Taper really is unique because
it has a patented variable taper that at
the top of the file is much more con-

servative and allows for the preservation of cervical dentin to a higher
degree than any other file system on
the market,” said Tom Gallop, CEO of
SS White. “As we are starting to learn,
and as the endodontic and restorative
community is starting to see, the value
of that cervical dentin in terms of the
long life creation of successful restorations is a vital element, so we feel that
with that patented feature in V-Taper
files and a lot of the research pointing
to the need to preserve that cervical
dentin as much as possible that we are
on the path to creating longer lasting

endodontic procedures and restorative

new, high-density foam for cleaning
instruments, available from Jordco;
new X-treme endodontic instruments
from JS Dental Mfg.; a new Marwan
Abou-Rass (MAR) microsurgical endodontic instrument line from HuFriedy; the Impact Air 45 high-speed,
air-powered handpiece from Palisades

Plasma light source for Seiler microscopes.

“History & Heritage — Forging the Future.”
Next year’s AAE Annual Session is
scheduled for April 17–20 in Honolulu.
