AAE holds its
annual meeting
in Honolulu
(and this time,
no rain!)
By Fred Michmershuizen,
Managing Editor
The American Association of Endodontists held its 2013 Annual Session in
April at the Hawaii Convention Center in
Honolulu, offering plenty of educational
opportunities, an exhibit hall filled with
innovative products and services, and
numerous social events. And unlike the
last time AAE met in Hawaii, there was no
rain. (Some locals still remember the torrential downpours that took place during
that meeting, back in 2006.)
The theme of this year’s event was
“Exceeding Expectations,” and, judging
by the wide range of technical expertise
and new technology that was on offer, it’s
clear the event likely lived up to its billing
for most attendees.
The meeting offered what was called
AAE President Dr. James C. Kulild addresses meeting attendees during the President’s
Breakfast.
“the largest endodontic exhibit hall in
the world,” where meeting attendees
could talk to representatives from major
dental and medical suppliers, explore
new products and services being offered
and take advantage of show deals that
were only available in Honolulu. (For
some product highlights from the meeting, turn to Page C4.)
Educational topics included tissue en-
gineering, pain management, outcome
assessments, medical myths in dentistry
and more. “Mega-Session Wednesday,”
new this year, allowed attendees to delve
deeper into various topics. The alwayspopular Master Clinician Series and
hands-on workshops featured leading
experts in topics such as “Differential
Diagnosis of Pain,” “Clinical Application
of High-Resolution CBCT in Endodon-

tics,” “Maximizing the Value of Your Endodontic Service” and “Functional CrownLengthening Surgery.”
A number of individuals were honored
with awards.

practice in Knoxville, Tenn., received
the President’s Award, bestowed only

nine times in the AAE’s history. Powell
was recognized for dedicating countless
hours to the advancement of the AAE
since joining in 1970.
Dr. Samuel O. Dorn received the AAE’s
highest honor, the Edgar D. Coolidge
Award, given for leadership and exemplary dedication to dentistry and endodontics. Dorn is professor and chair of
the department of endodontics and director of the advanced specialty education program in endodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at
Houston.
Dr. Peter E. Murray, an endodontics
professor at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine, received
the Ralph F. Sommer Award, in recognition of his research on regeneration of
teeth and tissues.
Dr. H. Robert Steiman received the I.B.
Bender Lifetime Educator Award. Since

The Endo-Express® Reciprocating
Handpiece and the SafeSiders® make
rotary irrelevant. The instruments,
available from Essential Dental Systems
(EDS), are designed to eliminate the fear
of fracture associated with crown-down
systems and the typical shortcomings
of the step-back process. Unlike other
“so-called” reciprocating systems, the
Endo-Express’ truly reciprocal motion
prevents binding. Excessive force is never needed. You will replace instruments
because they dull and not because you Photo/Provided by EDS
fear they will break.
When using SafeSiders in the Endo-Express Handpiece, you will:
• Shape canals in two to five minutes with no hand fatigue.
• Reduce time and increase productivity.
In addition, you will eliminate cyclic fatigue, torsional stress, binding and instrument separation.
Because the risk of instrument separation is virtually eliminated, you gain
confidence and perform increasingly challenging endo cases in your office.
Due to engine-driven reciprocation, chair time is greatly reduced improving
productivity.
