The Spanish Association of Endodontics (AEDE) will bring together hundreds of dental professionals in Seville, from October 31 to November 2, at the 44th National Congress that will convey the latest scientific evidence thanks to more than 25 national and international professionals. More than 60% of the poster of speakers have never spoken before at an AEDE congress The aim is to bring new and current knowledge to all colleagues who attend the meeting.
This is revealed in an interview with Dentalia, Jenifer Martín GonzálezPresident of Congress “will ensure a new, innovative environment with high clinical and scientific valuein an event where attendees will be able to choose those presentations and activities that best suit their interests” who points out that “the main attraction of the AEDE 2024 Congress will be to give visibility to the latest scientific and clinical protocols from the best speakers both national and international.
New technologies currently play a very important role during practice in Endodontics. For this reason, Martín González highlights that “digital flow and magnification will be addressed during the days of the Congress through different presentations and hand-on workshops”. “During the Congress, all topics related to each of the phases of root canal treatment will be addressed, from diagnosis to reconstruction of endodontic or traumatized tooth. Much importance will be given to the latest clinical guidelines published by the different international scientific societies and their dissemination and a lot of emphasis will be placed on the interdisciplinary relationship of Endodontics with other areas of Dentistry, without forgetting the most avant-garde techniques,” he points out. The event also includes in its program the evolution of Endodontics at the teaching level, basic research in biomaterials or efficiency in Endodontics, among many other topics.
“The presentations will address all the topics related to each of the phases of root canal treatment, from diagnosis to the reconstruction of the root canal or traumatized tooth.”
Among the news of this editionthe congress will have two plenary rooms in which more than a dozen workshops given by commercial houses and a free course on dental traumatologyon Thursday, October 31, by Dr. Montse Mercadé. That same day, two pre-congress workshops will take place led by doctors Silvia del Cid and Javier Nieto, who will address with cutting-edge planning and stratification techniques in traumatized teeth and the handling of separate instruments. In both workshops, real situations will be simulated, reproducing day-to-day contexts in offices in simulation head models to achieve and acquire skills in ergonomics and posture. In both workshops we will work under magnification with the latest technology in microscopy.
He aim main objective of Congress, explains its president, is to create a meeting forum between colleagues to share science and friendship with the best speakers in Endodontics: “The Congress wanted to give visibility to speakers who had never spoken before at AEDE and who we are sure have a lot to contribute to us. Furthermore, the aim has been to strengthen and support the industry in a very special way, for the best symbiosis with the scientific society.”
More than 25 national and international speakers make up the program of this scientific event, among them Dr. Hal Duncan, editor of International Endodontic Journal, the most prestigious magazine in endodontics, will update the protocols on pulp diagnosis and vital pulp therapywhile Dr. Salvador Gallardo’s presentation will offer all the keys to the connection between persistent periapical lesions and occlusal trauma for correct management.
“The program has very relevant and prominent names in the area of Endodontics”says Martín González. “Professors Áurea Simón, Raquel Osorio, Betriz Tejedor, Carmen Benito, Nuria Escribano who will tell us everything about microbiology applied to Endodontics, basic research in regenerative materials, non-odontogenic pain and whitening; and we will also have the international clinicians Carlos Bóveda, Shanon Paten, Rafael Michiels, Fillipo Santancargelo, Manjeet Ahlowalia; and national speakers Carlos Ibáñez, Diana Villanueva, Ramón Mingués, Francisco García, Nicolás Collado and Daniel Manzano,” he adds.
“In recent years, the paradigm shift in pulpo-periapical diagnosis for correct planning is as evident as it is necessary”
Organize an event of these characteristics requires working well in advancealthough Martín González acknowledges that it has been “very beautiful and has been done with dedication and love, taking maximum care of all the details”, thanks to the team that has worked with her. “The expectations we have are to reach all colleagues and not only endodontists, but also general dentists who can continuously train in this discipline. He level of knowledge and depth that will be taught is going to adapt to all attendees”, he indicates. The Congress attendee will benefit from the latest protocols in force according to scientific evidence with maximum clinical applicability, without forgetting the social part of these events, in which, taking advantage of the framework that Seville offers, there will be “non-endodontic workshop sessions for learn to dance flamenco or wine tasting and many more surprises,” says Martín González.
“In recent years, the paradigm shift in pulpo-periapical diagnosis For correct planning it is as evident as it is necessary,” says the president of Congress. “An interdisciplinary relationship is essential for predictable success.” with other areas of Dentistry. For this reason, at the AEDE 2024 Congress, the latest scientific and clinical protocols will be given visibility by the best national and international speakers,” he explains.
Furthermore, the event hopes to bring together young professionals and students whose concerns have been taken into account both in the Scientific Program of the Congress and in access to it with reduced fees for them. “The reality has exceeded all expectations that we had when we started organizing the Congress and we already have more than 900 registered,” says Martín Gonzalez, who hopes that everyone will learn in “an eminently clinical congress based on the latest scientific evidence.”
