The setting for the 2007 Annual Session, the largest continuing education event devoted to endodontics in the United States, is rich in national and endodontic history.The streets of Philadelphia were once walked by Benjamin Franklin,Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, as well as I.B. Bender, Louis I. Grossman and Samuel Seltzer. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the 2007 Annual Session Planning Committee, we would like to invite you along for a journey through the “City of Brotherly Love” that will include a celebration of our endodontic heritage and a look at the future of our specialty. The educational tracks developed by your peers include sessions focused on the entire endodontic team, changes in the practice environment, biological requirements of nonsurgical endodontics, new technologies for the office of the future, broadcast of a live molar surgery and treatment of dental injuries.A final series of sessions were selected from presentations submitted by your colleagues to provide even more variety to the program.All of the sessions reflect the roots of endodontic academia that are quite prevalent in Philadelphia. It is also always good to integrate a little “family time” into the meeting schedule.All of the staple Annual Session special events return, including the traditional luncheons, the Fun Run, Opening Session Breakfast and the ever-popular Welcome Reception. Be sure to wear your red, white and blue to the Welcome Reception in order to get into the spirit of the meeting’s events.The President’s Dinner will take place on Friday evening this year and will feature a nationally acclaimed member of the Blue Collar Comedy troupe, Bill Engvall, while the Celebrate Philadelphia! festivities will close the meeting on a high note on Saturday evening.The President’s Dinner is a ticketed event this year in order to ensure appropriate seating for all attendees, so be sure to order your tickets in advance either through the online registration system at www.aae.org, or by submitting the Registration Form at the back of this program. The meeting schedule also provides a number of optional tours that will treat you to the best that the Philadelphia area offers. From the bright lights of Atlantic City to the tranquil stillness of the Amish countryside, the tours also provide historical stops in Valley Forge and the City Tavern.The city has other sightseeing options with a plethora of museums, sporting venues and other historical sites, which can be found on a special Web site created just for AAE visitors at www.PhiladelphiaUSA.travel/aae. The Annual Session is always a great excuse to bring AAE members together. It provides an opportunity to reflect on fond memories and also to look ahead to where we see our specialty heading. In the immortal words of the Philadelphia pop group, Sister Sledge, “We are family… High hopes we have for the future and our goal’s in sight…” Please join the AAE family in Philadelphia to experience all that the 2007 Annual Session has to offer—register today! Sincerely,

John S. Olmsted, D.D.S., M.S. Linda G. Levin, D.D.S., Ph.D. President General Chair

We live in a microbial world; in it, biofilms are the preferred methods of growth and survival in astounding evolutionary- derived architecture integrating three components: structure, Regenerative endodontics is the creation of healthy physiology and pathogenicity. Its key feature is diversity, yet replacement tissues for diseased, missing and traumatized biofilms are governed by the same seven Universal Microbial pulp. This symposium will take the practitioner from the Principles of planktonics (free-floating) bacteria. The trans- origins of stem cell therapies, through tissue engineering lation to biofilm management of root canal and abscess and end with the development of regenerative endodontic infections will be addressed contrasting the multiple cast of therapies. Topics to be discussed include a review of root organisms (both oral and systemic), their patient antibiotic canal revascularization, stem cell therapy, pulp scaffold resistance and organism origin, their optimal detection, and implants, 3-D cell printing, injectable scaffolds and gene compare new strategies for one-day patient care.

Pre-Session Symposium

From Molecules to Man:An Evidence- Right Facts…Wrong Conclusions Based Approach for Understanding and Wm. Ben Johnson, D.D.S. Treating Endodontic Pain Tulsa, Okla. Kenneth M. Hargreaves, D.D.S., Ph.D. San Antonio, Texas Endodontists are bombarded with statements surrounding the efficacy of various treatment protocols. The facts This session will review biological and clinical studies available from published research can be overwhelming and with an emphasis on increasing our knowledge of pain at times contradictory. The fact is, cleaning and shaping of mechanisms and the skills needed to translate that the root canal space is being done more efficiently than ever. knowledge into improved patient care. Topics to be The wrong conclusion we make is that our procedures are discussed include a review of newly recognized “as good as it gets.” The quality of the shapes we create is mechanisms of pain and how this information applies to directly related to the instruments we use. Can they be the endodontic practice, and the latest results of clinical better? Yes! trials evaluating analgesics, anesthetics and antibiotics. At conclusion, participants should be able to: At conclusion, participants should be able to: • Discuss and understand state-of-the-art metallurgy • Describe how knowledge of pain mechanisms translates as it relates to rotary instruments. to improved analgesics. • Describe design characteristics associated with rotary • Describe “individualized medicine,” specifically focusing instruments and be able to select the proper instrument on the role of genetics and the environment in for the task at hand. mediating differences in patient response to treatment. • Differentiate various protocols for cleaning and shaping. • Apply results from clinical research to strategies for managing odontogenic pain and odontogenic infections.

Dear Alliance Members,

As President of the AAAE, I welcome all Alliance members to participate in this year’s activities. Back by popular demand, the Alliance will sponsor a silent auction held in conjunction with the Welcome Reception. This year’s auction will focus on sports items with proceeds supporting the AAE Foundation. Volunteers are always needed the day of the event!

In addition, we are very excited to have Val Rossman as our featured speaker during Thursday’s annual luncheon meeting. Equally exciting is the opportunity to extend the program by visiting the Barnes Foundation Museum. This is a must-see stop in Philadelphia for both the novice and experienced art enthusiasts.

Please stop by our desk located in the AAE Registration and Information area for additional information about all that is in store for members of the AAE’s endodontic spouse organization. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,

Janette Sonnenberg AAE Alliance President
