Endodontic Research Seminars

AAE members are invited to present either a table or poster clinic on Saturday, April 23, 1988 from 8:30 am to 11:30 am. An ideal table clinic demonstrates a simple, time-saving procedure or interesting scientific phenomenon. It should be shown completely in ten minutes, using models, radiographs, or projected slides. It should not require use of motion pictures, heavy equipment, patient participation, or extensive space. Poster presentations should be "mini-abstracts" of a research project, technique, or any other method. All prepared material must be visible from a distance of several feet, and typed material must be prepared on a bulletin typewriter-. A SERIES OF TYPEWRITTEN SHEETS ATTACHED TO THE POSTER BOARD IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE POSTER CLINIC. Poster boards will measure 4 x 8 feet. No more than two clinicians may present one clinic and commercial selling of items is strictly forbidden. Information and applications may be obtained from the AAE Central Office. Completed applications must be returned by November 1, 1987 to the Table Clinic Chairman, Dr. Robert J. Rosenberg, 211 East Chicago Avenue, Suite 1501, Chicago, IL 60611. As space is limited, preference will be given to the earliest postmarked applications.

Each year at the AAE Annual Session, the Endodontic Research Seminars feature many fine papers presented by a number of investigators. These papers have become an integral part of our Annual Sessions and deserve to be disseminated more widely to the interested members of our profession. To accomplish this, a format, closely patterned after that of the International Association of Dental Research (IADR), was created to screen and select the Research Seminar papers. Each prospective participant will be sent a form on which to type an abstract of about 250 words. Each abstract should state the objectives of the investigation, the experimental methods used, and the essential results and conclusions. No illustrations should be included. The abstracts will be circulated to the members of the Committee on Research and Scientific Affairs, and those accepted will be published in the April issue of the Journal of Endodontics, thus becoming part of the permanent record of our profession. Published abstracts should enable our members to participate in seminars of their interest. Those interested in presenting papers as part of either the graduate or regular section of the Endodontic Research Seminars can obtain the necessary forms by writing to the chairman of the seminars: Dr. Mahmoud Torabinejad School of Dentistry, Dept. of Endodontics Loma Linda University Loma Linda, CA 92350 To encourage the submission of more abstracts, the Committee on Research and Scientific Affairs has extended the deadline for submission of applications to November 15, 1987. All authors will be notified of the disposition of their papers by January 15, 1988.

Are You Planning to Retire If so, please remember that all requests to have membership status changed beginning January 1, 1988, from Active to Retired must be received at the Central Office by September 15, 1987. Requests received by this date will be voted upon by the Board of Directors when it meets in October. To qualify for retired status, an individual must have been an Active member of the AAE in good standing for ten consecutive years and must be completely retired from teaching and/ or practice. Life membership in the AAE is also available to members who have been Active members in good standing for

twenty-five consecutive years, and who have attained the age of sixty-five. Members who qualify for Life membership will automatically be notified by AAE of their eligibility.

DRMF Founded to Help Dentists The Dental Risk Management Foundation (DRMF) was established on June 8, 1987. It is a non-profit organization formed by a group of dentists to address the present liability insurance crisis. DRMF will deliver risk management information to members through educational programs. It will be governed by a board of trustees composed of dental practitioners, dental educators, defense attorneys and risk management experts. DRMF has contracted with American Health Systems Inc., a national firm that specializes in health economics and risk management consulting, as the administrators of the Foundation. Members of DMRF will be able to apply for professional liability insurance through a sponsored program, which is designed to provide a solution for DRMF members caught in the liability insurance crisis.

Endodontic Organizations and Alumni Groups If you are planning to organize a breakfast, luncheon meeting, reception or dinner in conjunction with the AAE Annual Session in Anaheim, please inform the Central Office as soon as possible. This is the only way in which to reserve hotel space for your meeting and to have it listed in the official program. Those groups planning to hold their functions outside of our headquarters hotel may still obtain a listing in the program if information is sent to the Central Office. In July, groups that held meetings last year (1987) were contacted to determine their requirements for the Anaheim meeting. Many have already responded and hotel space is being filled quickly. Therefore, it is extremely important that new requests for space be submitted immediately. If you have any questions, please contact Letty Catrambone at the Central Office.
