European Society of Endodontology (ESE)

Oslo, Oslo, Norway

The European Society of Endodontology (ESE) was created in 1983 from the existing European Academy of Endodontology. The Society was initially made-up of ‘active’ individual members but was re-structured in 2001 into a federal organisation representing national endodontic and dental societies throughout Europe and a new category of ‘Certified’ individual members.

The purpose of the Society is to be an organisation with global reach and impact focused on the broad field of Endodontology, the branch of dental sciences dealing with health, injuries to and diseases of the dental pulp and periradicular region, and their relationship with general health and wellbeing.

Mission:
To enhance the development of Endodontology for the benefit of patients, general dentists, endodontists, educators, researchers and those in training, and to represent Endodontology and Endodontists within Europe and beyond.
