Company History
In December 1942, because of the growing interest in endodontics, a small group of dentists, practitioners and educators sent invitations to their colleagues to form an organization in which they could share common endodontic experiences and interests. The American Association of Endodontists was founded in February 1943 at the Palmer House in Chicago.
The AAE has responded to changes in American society and the dental profession since its founding - to the rapid advances in dental technology, the knowledge explosion in health sciences, and the dramatic changes in dental disease demographics.
The AAE mission has evolved from providing a single forum for exchange of information into an agency for education of the profession, formulation of educational policies and development of an educational system for its specialty. It is an advocate for endodontists and endodontics to both the dental profession and the public, promoting the highest quality endodontic care for all patients.
In 1963, the American Dental Association officially recognized endodontics as a dental specialty.
