APEC NEWS: Focus on Education

We are proud that the APEC Education Committee has endeavoured and succeeded in teamwork with Endodontic Associations or Universities such as Tehran University of Medical Sciences, which collaborates to launch our monthly International Journal Club with the invaluable participation of the main author dedicated not only for the members of APEC but also for colleagues joining us from around the globe.
Moderating these sessions with his rich background in endodontics, Prof. M H Nekoofar, has created an innovative approach of critical appraisal of the evidence published in high impact endodontic journals.

The 19th Scientific Congress of Asian Pacific Endodontic Confederation and 18th IACDE & IES PG Convention, 2017

The Asian Pacific Endodontic Confederation (commonly known as APEC) began in December 1985 in Bangkok, Thailand.
The aims of APEC, as stated in the first Constitution were:
To promote, develop and maintain high standards of endodontic research, teaching and clinical practice in the Asian Pacific region.
and to cultivate and foster closer professional relationships of the endodontic practitioners within the Asian Pacific region.
The 19th Congress presented an excellent and challenging program which broadly provided new insights into basic science, clinical research and therapeutic interventions in Endodontics.
