A wide selection of educational opportuni- ties is available in the lecture halls and right on the show floor, offering endless possibilities — not to mention the count- less products and new technology avail- able from exhibiting companies.

Now, thanks to support from Henry Schein, these trips will be expanding to four times per year. The announcement was made here in New Orleans by Dr. Peter A. Morgan, pres- ident of the Foundation for Endodontics, and John Ferone, senior director, global endodontic category management at Henry Schein, who told Endo Tribune that Henry Schein’s support of the out- reach coincides with the company’s overall commitment to corporate social responsibility. Morgan told Endo Tribune that the vol- unteers performed 120 free root canal treatments on the first three trips alone, emphasizing the need for care in this part of the world. Dr. Peter A.
