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 ESE is now governed by a General Assembly made-up of country representative from each member society and managed by an Executive Board that consists of President, Dag Ørstavik; President Elect and CEO, Paul Dummer; Treasurer, Vittorio Franco; Chair of Education and Scholarship Committee, John Whitworth; Chair of Research Committee, Leo Tjäderhane; Chair of Clinical Practice Committee, Gianluca Gambarini; and Chair of Membership Committee, Hal Duncan.
