Francesco Riitano Award of the International Congress of the Italian Academy of Endodontics.

Abstract

AIE presents the abstracts of the Francesco Riitano Award of the International Congress of the Italian Academy of Endodontics held in Bologna from February 27 to March 1, 2025. The AIE Francesco Riitano Award is exclusively awarded to graduates in Dentistry who have discussed their degree and/or master’s thesis on topics related to endodontics at both Italian and international universities. The Academy has dedicated this award to Dr. Francesco Riitano, a pioneer of modern Endodontics. He recognized that Endodontics required a deeper exploration of anatomy and the endodontic space to enhance instrumentation and disinfection techniques, thereby ensuring the most conservative treatment possible. Ultimately, the Italian Academy of Endodontics, through initiatives such as the Francesco Riitano Award, underscores the significance of ongoing advancements in dental care.
