Quad Schools Endodontic Conference

On February 26 and 27, residents and faculty members from endodontic residency programs in neighboring states came to LSUSD for the annual Quad School Endodontic Conference. Nearly 40 attendees from the University of Texas Houston, University of Texas San Antonio, Baylor College of Dentistry, Keesler and Lackland Air Force bases, and LSUSD participated in the two-day meeting. The event, held at LSUSD every four years, began in the early 1990's.

Organized by residents, the event was chaired by Dr. Callie Smithson with the assistance of Dr. Jonathan Schubert. In addition to four presentations on the current practice of endodontics, vendors displayed state-of-the-art equipment for the specialty. On the two evenings before the program, attendees enjoyed local culture and food.
