In fact, many of the lectures were very entertain- ing and of extremely high quality with regard to the content as well as presentation. “It was great to see presentations that staggered me with the quality of the material and the multimedia that were shown,” commented Dr Glen van Ass, who lectured on Micro- scopecentredpractice:Ergonomicsanddocumenta- tion. “Video through the operating microscope and still photos from some of the experts was incredible. It is impressive to see the quality of the work that these teachers and talented clinicians can provide in a humble yet confident manner.” The meeting was sponsored by major industry players, like VDW, Zeiss, DENTSPLY Maillefer, Sybron- Endo Europe and Kodak. Dr John Schoeffel from the US, who introduced EndoVac—an endodontic irriga- tiontechnologysystem—inhislecture,alsopresented the product to interested attendees at the Discus booth. EndoVac enables safe irrigation to apical ter- mination with an abundant supply of fresh irrigant. Unlike positive pressure systems that use cannulas to deliver irrigants into the canal, the EndoVac is a true apical negative pressure system that draws fluid api- cally by way of evacuation. “It’snotoftenthatmeetingsinspireandrejuvenate people and make them look forward to future meet- ings,” commented Dr Nallapati. “To me, certainly, this Roots Summit has done all that. And that is a testi- mony to the wonderful effort of Nuria, Noemí and theirteam.”AttendeeDrMahalaxmiSekaragreed,say- ing that he pitied all those who had missed this event in Barcelona.
