A Message From the President

Hello NCAE members, past members, and prospective members,

On behalf of the NCAE Board, I’m pleased to share an update on our 2026 NCAE Lecture Series. We’re excited to be returning with a full schedule of five evening lectures beginning in January, offering high-quality, practical continuing education in endodontics.

All lectures in the 2026 series will be held via Zoom, unless otherwise noted. Each lecture will take place from 6:00–8:00 PM, consisting of a 90-minute presentation followed by a 30-minute Q&A, and will provide 2 CE credits.

This year’s lecture series features a diverse and outstanding group of speakers covering a wide range of clinically relevant topics, including surgical procedures, post-operative pain, endodontic outcomes, resorption management, and fracture diagnosis and treatment.

We’re also pleased to share that our final lecture in May will be offered as a hybrid event at the UCSF Alumni House. The speaker will present via Zoom, with the lecture livestreamed to an in-person audience, and a catered meal will be provided—allowing us the opportunity to gather in person while still maintaining virtual access.

The full five-lecture series is offered for $625, which includes access to lecture recordings. Single lectures may be purchased for $200 each, with live Zoom access only.

We hope you’ll join us for what promises to be an informative, engaging, and well-rounded lecture series. We look forward to learning together and continuing to strengthen our NCAE community.

Warm regards,
​
Lynne Baldassari-Cruz, DDS
