In 2004 Sandra Madison, of Asheville, North Carolina, was elected as the first female president of the American Association of Endodontists.

The American Association of Endodontists serves as the primary source of continuing education in endodontics for its members, the dental profession, the public and others.

As an educational and social medium, the AAE Annual Session attracts endodontists and other dental professionals from around the world to exchange ideas and learn the latest endodontic techniques and research.

Board certification requires successful completion of the Written, Case History Portfolio and Oral Examinations.

The Association also partners with the AAE Foundation, a charitable organization promoting the advancement of the science of endodontics through grants to education and to research.
