On June 11, 1996, the Endodontics Department realized
its dream by officially opening the new Endodontic Microscopy
Center. On hand to cut the ribbon for the department's newest
showcase were Dr. David Broski, Chancellor of the University of
Illinois at Chicago; Dr. Dale Eisenmann, Associate Dean for Academic
Affairs at the UIC College of Dentistry; Dr. Nijole Remeikis,
Professor and Head of the Department of Endodontics and Mr. Jerry
Garbutt, President of Global Surgical Corporation. Also, over
50 faculty, staff and friends were in attendance from various
departments in the college to witness this event. For more information
on the new microscope lab, please go to the page on the Endodontic Microscopy Center.
The center was dedicated during the 8th Annual Charles
G. Maurice Seminar where Dr. Thom C. Dumsha presented a seminar
on "Dental Trauma." Prior to the opening of the lab,
our own Dr. Scott Bentkover, Assistant Clinical Professor of Endodontics,
gave an introductory lecture on the new Endodontic Microscope
Center and the Global M5 microscopes. Dr. Bentkover was primarily
responsible for the design and implementation of our new lab.
