On behalf of the Korean Association of Endodontics (KAE) and the Asia-Pacific Endodontic Confederation (APEC) Board, I am very pleased and honored to host the 24th APEC Scientific Congress from March 25 to 28, 2027 with the theme "New Wave in Endodontics". This congress will be held in Busan, Korea's second-largest city with beautiful beaches and ports. I sincerely welcome everyone to visit this wonderful and exciting city. The main goal of this congress is to bring together all those involved in endodontics to set a new direction for the field and share knowledge and technology. Therefore, participants will have the opportunity to network with colleagues from all over the world and gain new information about their clinical practices and research. In particular, at this congress, leading experts in endodontics and scholars representing each member country will participate in the academic program. They will present the latest knowledge on various topics. In addition, many dental companies will showcase useful technological advancements and provide participants with a variety of practical experiences.
The APEC Local Organizing Committee (LOC) promises that everyone who participates in the congress will experience the “New Wave” of endodontics, and enjoy a “Dynamic Wave” like K-culture in the beautiful coastal city. Additionally, on behalf of the LOC, I would like to thank everyone who has supported us along the way to success. We look forward to seeing you in Busan soon.
