Asociación Española de Endodoncia (AEDE)

What Asociación Española de Endodoncia (AEDE) does

AEDE is a nonprofit professional scientific association headquartered in Madrid, founded in 1978 as the primary body representing endodontists and dental specialists in Spain. It serves licensed dentists, postgraduate students, young professionals, and international members through a multi-tier membership structure (Numerario, Estudiante, Joven, Internacional) and reaches a broader audience of general dentists and patients through its training programs and educational campaigns. The association's mission combines continuing education, scientific publishing, and advocacy for the official recognition of endodontics as a dental specialty in Spain.

The core product is the peer-reviewed Revista Endodoncia, published since 1982 in Spanish and English with open PDF access upon registration. This is complemented by a portfolio of paid and free education products: the annual national congress (46 editions as of 2026), the Winter Course, the biennial Traumatology Dentoalveolar Symposium, regional training at dental colleges across Spain, live and archived webinars, the Aula AEDE virtual learning platform, standardized informed consents and clinical protocols, research scholarships, and the 'Salvadores de Dientes' public awareness campaign. Distribution leverages a network of regional dental colleges and international alliances with the European Society of Endodontology, the British Endodontic Society, and Latin American societies.

Revenue is generated primarily through membership fees (annual subscriptions ranging from free for students to 160 EUR for international members), event registration fees (congresses, courses, symposiums with member discounts), and supporting services. Underlying technology emphasizes dissemination of advanced endodontic practices — CBCT imaging, surgical microscopes, bioceramic materials, AI-assisted radiograph interpretation, and guided surgery — rather than proprietary product development. The association operates with 9 employees and is governed by an elected board and president, with no external ownership or venture capital backing.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Sociedad Española de Odontopediatría (SEOP): Spanish pediatric dentistry society that co-organizes AEDE's IV Traumatology Dentoalveolar Symposium in Almería and shares the same national dentist audience, providing overlap at the pediatric-trauma intersection of AEDE's clinical scope.
• Sociedad Española de Ortodoncia (SEDO): Spanish orthodontic society collaborating on lectures at the XLVI Congress in Oviedo. Shares AEDE's domestic dentist audience and national-association operating model but focuses on orthodontics, not endodontics.
• Sociedad Española de Prótesis Estomatológica y Estética (SEPES): Adjacent Spanish dental society focused on prosthodontics that co-programs sessions at AEDE's XLVI Congress in Oviedo and co-organizes FORIEP with AEDE. Same national Spanish-dentist audience but different clinical specialty.

Direct peers

• American Association of Endodontists (AAE): Largest US-based endodontic professional association with a peer-reviewed Journal of Endodontics, annual meeting, and specialty advocacy. It mirrors AEDE's full-stack model (journal, congress, advocacy, training) and competes for international speaker and member mindshare.
• Accademia Italiana di Endodonzia (AIE): Italian endodontic academy offering memberships, congresses, and specialty recognition advocacy. AEDE board member Adrián Lozano Alcañiz was the first foreign active member, evidencing the same endodontic-specialty community positioning.
• Sociedad Argentina de Endodoncia (SAE): Argentine endodontic society that co-organizes the Endoconectados online congress with AEDE and participates in joint webinars. A direct functional peer serving the same specialty in a Spanish-speaking market, with the same membership, congress, and journal structure.
• European Society of Endodontology (ESE): Pan-European endodontic scientific association offering a biennial congress, clinical guidelines, and a member community that overlaps directly with AEDE's endodontist audience. AEDE collaborates with ESE and uses ESE educational videos on its patient portal, making it the most structurally comparable peer.
• British Endodontic Society (BES): UK endodontic association that signed a formal agreement with AEDE in December 2024 covering joint scientific activities, mutual promotion, and member pricing at events. Operates the same membership, journal, and meeting model as AEDE at country scale.
• Société Française d'Endodontie (SFE): French endodontic society collaborating with AEDE on international webinars. Operates the same scientific-association model — membership tiers, annual congress, and continuing-education programming — for French-speaking endodontists.

Broad incumbents

• Consejo General de Dentistas de España: Overarching regulatory body for all dentists in Spain. AEDE participates in the Consejo's Specialty Commission and the Consejo grants AEDE members its highest recognition (Premio Santa Apolonia). The broad-incumbent partner that co-owns Spain's specialty-formation agenda.
