Academia Italiana Endodonzia (AIE). The Italian Academy of Endodontics was founded in 1992 by a group of practitioners with special interests and expertise in different aspects of endodontics. The founders included Carlo Marin, Nicola Perrini, Gianfranco Vignoletti and Amedeo Zerbinati who, in addition, to sharing a passion for endodontics wished to inspired others to become leaders in the field. The Academy is now a thriving, dynamic organisation. AIE has been part of the European Society of Endodontology (ESE) since 2013. In 2019, the Academy was accredited by the Italian Ministry of Health as a Scientific Society to be called on to produce and update Clinical Recommendations in Dentistry. The AIE tie (22686.4 – condition, new) is unusual in that the AIE logo is on the tail of the otherwise uniform tie.
