ROOTS SUMMIT 2024 is currently taking place until 12 May at the Eugenides Foundation in Athens in Greece. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, ROOTS SUMMIT began as a pioneering email study club and evolved into a significant scientific meeting, its inaugural event being held in Canada back in 1999. Known for changing locations, the summit has been held biennially since 2005 and continues to enhance global endodontics with its scientific programme. In this interview, Dental Tribune International (DTI), which co-organises the event, brings insights from co-chairmen Steve Jones and Dr Freddy Belliard and scientific director Dr David E. Jaramillo. They delve into the summit’s history, its strengths and value for the endodontic community, and the challenges it has overcome through the years.
