About society

The Lithuanian Society of Endodontology (LSE) was established in November 1993 by a group of 13 endodontists and dentists, becoming the first professional dental society in Lithuania. The founding meeting took place in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. The Society was founded through the dedication and vision of its founding members, particularly Prof. Vytautė Pečiulienė, Assoc. Prof. Rasutė Manelienė and Dr. Bronius Sidaravičius.

Since its establishment, the Society has been committed to advancing endodontics in Lithuania by promoting high standards of clinical practice, education and scientific research. It aims to strengthen collaboration with national and international dental organisations, support undergraduate and postgraduate education, and provide a platform for professional communication, continuing education and scientific exchange among dentists.

Today, the Lithuanian Society of Endodontology has approximately 100 members, including general dental practitioners, endodontists, researchers and academics who share a common interest in evidence-based endodontic care.

The Society is an active member of the European Society of Endodontology (ESE), having joined in 2010, and is also a member of the International Federation of Endodontic Associations. Through these international partnerships, the Society contributes to the advancement of endodontics by promoting scientific collaboration, professional exchange and continuing education, while strengthening connections between the Lithuanian and international endodontic communities.

Every year, the Society organises scientific meetings, lectures and hands-on courses featuring internationally recognised speakers, bringing together clinicians, researchers and students. In 2026, Lithuania hosted the first European Society of Endodontology Autumn Meeting, reflecting the Society’s growing role within the European endodontic community.
