• Aim – e.g. To evaluate, to analyse …
• Methodology – a concise description of the experimental design, and materials and methods along with statistical tests
• Results - results and statistical analysis

You may only present ONE abstract in each category. If you are not presenting the submission, make sure the presenter is NOT presenting another abstract in the same category.

Edits to submitted abstracts can be made until 1st March.

Evaluation:

The ESE Research Committee is responsible for evaluating and selecting abstracts for presentation in the Research Poster section. There will be a blind review with 2 possible outcomes: accepted or rejected.

PLEASE NOTE: THE RESEARCH ABSTRACTS WILL BE EVALUATED ONLY ONCE.

After the initial submission deadline, there will be no opportunity to modify abstracts or resubmit for further consideration. If the abstract does not comply with the guidance, is poorly written or information is missing, it will be rejected and authors offered the opportunity to be included in the General Endodontic Poster section.

Presentation:

All accepted research posters will be presented as a printed poster and will be moderated with 3 minutes allocated for presentation followed by 5 minutes for questions and answers. The nominated author must be in attendance for the entire session they are allocated to. 

Poster sessions will take place between 13:30 and 14:30 on Thursday, Friday or Saturday

Posters Presentation Format:
MUST be printed in portrait style. Size max 84 cm wide by 118 cm high (print size A0). 

 

Paul Dummer Research Award Competition: 

A limited number of high-quality submissions will be selected by the ESE Research Committee for oral presentation to the Paul Dummer Poster Award competition. Following the review process, invited authors will be given the opportunity to present their work as an oral presentation. 

Oral presentations will take place on Thursday 4th September 2025 between 11:00 and 12:30 (Hall 5) and will be limited to 10 minutes plus 5 minutes for discussion. The best presentation will be awarded €1,000. 

Rejection: 

Abstracts rejected from the Research Poster category will be given the opportunity to be included in the General Endodontic Poster section. Abstracts may be rejected for the following reasons:

• The abstract is incomplete or poorly organized;
• Information is missing (objective, methods, results – data and statistical analysis, conclusions);
• The subject is not significant;
• The abstract is not original or was already presented, or published;
• Well-defined criteria are not given for evaluation of variables;
• Poor choice of controls or no controls reported;
• The method of obtaining data is not appropriate to the stated problem;
• The conclusions are not supported by the results.

Abstracts accepted and presented as posters in the Research Poster section are published in the International Endodontics Journal and become part of the scientific literature. The Committee reserves the right to move the abstract to another Topic other than the one selected by the author. The presenter may withdraw the abstract at any time by emailing eseparis2025.abstracts@aimgroup.eu
