SIE AWARDS 2022

SIE AWARDS Info and Regulations *

As usual, the Italian Society of Endodontics offers its members the opportunity to participate actively in the work of the IV SIE International Congress, which will take place in Bologna from 3 to 5 November 2022, presenting a Case Report, a Scientific Research or a Review of the Literature. Candidates who intend to submit a work, must therefore carefully read and strictly follow the instructions reported below.

2022 SIE AWARDS: 

• Riccardo Garberoglio Award At the prize will compete Research Scientific Works that will cover basic research and laboratory or clinical research (clinical trials or innovative surgical or operative techniques) provided they are pertinent to the themes of biology, clinical and surgery in Endodontics, in all their aspects.
• Giorgio Lavagnoli Award At the prize will compete Case Reports or Case Series of specific endodontic interest in both clinical and surgical area.
• Francesco Riitano Award At the prize will compete Scientific Reports on endodontic themes mainly focused on Instrumentation, Innovations and Respect of Anatomy.

All interested SIE Members and Authors must submit an abstract of their Work, compiled in accordance with the detailed instructions below for each category, by 15^th May 2022.

In all the categories of SIE Awards the prize will be awarded by the Examining Committees to a single work and will not be admitted ex aequo. The commission may award special merit mentions which will not give rise to the awarding of any prize.

Giorgio Lavagnoli and Francesco Riitano Award

The prize is reserved for the members of the Italian Society of Endodontics, who have regularized their membership no later than 15^th July 2022. Foreign authors can compete for the prize on condition that they are regularly enrolled in the Congress (and at the same time in the SIE). The author can be a co-author in several works, but speaker only in one.

Riccardo Garberoglio Award

The prize will be attributed to the Author presenter, Member of the Italian Society of Endodontics, who have regularized its membership no later than 15^th July 2022. Foreign authors can compete for the prize on condition that they are regularly enrolled in the Congress (and at the same time in the SIE). The author can be a co-author in several works, but speaker only in one.

The abstracts of the Awards received by the scheduled date will be examined by the SIE Cultural Committee, which may eventually request to the Authors for clarifications or modifications, whose non-compliance will lead to exclusion from the prize.

The Cultural Committee will draw up – for each Award – a rating that will be presented to the SIE Directive Board.

The Works judged best by the Committees for each category, will be admitted to the final stage of the related prize and will be presented during the Congress, in the final sessions of each prize and evaluated by the members of the Committee in charge.

The relative prize will be awarded to the best Work for each category, at the unquestionable judgement of the Committee. Ex aequo will not be admitted. In the final phase of the various prizes, the adequacy of content and exposure, related to the punctuality of the speaker, will also be useful in the overall evaluation for the awarding of the prize.

The Works deemed adequate to the standards of the SIE, but not admitted to the final stages of each award, will be included in the Congress program and presented by the authors in other sessions of the Congress. However they will not be eligible for any prize.

The duration of each presentation, both in the awarding sessions and in the ordinary sessions of the Congress, must not exceed 17 minutes with the addition of 3 minutes for discussion. Any delay is not allowed and if this happens the Session Chairman will stop the speaker at the end of the scheduled time.

Award winning authors commit to entirely and exclusively publish their work in the official journal of the SIE – Il Giornale Italiano di Endodonzia.
