Dr. Gopikrishna is the founder-director of Root Canal Foundation in Chennai and is the author-editor of Grossman’s Endodontic Practice. He is also serving as Secretary General of the Indian Endodontic Society. “This is a proud moment for Indian dentistry. During my term as IFEA President, I aim to improve global patient awareness about saving our own natural teeth through endodontic procedures,” said Dr. Gopikrishna.
