EPP is celebrating a major professional milestone for Dr. Jay Hwang, one of our newest associates, a recent endodontic graduate of the University of Detroit Mercy, and now a published author in the Journal of Endodontics(!).

His article, “Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity of Triton All-In-One Irrigation Solution: An In Vitro Study,” contributes meaningful data to ongoing discussions around irrigant safety, biocompatibility, and the future of irrigation protocols.

What makes this achievement truly remarkable is that the Journal of Endodontics is one of the most competitive and highly selective publications in our specialty. As Dr. Terryl Propper shared from her experience serving on the journal’s editorial board, the review process is exceptionally rigorous and only a small fraction of submissions are accepted. Many clinicians work for years to reach this milestone.

EPP is excited to support Dr. Hwang as he excels at Northwest Endodontic Specialists in Woodstock, GA, and continues to make meaningful contributions to our field. Having Jay has been such a great addition to the team, and this achievement just reinforces how lucky we are to have him at EPP. We are excited to cheer him on as he continues to grow. ⭐
