This narrative delineates the International, Australian and Queensland settings, between 1940 and 1970 that impeded the development of endodontology and evidence-based endodontic practice. It explores the genesis of the Endodontic Study Club of Brisbane between 1964 and 1970. Pioneers' contributions to endodontology in Australia, together with contemporaneous problems, are identified. The author used literature review and historic method. The historical and constitutional backgrounds contributed to the disjointed origins of the Australian Society of Endodontology, which were networked but autonomous study clubs that appeared in capital cities between 1960 and 1965. This was an era when dental education in Queensland was emerging from serious problems. Brown and Simpson liaised with Ehrmann and established the Endodontic Study Club of Brisbane. Members of the Endodontic Study Club of Brisbane were collegiate, disciplined, few, innovative, insular, isolated and visionary. Membership demanded a commitment to self-education, collective learning and peer review.
本文叙述了1940年至1970年间阻碍牙髓病学发展和循证牙髓治疗实践的国际、澳大利亚及昆士兰背景。探讨了1964年至1970年间布里斯班牙髓病学研究俱乐部的起源。确定了澳大利亚先驱者对牙髓病学的贡献以及同期存在的问题。作者采用了文献综述和历史研究方法。历史和组织背景导致了澳大利亚牙髓病学会起源的分散，它是由1960年至1965年间出现在各首府城市的相互联系但又自主的研究俱乐部组成。这是一个昆士兰牙科教育正从严重问题中摆脱出来的时代。布朗和辛普森与埃尔曼取得联系并成立了布里斯班牙髓病学研究俱乐部。布里斯班牙髓病学研究俱乐部的成员团结、自律、人数不多、富有创新精神、与世隔绝、孤立无援且有远见卓识。会员资格要求致力于自我教育、集体学习和同行评审。
