Alborada Gordillo, UIC Barcelona dentistry alumni (2020-2021 graduating class), has been awarded a grant from the Spanish Association of Endodontics thanks to her final degree project (TFG), titled “Asociación entre patología periapical y diabetes mellitus [Association between periapical disease and diabetes mellitus].”

The AEDE chose Alborada Gordillo’s final degree project for its scientific interest, and awarded a €1,500 grant and registration to the 42nd edition of the yearly National Endodontics Conference, which took place 27- 29 October in Zaragoza.
