Hear From Our Customers
"I have been using the Sapphire HD Mirrors and handles for about 1.5 years. I am extremely satisfied with them. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy dental photographic mirrors. You wont be disappointed with the Sapphire HD Mirror, plus the customer service is excellent!"
"I love your tips. I wish I had known how good they were when I opened my office, as I wasted a bunch of money on other brand tips that would often break the first time they touched tooth structure. I had previously thought that all tips were created equal."
"EIE has a great selection of ultrasonics which are very efficient and tough to break. I usually wear them down a couple of mm instead of breaking them. I am a huge fan of these."
"EIE's innovative designs, virtually unbreakable and 'Ninety-Degree' angled tips allow me to work in a stress free and more comfortable environment, translating to improved patient care especially for molars with limited access. Thanks Dr. Gary Carr, Mr. Donnie Carr and EIE!"
EIE tips are by far the best on the market. Great quality and excellent value. I use the CT4 and UT4 non-diamond coated tips exclusively. The versatility and durability are unparalleled, and the UT4’s sharp tip allows for the most controlled groove troughing with no excess dentin removal. Thanks Donnie for taking great care of your clients!”
Our Story
Our story starts in 1986 when Dr. Gary Carr founded the non-profit Pacific Endodontic Research Foundation (PERF) for the purpose of endodontic research. Why? He was puzzled by the numerous studies reporting high failure rates of endodontic surgeries, especially when evaluated over longer time frames. This research suggested that current endodontic surgical techniques were deficient, primarily due to poor visibility and the insufficient adaptation of restorative dentistry’s armamentarium. To overcome these problems, Dr. Carr invented better instruments for root end surgical treatment, in part by redesigning and miniaturizing classical endodontic instruments to operate better under the microscope. These inventions led to the creation of the original Excellence in Endodontics (EIE) company. Because these instruments revolutionized the field of surgical endodontics, within two years EIE became a major player in surgical instrumentation in the endodontic field and was eventually acquired by Sybron Endo.
Dr. Carr expanded his Foundation (PERF) and began teaching microscopic endodontic techniques to endodontists and their assistants. Over a 10 year period, Dr. Carr and his team trained over 1/3 of the practicing endodontists in the United States and Canada and 80% of the Postgraduate Directors of Endodontics in North America. In total, they trained over 5,000 people during this period.
While he spent years working for years to ensure PERF's success, the development of new endodontic instrument designs in the industry failed to progress as quickly as Dr. Carr had hoped. Utilizing new concepts being developed at PERF, he decided to revive the endodontic instrument company Excellence in Endodontics, this time as EIE2. Excellence in Endodontics gained a reputation for developing quality, cutting-edge specialized endodontic instruments.
In 2015, Dr. Carr's son took over the management of Excellence in Endodontics. Donnie Carr has continued to focus on improving and growing the company while maintaining the standards his father set in place, focusing on quality with USA made products and reliable customer support. With the support of the endodontic community, EIE2 has grown exponentially, and we will continue to evolve with the goal of advancing endodontic research and patient care.
