Speaker · DMD, MS · Program Director, US Army Advanced Education in Endodontics — Ft. Bragg
Dr. Matthew Kinstler is originally from Glendale, Arizona. He earned his dental degree from Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine before serving five years as a general dentist in the United States Army under the Health Professions Scholarship Program.
Dr. Kinstler completed his specialty training in endodontics at Fort Bragg under the mentorship of Dr. Steve Delgado. His passion for education led him to serve as the endodontics mentor for a two-year AEGD program, eventually transitioning into the role of Assistant Program Director for the Fort Bragg Endodontics Residency. He currently serves as the Program Director at Fort Bragg, overseeing the clinical and academic development of eight endodontic residents.
Dr. Kinstler is passionate about developing the next generation of endodontists and advancing the specialty through innovation, mentorship, and high clinical standards. His four great loves in endodontics are pre-bent hand files, patency, apical fireworks, and cone pumping — some would affectionately call him an “apical barbarian.”
