Advanced
Education -
Endodontics
The
Endodontics Program
duration is 24 months and
is designed to give
advanced specialty-level
education to an individual
committed to the practice
of endodontics. Upon
satisfactory completion of
the program, the student
will receive a Master of
Science in Dentistry and a
Certificate in
Endodontics, and will
possess the necessary
credentials to be declared
"board eligible" by the
American Board of
Endodontics. The student
will spend approximately
60 percent of the assigned
time in clinical practice,
with the remainder
comprising academic
courses and seminars,
teaching, and research.
Coupled with appropriate
supervision, clinical
experience will expose
students to the complete
scope of an endodontic
practice with adult,
pediatric, and medically
compromised patients. The
range of clinical
procedures includes
diagnosis, emergency and
trauma management,
nonsurgical and surgical
therapy, initial and
re-treatment endodontic
procedures, utilization of
the operating microscope
and many other aspects of
the specialty. Management
of 300 clinical cases and
completion of an original
research project are
required.
Research
experience and clinical
experience beyond dental
school (such as private
practice, military
experience, residencies,
or teaching) will
strengthen the applicant's
credentials.
Follow
application directions for
this program on the ADEA
PASS website.
