Advanced Endodontics

The advanced endodontics certificate program is a two-year course of study that begins the first of September each year. This program provides students with the background information and clinical experience necessary for a specialist in the practice of endodontics, and also offers activities in research and teacher-training for students interested in academic endodontics.

Emphasis is on the interaction of this specialty with other specialties and with general dentistry.

The program prepares its graduates for competency in five areas of endodontics: clinical, surgical, research, biological basis and teaching.

The program in endodontics is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education.
