Endodontics

(Three-Year Program)

The Advanced Education Program in Endodontics offers an opportunity to earn both a certificate in Endodontics and a master of science degree following three years of full-time academic endeavor. The graduate program accepts two students each year.

The clinical practice aspect of the program occupies approximately 50 percent of the time, affording a broad-based clinical experience in conventional and surgical endodontic treatment, often in coordination with residents in other dental specialty programs.

The remaining time is devoted to didactic study in both basic science and clinical science disciplines, including biology of the dental pulp, endodontic surgery, review of the endodontic literature, practice management, and research and thesis, with opportunities for clinical teaching also provided. Upon satisfactory completion of the program students receive a certificate in endodontics and a master of science degree from UT School of Dentistry. The program is designed to prepare participants for the American Board of Endodontics specialty examination.
