The Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University offers an advanced education program leading to a Certificate in Endodontics. The philosophy of this program is to educate dentists to become competent endodontists who will serve the public and the profession at a high level of excellence.  It stresses the importance of knowledge and skills in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases associated with the dental pulp and related periapical tissues.  The correlation of basic sciences and clinical sciences is an integral part of the program.  Individuals who successfully complete this advanced education program will be awarded a Certificate in Endodontics. An optional Masters degree program is available but requires an additional 6-12 months matriculation and additional advanced, separate admission/tuition through the Graduate School.

Successful completion of the postdoctoral curriculum fulfills all the educational requirements for eligibility for examination by the American Board of Endodontics
