The program is fully accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association and also fulfills the educational requirements for specialty board certification by the American Board of Endodontics.
The full-time, 24-month program admits five exceptional applicants each July, who must remain in continuous residency for the duration of the program.
The first year of the program focuses on the didactic component, which consists of multiple seminar courses that involve extensive analysis of primary scientific literature in endodontics, and a series of biomedical science courses taken with graduate students from other clinical specialty programs at the dental school.
The second year focuses on patient care activities. Clinical training and experience is provided in all acceptable treatment modalities in clinical endodontics, with clinical proficiency attained in all phases of endodontic therapy. This includes the use of various types of endodontic instrumentation, nonsurgical obturation techniques and endodontic surgery.
Students in the program have the opportunity to treat a vast, highly diverse patient pool with a wide range of endodontic treatment needs. Collaborative educational activities are available with other endodontic specialty programs and faculty within greater Philadelphia.
Oral Health Science MS
Students in the Graduate Endodontics Program apply for the Master of Science in Oral Health Sciences upon acceptance to the program. In this 40-credit postgraduate master’s program, students apply modern biological principles and research techniques that aid in diagnosing, treating and preventing oral and craniofacial diseases and anomalies. The fee for this application is $60.
Through the interdisciplinary curriculum, students study the structure, development and function of oral tissues; their interrelationships; and their connections to other organ systems. Research areas include advanced general dentistry, clinical fields, and periodontal and craniofacial regeneration.
The program’s Clinical Specialty Track is specifically tailored for postgraduate students currently enrolled in an advanced training certificate in the Kornberg School of Dentistry. Coursework in students’ postgraduate certificate programs count toward the required 40 credits for the Oral Health Sciences MS degree.
