The Department of Endodontics provides education and training to predoctoral students and to professional students who may work toward a graduate degree along with their professional training. Some students participate with departmental faculty in research that contributes to the knowledge base of the specialty. Faculty members and advanced students in the department also provide care to patients at the College of Dentistry.
D.D.S. Student Training
Coursework and clinical experiences in endodontics are of vital importance in the overall education of Doctor of Dental Surgery students. Preclinical endodontics, taught during the sophomore year, includes a didactic and a laboratory component. In clinical endodontics, taught during the junior year, students study both normal and pathological conditions of the dental pulp and periapex. Diagnosis of pulpal and periradicular disease and various specialized aspects of endodontic treatment are emphasized. Students treat endodontic patients under direct supervision of faculty and staff.
The Department of Endodontics is located in the west section (third floor) of the Dental Science Building (DSB). The Endodontic Clinic is adjacent to the west entrance.
