Advanced Dental Education Program in Endodontics

Program Director: Thomas Manders, DDS

The Advanced Dental Education Program in Endodontics is a 24-month, full-time program designed to meet the eligibility requirements of both the American Dental Association for specialization in endodontics and the certifying examination given by the American Board of Endodontics. Applicants to the program must have a DDS or DMD degree, or foreign equivalent. Beginning in July of each year, training takes place primarily in the School of Dental Medicine and its clinical facility (Dental Care Center). Each resident utilizes an operatory designed for endodontic practice, which includes x-ray machines, digital imaging equipment and surgical operating microscopes. Emphasis is placed on diagnosis, in conjunction with the other disciplines, and treatment of all patients requiring endodontic therapy, using a varied aggregate of treatment modalities. Instruction will be provided through lectures, seminars, case presentation, conferences and clinical practice. To receive a certificate in the advanced educational program in endodontics, the student must:

• Satisfactorily complete all courses listed below
• Submit 20 completed case write-ups as per the standards of the American Board of Endodontics
• Complete one research project; pass bi-annual oral examinations modeled after the certifying exam of the American Board of Endodontics
• Challenge the written portion of the American Board of Endodontics exam in the second year.
