Overview

Endodontics: Endodontists are critical to the military mission by providing necessary timely assessments and quality treatments for the resolution of oral pain associated with the dental pulp, periradicular pathology, traumatic injuries, and orofacial infections; which together account for many of the non-deployable classifications for the warfighter. This is a 24-month clinical and didactic post-doctoral program which trains residents to become skilled at providing competent evidence-based diagnoses along with surgical and non-surgical therapy to address pulpal and periapical disease. The program is built to fully satisfy the educational requirements to meet the examination and certification by the American Board of Endodontics. Additionally, residents learn to clinically and administratively manage a range of DoD Warfighters and their unique requirements. The program includes didactic basic sciences, pertinent Endodontic seminars, literature reviews, patient care and research.
