About the Program

The University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine Endodontic Department supports its fully accredited 24-month program. The graduate endodontic program provides a robust clinical experience in addition to a solid scientific foundation. The combination of our clinical and scientific experiences allows each resident to be fully prepared for a career in private practice or academia.

Our state-of-the-art clinic provides care to our diverse patient population. Each resident has a fully equipped cubicle, which includes a surgical operating microscope with video capabilities, wall mounted flat screen monitor, digital radiography, an ultrasonic unit, and various obturation materials. The residents also utilize GentleWave^® and EdgePro^® Laser technologies. Our broad patient base allows residents the opportunity to provide care to children, patients with special needs, patients who require general anesthesia, adults, and the elderly. Our ability to meld state of the art technology with such a diverse patient base allows our endodontic residents to have the breadth of experiences necessary for them to become the best clinician version of themselves.

While our endodontic residents benefit from an exceptional clinical experience, at the University of Pittsburgh, our residents are true clinician scientists. Our didactic curriculum provides a solid foundation for the required research component of the program. Every resident is required to participate in either a basic science or clinical science research project.  It is expected that all research projects will be presented at the American Association of Endodontics Annual Meeting and published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Our ability to provide the best clinical care for our patients and produce the best clinician scientists makes the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine Endodontic Program unique.
