POSTGRADUATE
ENDODONTICS
The structure of
the postdoctoral program in Endodontics at the University of Medicine
and Dentistry of New Jersey Dental School is based on guidelines recommended
by the American Association of Endodontists and approved by the Commission
on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association.
Goals
- Select well-qualified applicants who are interested in Advanced Education
in Endodontics.
- Train postdoctoral students to become highly skilled and biologically
oriented diagnosticians and clinicians who will practice, teach and/or
carry out research in the areas related to disease and therapy of the
dental pulp and periapicular tissues, and the associated areas of oral
disease.
- Recruit board certified or board eligible faculty members who have
a strong interest or established track record in research to enrich
the scope of the program.
The program consists
of four major components: didactic, clinical, research and teaching.
Didactic Instruction
Twenty-three percent of the program is allocated to didactic instruction, which includes the Core Curriculum (Foundation of Oral Biology and Advance Biomedical Science for Dentistry), Biology of the Dental Pulp, Biological Aspects of Endodontics, Inflammation and Wound Healing, Selected Topics in Endodontics, Current Literature Review in Endontology, and Textbook Reviews. Faculty members from other institutions as well as private practioners are invited to the New Jersey Dental School as guest lecturers.
Clinical Instruction
Sixty percent of the program is devoted to clinical instruction which
includes Advanced Clinical Endodontics, Surgical Endodontics, Operating
Room Endodontics, Emergency Endodontic Clinical Procedures and Clinical
Case Review Seminar. Residents are taught the most advanced treatment
techniques in both conventional and surgical Endodontics.
Research
Research comprises ten percent of the program. All residents must complete
a research project and prepare a manuscript suitable for publication to
meet the graduation requirement. Research opportunities are available
at the dental school.
Teaching
Teaching comprises seven percent of the program. Residents teach in
the predoctoral endodontic laboratory course and in the predoctoral endodontic
clinics.
The length of the
program is two full calendar years (24 months) for a certificate. The
program does not offer a part-time residency. All residents pay tuition
according to the rules and regulations of the Advanced Specialty Dental
Education Programs of New Jersey Dental School.
The postgraduate
program in Endodontics at the New Jersey Dental School is well organized
and designed to accomplish the objectives of the four major components
of the program. It has full accreditation status from the Commission on
Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association.
