MSc Endodontology

This part-time, two-year postgraduate Endodontology course is for the busy dental practitioner who wants to combine home study with treating patients under the direct clinical supervision of experienced consultants and specialists.

The course has been designed in response to student feedback and has evolved from our successful three-year MSc.

Much of the academic delivery is online, so you can study from home, and small group sizes, usually 12 or less, means theres an informal and supportive learning environment.

This course will develop your skills in:

• Thorough case assessment and record taking
• Treatment planning and case selection
• Working under magnification
• Contemporary techniques for cleaning and shaping canals
• Irrigation and intracanal medication
• 3-dimensional obturation
• Restoration of the endodontically-treated tooth
• Non-surgical re-treatments
