Overview

The twenty-six month Master of Science in Endodontics program is designed to prepare the student for all aspects of the practice of endodontics. The clinical program is modeled on a private practice, state-of-the-art facility. The didactic program prepares the resident for a career in endodontics which includes practice, teaching, and/or research. The program is fully accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). Our core belief is that a strong evidence-based scientific background prepares our residents for the challenges of the current practice environment and Diplomate status reflects the commitment to our chosen profession.

The master's thesis project is designed to obtain results suitable for publication in a reputable dental journal. The ability to read and understand past and current literature is critical to keeping abreast of the latest advances.

Graduates of the program from West Virginia University will be well prepared to successfully pass the examination conducted by the American Board of Endodontics that leads to Board certification and status of Diplomate, American Board of Endodontics. It is a requirement for every second year resident to take the written component of the ABE and all endodontic residents are encouraged to complete the board certification process.
