Program Description:
We believe that every person has the right to be healthy and that all healthcare professionals should feel responsible for providing, preserving, and promoting the health of all members of the community. We believe that specialists in this field of dentistry—endodontists—can play a significant role in preserving teeth and promoting community health by learning preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic techniques for pulpal and periapical diseases and using the best equipment, materials, and innovative techniques. We also believe that the best services can be provided by adopting a community-oriented approach, considering community needs, and relying on effective practical and communication skills..
In accordance with the 10-Year Prospects Document through 2025, we aim to train knowledgeable and competent specialists in prevention and treatment. By expanding the boundaries of knowledge in endodontics, we also aim to attain a leading position in the region and significantly reduce the number of teeth extracted for endodontic reasons..
The mission of this field is to train specialist human resources according to global standards and national needs. Graduates will be able to provide high-quality preventive and therapeutic services, teach in dental schools throughout the country, conduct research, and expand the boundaries of knowledge..
