Delivery

Campus Taught

This part-time, 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 there’s 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

Why study with us

Delivered by experienced clinicians and educators, the programme includes four days of supervised clinical training.
You’ll study at a university that is well known as a provider of high-quality clinical training and education with state-of-the-art teaching facilities.
We work in conjunction with governing dental bodies, ensuring that the curriculum facilitates the development of transferable skills, which you can apply to your clinical practice.

Module overview

Course delivery

Following the pandemic, we have found that some courses benefit from a blended learning and teaching approach. Therefore, the majority of your teaching will be face-to-face on campus aside from a small amount of online teaching where we have learnt it works best.

You’ll start with plenary lectures and practical sessions in our state-of-the-art phantom head facility, working on a pig’s head and similar systems. You’ll then progress to treating live patients, under close supervision in our Dental Clinic, and be assessed by Direct Observations of Procedural Skills (DOPS).

You and your group will prepare and lead the academic aspect of the course with presentations, directed reading and case-based discussions.

Modules DX4017 and DX4027 are delivered and assessed online. Clinical modules, DX4050 and DX4059 are assessed through a blend of course work, written and practical assessments, including direct observations whilst treating patients, and seen and unseen clinical case assessments.

Assessments focus on your higher level skills of diagnosis and planning, rather than simply remembering facts. Typical assessments include analysis of given clinical cases, case presentations, practical tests, written examinations and critical essays.
