Overview
The Master of Dental Surgery in Endodontics [MDS(Endo)] is a taught postgraduate programme specially designed for dentists who wish to pursue advanced specialty training in endodontics. The programme aims to equip students with knowledge of relevant scientific literature, develop a scientific and logical approach to clinical problem-solving, critical appraisal of scientific papers, and develop advanced clinical skills in endodontics. A research project and dissertation will be required as well. The programme will provide a foundation for establishing an excellent clinical practice or as a stepping stone towards an academic career. Teaching is undertaken by experienced full- and part-time teachers of high calibre. Clinical training is done in the Multi-Specialty Clinic of the Institute for Advanced Dentistry, in a setting fully equipped with surgical operating microscopes and the latest armamentariums for root canal instrumentation, obturation and periradicular surgery. The programme emphasises sound knowledge and concepts of multidisciplinary management. The curriculum lasts a minimum of 36 months, full-time, and may include courses in other related disciplines.
At the end of the course, a graduate will be expected:
1. To assess a patient's general and oral health, and formulate a treatment plan, which might include components from other dental disciplines;
2. To be able to integrate theoretical and practical knowledge into clinical endodontic practice; To adopt an evidence-based approach to the management of primary and secondary (previously failed) endodontic treatment;
3. To perform complex clinical endodontic procedures to a high standard;
4. To acquire a sound knowledge and understanding of the dental devices and materials used;
5. To effectively manage patients requiring emergency endodontic care and patients with special needs;
6. To critically appraise the scientific literature and manufacturers' advertising claims;
7. To perform all of the endodontic non-surgical and surgical treatment procedures under the surgical operating microscope; and
8. To acquire a sound knowledge and understanding of various surgical periradicular treatment modalities and competently perform the surgical procedures when appropriate.
9. To develop fundamental skills to conduct a clinical or laboratory research project under supervision.
