The program aims to provide students with the tools to critically analyze literature, adapt to changes in the profession, apply advanced endodontic techniques related to etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, and treatment of pulpoperiapical diseases, collaborate with other areas of dentistry for accurate global diagnosis (multidisciplinary work), conduct research, especially in endodontics and restoration of endodontically treated teeth, and review different pulp and pulpoperiapical entities, as well as therapeutic techniques, in patients where the student has directly participated in the decision-making process or has made the decisions or treatments. The Master's is accredited by the European Society of Endodontology (ESE). The program is designed to train dental professionals in the field of endodontics, enabling them to perform clinical practices, teach, or conduct research in endodontics. The program includes a theoretical module covering clinical endodontics, seminars on reviewing and analyzing classic and contemporary bibliographies, the relationship between endodontics and other specialized areas of dentistry, and the study of clinical endodontic cases involving other areas of specialization. More complex clinical cases, such as non-surgical root canal retreatment, endodontic microsurgery, intentional reimplantation, and reconstruction of endodontically treated teeth, are also covered.
