  Introduction

  The program is designed to satisfy in 24 (total) months the educational requirements for certification of eligibility for limitation of practice in endodontics, and examination by the American Board of Endodontics.

  It conforms with the Guidelines for Advanced Study in Endodontics prepared by the American Board of Endodontics, the Education Committee of the American Association of Endodontists, and the Council on Dental Education of the American Dental Association.

  The incoming class enters the last week of June every year.

  Goals and Learning Objectives

  Beyond the skills of a competent dentist, the student is expected to develop those skills and procedures consistent with the role of a specialist in endodontics. These include:

  • the ability to diagnose and treat all manifestations of pulpal and periapical disease in the context of sound health care and comprehensive dental therapy.
  • competency in all aspects of endodontic care: vital pulp therapy, regenerative endodontic procedures, management of traumatic dental injuries, non-surgical endodontic therapy, emergency care and surgical endodontic therapy—apicoectomy, root-end filling, root amputation and curettage.
  • thorough familiarity with the evidence basis of past and current literature pertaining to endodontics and understanding of research methods, so that future literature will form the basis for rational modification of concepts.

  In addition, students are expected to demonstrate the ability to define an endodontically related research problem, develop a research protocol, carry out the research and prepare a presentation of the project. Students also participate in undergraduate laboratory and clinical practice teaching.

• 听

  Certification

  A certificate in Endodontics and the degree of Master of Science will be granted by the University upon the satisfactory completion of all required courses and the research project.

  Required courses include:

  • Preclinical Endodontic
  • Head and Neck Anatomy
  • Oral Pathology
  • Endodontology
  • Research Methodology/Biostatistics
  • Microbiology-Immunology

  Research Project

  Introduction

  One of the requirements for the successful completion of the endodontic program in the Graduate Department of Endodontics at the University of Detroit Mercy is that the resident initiate, conduct, complete and present an original research project, including a written article for submission to a professional journal. The basis for the requirement stems from the conviction that a research experience can, perhaps better than any other learning experience, develop and/or refine habits of critical thinking and reading. It is difficult to imagine a more appropriate goal for education at any level.

  The Research Project

  The research topic must be one that can be formulated in terms of a research hypothesis and one that is amenable to systematic and scientific investigation, including statistical evaluation of the data. Also, the project should be one that can be completed during your two year program. All research topics must be approved by the Director of Graduate Education and the Program Director at the outset.

  Project Advisor and Review Committee

  In carrying out the research project there are several people who will be available for advice and assistance. These include the Director of Graduate Education, your Program Director, your Project Advisor, your Review Committee, and members of the faculty. At least two members of the committee must be members of the Detroit Mercy Dental Graduate Division Faculty. 

  The Project Advisor generally will be a faculty member of this institution or some affiliated institution, and is the person with whom you will work most closely in terms of advice and guidance throughout the project. In most instances you may select the individual who will serve as your Project Advisor.

  The Research Committee will usually consist of a minimum of three persons: the Director of Graduate Endodontics, Project Advisor, and additional qualified persons from a different Division serving on the Review Committee.

  Hearings

  At least two research committee meetings will be held. One meeting will be held soon after you have established your research design. It is at this time that any questions, confusions or apprehensions concerning the research, either on the part of the Review Committee or yourself, should be fully aired. Intermittent meetings are scheduled to evaluate progress of the project.

  The final meeting will be held after the research project is completed and after each member of the Review Committee has received a typewritten copy of the final version of your research report. An oral presentation of the research findings is also given by the resident.  If, for any reason, either you or any member of your Review Committee should wish to convene the Committee for an additional hearing, such requests simply may be relayed to the Project Advisor who will make the appropriate arrangements. The recommendations of the Committee are given to the student immediately following the hearing, who is then responsible for implementing these recommendations.

  The Research Paper

  The University of Detroit Mercy Department of Endodontics no longer requires the traditional thesis as the written report of your research. In place of the thesis, the Department requires that the written report take the form of an article in suitable form for submission to a professional journal.

  Journal Submission

  The journal to which you submit your research is decided according to the research committee.  The format and style of the manuscript will adhere to the submission guidelines employed by that particular journal.  The written manuscript will simply follow the format utilized by most professional journals in reporting research results, that is:

  • Introduction,
  • Review of the Literature,
  • Methods and Materials,
  • Results, Discussion,
  • Summary and Conclusions,
  • and References.

  The Director of Graduate Education and your Project Advisor will work closely with you during this phase of your project.

  Timelines

  By the completion of course DEN 5900 (Basic Research Methods), each resident will have developed a written research proposal. The proposal will include the problem statement, purpose and background literature review. During this semester, the project advisor and review committee will be determined and provide appropriate input.

  By the completion of the course DEN 5910 (Biostatistics), each resident will have developed the written research protocol. The protocol will include the introduction, purpose, methods and materials, and statistical analysis in the format of the referred journal to which the article will be submitted. The research protocol will then be reviewed/approved by the review committee.

  It is anticipated that the experimentation and data collection will be conducted during the summer between the first and second years. By the completion of the second year Fall Term, all data will be collected, analyzed and the written article developed.

  The project will be presented multiple times during the final semester and the written manuscript submitted for publication.
