Why Endodontics?

Endodontic service is in massive demand in the UK and globally with longer life spans and retention of teeth. Diseases afflicting the dental pulp and periradicular tissues are endemic and by virtue of their location and size, demand special knowledge and skills to manage them. Development of the necessary integrated knowledge and skills is a complex and challenging process, requiring effective mentoring, guidance and coaching in cognitive, technical and clinical skills.

Why Eastman?

UCL Eastman Endodontic programmes are highly sought after and internationally renowned for their rigour and outcomes. The speciality training programme is currently the only one accredited by the European Society of Endodontology.

The programmes have constantly evolved since they began in 1989, with the addition of a dedicated clinic, skills laboratory and nurse team. They have a balanced integration of cognitive, technical and clinical skills development, with mentored, supervised clinical exposure taking up about 50% of the time.

Feedback on teaching is always high, as evidenced by student testimonies. The outcome is rewarding, not just in terms of personal growth but also in the ability to alleviate patient problems with confidence. Our graduates are sought after, secure work placements, and many go on to teach their art and science.
