Program Description: 

We believe it is the right of every human being to be healthy and all the medical personnel should feel responsible for the provision, preservation and promotion of the health of all the community members. We believe the specialists in this branch of dentistry (endodontists) will be able, through learning the preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques of the pulp and periapical diseases and through the use of the best equipment, materials and novel techniques, to play a great role in preserving teeth and promoting the health of all the members of the community. We also believe it is possible to render the best services to the community by adopting community-oriented attitudes by considering the needs of the community and by relying on effective practical-communicative skills.

By considering the 10-year Prospects Document up to 2025, we aim to train knowledgeable and efficient specialists in the fields of prevention and treatment and also aim, through expanding the boundaries of knowledge in endodontics, to achieve a prominent position in this region and to significantly decrease the number of teeth extracted for endodontic reasons

The mission of this field is to train the specialist human resources based on global standards and based on the needs of the country. The graduates will be able to offer the best preventive-therapeutic services and will be able to teach in dental faculties all over the country to develop research activities and expand the boundaries of knowledge.
