Most U.S. endodontic programs incorporate dental implant training, with most directors favoring didactic over clinical instruction. Directors still prioritize saving natural teeth over implants for questionable prognoses.

Area of Science:

  • Dental education
  • Endodontics
  • Implant dentistry

Background:

  • Dental implantology is increasingly integrated into general dentistry.
  • Postdoctoral endodontic training programs must adapt their curricula to reflect evolving dental practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey U.S. postdoctoral endodontic program directors on their views regarding dental implant integration into endodontic curricula.
  • To assess current attitudes and approaches to implant training within endodontic residency programs.

Main Methods:

  • A 20-item online survey was distributed to all 52 U.S. postdoctoral endodontic program directors.
  • A 100% response rate was achieved, providing comprehensive data on program director perspectives.

Main Results:

  • 78.6% of program directors agreed that dental implant training should be part of the endodontic curriculum.
  • 85.7% preferred a didactic approach, while 42.9% favored clinical implant training.
  • 100% preferred apical surgery and retreatment over implants when plausible; 53.8% did not favor implants for teeth with questionable prognoses.

Conclusions:

  • Implant training is currently integrated into U.S. postdoctoral endodontic programs, meeting Commission on Dental Accreditation standards.
  • Future trends may involve more hands-on clinical implant placement training if program directors perceive a greater need.
