Welcome to the Department of Endodontics homepage.
Endodontics, one of the disciplines of dentistry, is a profession that has been rapidly changing and progressing in terms of research and clinical practice. Vital pulp therapies and conventional root canal treatments are the most frequently performed endodontic procedures in our department.
Dental caries cause infection in dental tissues if left untreated. Eventually, it spreads to the tissues around root. This common disease is known as apical periodontitis. Root canal therapy aims to eliminate infection and pain. In our department, research activities, pre- and post-graduate education and clinical applications are performed by experienced specialists. Department of endodontics is also a health service provider for the community.
Hacettepe University Department of Endodontics has been a separate science department since the Faculty was founded in 1971. We are proud to be the first endodontics department among all dental faculties in Turkey. In addition to its national leadership, our department has earned a place in the global scientific arena with its research background, scientific projects and participation in international scientific events and with its graduates taking part as trainers in prestigious educational institutions abroad.
