Best GPR/AEGD for Endo

[C8H10N402]

Hello! Does anyone have recommendations for GPR/AEGD programs to check out that would be a good prerequisite for applying to Endo residency after?

Thank you!

Based on what I have seen, if there is a program you specifically want to go to for endo after, you may want to pursue their GPR/AEGD so you can make connections to gain acceptance there. As for programs that will do a lot of endo, I would look into schools that have no endo residencies since that will allow for you to get more endo cases from the dental school students. Hopefully this is helpful.

I will put a pitch my residency, again.

Kings County has an amazing endodontic attending as well as an abundant pool for endodontic cases. You will do many cases. You will perform both nonsurgical and surgical retreatments, as well as many initial RCTs as you want. But be forewarned, you will work. You will sleep in the hospital and take any dentoalveolar as well as maxillofacial trauma that comes in, and you will work alongside OMFS residents. You will wake up throughout the night to work on patients who have been been beat by metal chains to the face or have had numerous teeth shattered by a curb stomp, then round in the morning with the surgical residents only to see your own patients the morning after. It's one hell of a neighborhood in Brooklyn and being a level 1 trauma hospital, the worst cases get shuffled from the surrounding area over to the OMFS and GPR team.

That said, you will have clinical experiences that most dentists outside OMFS don't get. You will see many interdisciplinary cases of trauma and pathology that involve endodontic treatment, and the surgical skills you gain will carry on with you in the future. Many of us who went through the residency have ended up in OMFS and endodontic training after.

Montefiore has an endo fellowship, but I think it may be a PGY-2 position meaning that you probably have to do a GPR beforehand. I could be wrong though

Denver Health for sure has the best endo opportunities as a GPR program one of the attendings is a endodontist. but they dont do implants so

Not what I’ve heard from their residents. I also rotated there during dental school. Almost all endos are two appointments and usually a different resident finishes the case.

I am currently a D2 interested in doing endo. Would you say Denver Health is not worth it then? Thank you!

I know a number of people who have gone through that residency and not a single one was happy with their endo experience. Very few are even happy with their overall experience at that residency. Hearing their experiences, I would not recommend it.

San Diego VA. They have tons of previous residents go on to Endo residency
They do 70-80+ RCTs.
