About

Following Dr. Baumgartner's retirement July 1, 2009 the search continues for a new Chairman of the Endodontic Department.  Our process of education continues in the Undergraduate and Graduate Programs.  Summer clinic sessions are limited to afternoons only beginning at 1:00PM until 4:00PM for the Undergraduate Dental Students.  The new first year Residents arrived July 1, 2009. They keep busy; along with orientation they have lectures in Basic Concepts in Endodontics, Advanced Clinical Techniques, Anatomy and Advanced Pain.  They are involved in seminars in Endo/Perio and Current Literature.  Dr. John Ingle and Dr. Olmstead were guest presenters.  The residents also attended Apices meeting in Seattle

Endodontics at OHSU School of Dentistry involves root canal treatment for patients by Undergraduate Dental Students and by the Graduate Residency Program.  Cases handled by undergraduate dental student involve root canal treatment only under the guidance of a Specialist in Endodontics in the Undergraduate Clinic.  The graduate residency program provides treatment for patients with more difficult cases.  Root canal therapy, retreatment of existing cases and surgical procedures, if necessary, are completed in the Graduate Program Clinic.
