Department of Endodontics

The Department of Endodontics at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry has a unique history. Started by the innovative and nationally renowned Dr. Charles G. Maurice in 1965, the department also was chaired for many years by Dr. Nijole A. Remeikis, the first woman Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics and an internationally honored endodontic educator. The department in the 1990s offered the first Endodontic Microscopy Center in the Midwest, providing a unique level of training to students and continuing education opportunities to alumni and others.

The Department of Endodontics aspires to be one of the top clinical endodontic training programs in the world, while at the same time actively engaging our residents in important clinical and translational research.

Our current group of full-time and part-time clinical faculty is one of the strongest in the country. We are also very fortunate to have established ongoing collaborative arrangements with top-notch biomedical research scientists.
