General info on the master in Advanced Endodontics
This postgraduate program is tailored for dentists seeking to refine their daily clinical practice and gain the most up-to-date knowledge in Endodontics and beyond. Mastering complex endodontic cases—whether it’s a primary treatment or a retreatment—requires not only scientific grounding but also advanced clinical expertise. Our course bridges both.
What sets this program apart is our root-to-crown philosophy. Successful dental treatment doesn’t stop at a well-executed root canal; it demands a seamless restorative phase as well. This holistic approach empowers clinicians to assess, plan, and execute treatments that meet even the most demanding patient expectations.
Structured over two years, the program combines evidence-based education with intensive, hands-on workshops. The theoretical modules, delivered online, provide the scientific foundation necessary to make informed decisions in both Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry. In-person sessions, held in Siena, are designed to boost practical skills through clinical simulations that replicate real-world scenarios.
We understand the importance of balancing professional growth with a busy clinical schedule. Thanks to our digital learning environment, you can work, study, and evolve—without putting your career on hold. This flexible structure makes it possible to earn a prestigious postgraduate qualification from the University of Siena while continuing to practice.

You will earn a I level university master. Second cycle QF-EHEA / level 7° EQF (European Qualification Framework) in Italy. You can check how it will be recognised abroad through the ENIC NARI

How our agreement with the university works.
Dentalnecto has an agreement to co-organize the master’s program. We take care of looking for candidates through promotion agreements with external entities (e.g., Zerodonto). Then we collect the applications and handle the submissions and all communications with students related to the admission stages. We also collect the fees, and when we have all of them, we pay the university the tuition portion (usually in two installments, the due dates of which are determined by the university). The rest you pay is to cover our support throughout 2 and more years (from application to the certificate), our services mentioned above and all the management of theory classes that take place online through our remote support and through software managed by us. This also includes video recordings of the online meetings.
The amount disclosed on this site include everything, fees, services, and total figures (including two years of courses).
