Accreditation of the Endodontics Training Program in Riyadh
Thursday ,18 / September / 2025

Vision College in Riyadh has announced a new milestone added to its distinguished record, as it has officially received programmatic accreditation for its Endodontics training program in its educational clinics, granted by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) in October 2025. With this achievement, the number of accredited programs in the college’s educational clinics has increased to three advanced specialty programs, all contributing to the training of postgraduate students in vital fields that meet the needs of the Kingdom’s healthcare labour market.

The specialty of Endodontics is one of the most precise disciplines in dentistry, closely linked to preserving oral and dental health. It focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the dental pulp (nerve) and root canals. Among the most well-known procedures in this field is root canal treatment, commonly referred to as “nerve treatment,” which helps save natural teeth from extraction by cleaning, disinfecting, and securely filling the infected root canals—ensuring the tooth’s preservation for many years.

The new training program at Vision College in Riyadh is a specialized clinical program targeting Saudi dentists seeking to pursue postgraduate education and obtain advanced training in the field of Endodontics. The program is distinguished by the presence of a select group of highly qualified faculty members and healthcare practitioners who supervise the training of dentists in accordance with the latest professional and scientific standards. It also provides a fully integrated learning environment in university clinics equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and modern dental equipment.

This programmatic accreditation was granted following a comprehensive and rigorous evaluation carried out by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties, which included a thorough review of the infrastructure of the educational clinics, assessment of the academic and clinical staff, evaluation of program capacity, and assurance of the quality of both clinical training and academic curricula.

This achievement further strengthens the position of Vision College in Riyadh as one of the Kingdom’s leading educational and training centers, directly contributing to the realization of Saudi Vision 2030 by localizing medical expertise, advancing the healthcare education system, and preparing Saudi dental specialists capable of meeting the growing demands of the healthcare sector.The college emphasized that the accreditation of the Endodontics program is not only a qualitative leap in the development of its academic and training programs but also a significant step toward improving the quality of healthcare services provided to the community. By preparing highly skilled professionals capable of managing complex cases with efficiency and precision, this accreditation reflects the college’s ongoing commitment to quality, innovation, and academic excellence, as well as its mission to graduate a new generation of specialized dentists who represent a cornerstone in building a sustainable national healthcare system.
