Course Description
This is a one semester pre-clinical course during the 4th year second semester. It consists of didactic and laboratory components. The didactic component covers the theoretical aspects of Pulp Biology and Endodontic while the practical component covers the clinical aspects of root canal treatment on natural (extracted) and typodont teeth with simulated root canals. This course is designed to help the students understand the scope and indications of endodontics, develop a mental three-dimensional image on the internal tooth anatomy, and learn the biologic and mechanical principles of endodontics. Special emphasis will be directed towards reviewing dental anatomy and pulp biology. Description and classifications of endodontic instruments as related to their use and engineering design, as well as the theoretical and technical steps for access cavity designs, working length determination, cleaning and shaping and obturation, will be taught over the whole semester.
Main Objectives
The purpose of the course is to impart knowledge and skills in students to perform fundamental procedures in the field of endodontics with confidence in order to prepare them for the treatment of patients in clinical endodontics
