Foundational Endodontics

Catalog description

The clinical lecture series in endodontics is designed to introduce the dental student to a multitude of endodontically-related conditions and their management. Dealing with pulpal and periapical pathoses and decision making based on tooth restorability will be an everyday practice throughout a dental career and the importance of making sound, ethical treatment choices, with best evidence, will be emphasized. The micro-circulatory system and mechanisms by which it is compromised will be presented, including microbiology, incomplete root development, periodontal relationships and the ability for pulp revascularization. Evaluation is by session quizzes and a final MCQ exam.
