Endodontics Program

ENDO D9200 Theory and Practice of Endodontics

• This course provides theoretical and practical baseline for the student. Guest lecturers will speak on current developments in the field of endodontics or related disciplines.

ENDO D9204 Anatomy and Technique of Endodontics

• This course is given as an introduction to the endodontics courses and clinic. It deals with the anatomy, especially the inner anatomy, of teeth. It is a two-part course: one part is didactic and the other involves practical exercises in extracted teeth. The didactic portion is a review of the literature regarding dental anatomy and access preparation.

ENDO D9205 Advanced Clinical Endodontics

• A series of seminars are designed to give the student an understanding of how to apply endodontic knowledge in a clinical practice environment.

ENDO D9206 Clinical Practice of Endodontics

• This course consists of clinical sessions providing supervised clinical experience in all phases of operative endodontics. Instruction and experience in teaching predoctoral clinical endodontics are included.

ENDO D9210 Review of Endodontic Literature

• This course is divided into three parts: classic literature review, current literature review, and textbook reviews. The literature is studied topic by topic.

ENDO D9211 Student Review of Current Literature

• The student is responsible for reading and presenting the assigned articles from the Journal of Endodontics and International Endodontic Journal. When necessary, other journals will also be used. The students must be prepared to discuss any articles scheduled for each seminar and present a written summary and critique of the articles they review in the seminars.

ENDO D9214 Pain Seminars

• Endodontists seek to relieve patients from pain. Occasionally, the treatment can cause post-operative pain. In addition, the patient should be given optimal pain relief during procedures. Therefore, it is imperative to provide the postgraduate endodontics students with an in-depth knowledge of endodontically-related pain and a deep understanding of pains of other origins.

ENDO D9216 Pulp Biology

• The pulp biology seminars are a review of the literature dealing specifically with the dental pulp and the pulp-dentin complex. The seminars involve students’ reading and presenting articles or book chapters, researching topics and presenting these to the class. The seminar series ends with a written examination.

ENDO D9218 Surgical Endodontics

• This course consists of a series of seminars designed to cover the theory of endodontic microsurgery and practical skills regarding microsurgical techniques and clinical sessions to perform endodontic microsurgery.

ENDO D9221 Endodontic Research

• The students are required to be involved in clinical or experimental research projects during the postdoctoral program. The results of their projects will be submitted to American Association of Endodontists (AAE) for presentations to the annual AAE meeting. Manuscripts will be prepared for the publications in the endodontic journals.

ENDO D9231 Comprehensive Endodontic Presentation

• The student delivers evidence-based presentations on a topic assigned by the program director. The presentation is followed by critical review of the literature presented.

• The student delivers evidence-based presentations on a topic assigned by the program director. The presentation is followed by critical review of the literature presented.

ENDO D9235 Legal Aspects of Endodontic Practice

• This course teaches the graduating endodontist how to navigate the narrow ethical path between the ADA Code of Ethics, #4C, that states “Patients should be informed of their present oral health status without disparaging comments about prior services”, and the next sentence that states, “When informing patients of the status of their oral health, the dentist should exercise care that his comments are truthful, informed, and justifiable”. These seemingly contradictory tenets will be explored, citing actual malpractice cases that have been adjudicated.
