Aims

The overall aim of this course is to improve the quality and predictability of endodontic treatment in general dental practice. A specific aim is to increase learners’ skills in modern endodontic preparation and obturation.

Objectives

1. To discuss diagnosis, treatment planning, and decision making in endodontics, and to recognise the importance of radiographs in endodontics.

2. To practise hand and rotary preparation with contemporary nickel titanium systems

3. To practise filling the root canal using cold and warm gutta-percha techniques

4. To review (i) the restoration of a tooth following endodontic treatment. (ii) prognosis and follow up (iii) discuss single versus multiple visits

5. To consider the factors that significantly impact endodontic success rates.

6. To evaluate the use of modern preparation techniques.

7. To evaluate the types of modern obturation techniques.

Learning outcomes

Following this course learners should be able to:

1. Assess and evaluate whether a tooth can be root treated and restored, so as to increase endodontic success.

2. Effectively prepare root canals for obturation, and relate theory and practice so as to improve predictability of clinical treatment and outcomes when saving the tooth with root treatment.

3. Practise obturation of root canals, and relate theory and practice so as to improve predictability of clinical treatment and outcomes in endodontic treatment.

4. Evaluate the clinical risk when deciding whether endodontics is appropriate or not
