In addition, they will be trained to manage endodontic emergencies; traumatic injuries.
The Course Components:
Lecture and Clinical components, where the students have to recognize, diagnose and treat pulpally involved teeth and to relate endodontic to various dental disciplines.

1. Develop a systematic approach to diagnosis endodontic pain by organizing clinical findings, symptoms and pain history.
2. Clinically record the status of the pulpal and periapical tissue through clinical and radiographic examinations.
3. Utilize endodontic tests to determine pulp vitality.
4. Establish a differential diagnosis of odontogenic and non-odontogenic pain.
5. Establish a differential diagnosis between endodontic and periodontal disease.
6. Be familiar with major pulpal and periapical pathology and their sign and symptoms.
7. Plan and deliver routine non-surgical endodontic treatment to patients with pulpal and periapical disease.
8. Select or differentiate cases for treatment or referral based on knowledge, experience and ability.
9. Determine the prognosis of the treated tooth
10. Recognize the need for endodontic surgery in appropriate cases.
11. Identify the need for adjunctive procedures subsequent to endodontic therapy.
12. Plan and refer case for appropriate restoration.
13. Recall treated patients, and be aware of the value of post-operative follow-up (recall), and continuing prognosis.
14. Diagnose, evaluate and perform retreatment on suitable cases.
15. Be exposed to trauma cases, emergency cases, endo-perio cases, bleaching and preventive therapy cases.
16. Exposure to new endodontic technologies; such as apex locators, rotary instrumentation, innovations in irrigation, and contemporary obturation techniques.
