Course Prospective:‎
The scope of the course includes preparing the third year students to ‎understand, recognize, diagnose and successfully treat pulpally involved or ‎potentially involved teeth. Important fundamentals are stressed with emphasis ‎on the correlation between basic clinical and biological principles. The course ‎will have two main components:‎

‎1.‎ Classroom lecture series, which correlates clinical with biological ‎principles of endodontics.‎
‎ 2. Laboratory exercises to perform endodontic treatment on mounted ‎extracted human teeth.‎

Course Objectives:‎
Based on the content of the lecture series, laboratory exercises, and ‎recommended reading material, at the end of this course the student should be ‎able to:‎

‎1.‎ Demonstrate clear understanding of the morphology of the Root canal ‎anatomy.‎
‎2.‎ Understand the theoretical and biological principles of every ‎endodontic clinical procedure. ‎
‎3.‎ Carry out fundamental operative procedures in endodontics.‎
‎4.‎ Recognize the dental materials and instruments used in endodontics.‎
‎5.‎ Recognize and demonstrate the different levels of sophistication and ‎complexity of endodontic cases and able to make a decision of referral ‎when it is needed.‎
‎6.‎ ‎ Evaluate his/ her own clinical competency and know the extent of his ‎‎/her diagnosis, treatment planning and operative capabilities. ‎
