Course Description:
A clinical course where the student is
required to complete endodontic treatment of anterior, premolar,
and molar teeth. In addition to nonsurgical treatment of several
endodontic cases, the student assists with an endodontic
surgery.
Educational Objectives:
The student will gain knowledge and experience
of endodontic treatment. The objectives are for the student to
be able to (1) differentiate between signs and symptoms caused
by pulpal or periapical pathosis and those caused by other forms
of orofacial pathosis, (2) determine the cause of pulpal or
periapical pathosis, select and carry out appropriate treatment,
and estimate the prognosis, (3) complete, at a clinically
acceptable level, those clinical procedures which are consistent
with her/his experience level, (4) identify those factors which
affect the complexity of treatment in each endodontic case and
distinguish between those cases which are within her/his ability
to manage effectively and those which should be referred to
practitioners who can more appropriately provide for the care of
the patient, and (5) accurately critique completed clinical
procedures. |
