Endodontics

About this course

This pathway starts with pulp biology and diagnosis, then follows the stages of root canal treatment, complications and outcome assessment. Topics are organised so that each clinical decision can be reviewed in the context of the steps before and after it.

Topics include: Pulpal and periapical diagnosis and treatment planning; Canal anatomy, access and working length; Shaping, irrigation and obturation; Vital pulp therapy, open apices and regenerative treatment; Trauma, cracks, resorption and procedural complications; Retreatment, apical surgery and outcome assessment.

The current pathway contains 10 learning modules, 33 sections and 165 lessons, combining text lessons and practice questions. It is designed for dental students and dentists seeking an organised sequence for study and revision.
