Principles of Endodontics

This module is designed as a foundation to meet the learning needs of general dental practitioners who wish to enhance their clinical skills in Endodontics and offer their patients an extended range of treatment options. Students will be taught through a variety of teaching methods and participate in lectures, tutorials, webinars, hands on workshops, online forums and self-directed learning.

Students will receive support to think creatively and independently, to solve problems, to exercise judgment, and to communicate clearly and effectively with patients and colleagues.

  • To deliver appropriate holistic treatment care planning.
  • To apply the assessment, diagnostic and case management skills essential for the successful management of endodontic cases.

Course structure
