Course Objective

The aim is to raise awareness of the definition and history of endodontics, to familiarize students with the anatomy, physiology, histology, and pathology of the root canal system and periapical tissue, to provide detailed information on the principles of endodontic access cavity opening, instruments used in endodontics, pulp embryology, histology, physiology, degeneration, and pathology, and to provide theoretical information on diagnostic methods used to make root canal treatment decisions and vital pulp treatments.

Practical Content: Preclinical training aims to teach access cavities in all dental groups.
