About Study Course

Objective

To provide for the acquisition of evidence-based knowledge in pathology, diagnostics and treatment planning of endodontic diseases. To provide knowledge about the relevance of endodontic diseases to pediatric dentistry.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.To obtain evidence-based knowledge in the pathology, diagnostics, prevention, and treatment planning of endodontic diseases. To ensure knowledge of the relevance of endodontic diseases to paediatric dentistry. To provide knowledge about scientific methodology and critical literature assessment.

Skills

1.To be able to choose appropriate medication and treatment options in each clinical case when direct pulp capping is necessary. To be able to assess a prognosis of the tooth and retreatment options for teeth filled with gutta-percha, and to be able to treat them. To be able to perform apexification under microscopic control in endodontically treated teeth with unformed root growth and development.

Competences

1.To obtain integrated treatment planning and clinical skills, relevant to other sectors of dentistry.
