| Summary | The aim of this course is to explore sub-specialities of dentistry that support the delivery of endodontic care. |
| Course description |
In many cases, advanced endodontics is provided only after the stabilisation phase of treatment for patients. In order to synthesise holistic treatment plans, an endodontist must have sound knowledge of other subspecialties directly linked to it. This knowledge and understanding is critical in the development of a specialist in the field of endodontics.
This course will review key areas within these fields including:
Prosthodontics: Restoration of the root filled tooth, replacement of teeth following failed endodontic treatment including fixed and removable prosthodontic solutions
Periodontics: Management of perio-endo lesions, surgical crown lengthening, root amputation procedures, outcomes in periodontal treatment.
Orthodontics: Endodontic-Orthodontic interface
Students will also be asked to prepare material in advance and present some cases to discuss via short presentations. Emphasis will be placed on students taking responsibility of exploring broader areas around the course themes as applied to clinical care.
