A fundamental corner stone in the management of any patient is a thorough dental examination, establishment of accurate diagnoses and formulation of evidence based treatment plans.
This course will explore all aspects of an oral health assessment including the following areas:
1. Completing an oral health assessment.
2. Special tests and investigations supplementing an oral health assessment.
3. Imaging techniques in Endodontology including Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
4. Assessment of the tooth requiring endodontic treatment.
5. Diagnosing a range of common endodontic and restorative problems.
6. Diagnosing and managing problems of non-odontogenic origin.
7. Discussion of a range of treatment options with a patient.
8. Formulating and implementing treatment plans.
Methods of delivery will involve weekly to fortnightly 2-3 hour discussion small tutorials/seminars, flipped lectures, problem based scenarios and case discussions.
