Aims

In terms of skills:
- To teach the etiology of endodontic pathologies, their diagnosis and their classification.
- To develop the objectives, the indications and the contra-indications of endodontic treatments, the techniques of root canal preparation and filling.
- At the end of theoretical and practical teaching, the student will be able to approach the clinical training course and to carry out simple endodontic treatments on patients.
- He will be able to make the diagnosis of various endodontical pathologies.

Main to be approached

- To describe and analyze step by step the operating sequence of an endodontic treatment from the access cavity to the root canal filling.
- To justify the choice of the techniques of preparation and filling.







- To discuss the etiology, the indications and contra- indications and the objectives of endodontic treatments.
- To describe the methods of diagnosis and the classification of endodontic pathologies.

Main themes

- Description of the anatomy of the root canal system and apical morphology.
- Description of the stages of an endodontic treatment: operative field, access cavity, determination of the working length, canal preparation, canal irrigation and medications, temporary fillings, canal filling....
- Description of the etiology, indications and contra-indications, of the objectives of endodontic treatments, the methods of diagnosis and the classification of endodontic pathologies
- Demonstration of the stages of an endodontic treatment by the supervisor
- Endodontic treatments of single and multi-rooted teeth will be carried out by the students with the simulator on natural teeth.
- Each stage of the operating sequence will be assessed by the supervisor and will be discussed with the student before going on to the next stage
