Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to present clinical applications including endodontic emergency treatment, immunology of pulp and periapical diseases, acute and chronic periapical diseases, differential diagnosis of endodontic lesions, root resorption; classification of dental traumatic injures; endodontic microbiology, success and failure in endodontic treatment, apexogenesis, apexification and pulpotomy, endodontic treatment of dental anomalies, treatment complications during root canal treatment.

Course Content:

• To describe clinical classification, radiological and histological features of and periapical and periradicular diseases
• To underline the critical importance of endodontic microbiology and immunologic responponse to persistent infections
• To identify and discuss types, etiologial factors and treatment options of dental traumatic injures and root resorptions.
• To describe endodontic microbiology and pharmacology
