This course is designed to provide students with knowledge and skills in the dental discipline of Endodontics. Endodontic is the branch of dentistry that is concerned with the morphology, physiology and pathology of the dental pulp and the per radicular tissues. Its study and practice encompass the basic clinical sciences including the biology of the normal pulp, and the aetiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and injuries of the pulp and the associated periradicular conditions. Endodontic management of a patient must be conducted in the context of a concern for the patient's total oral and general health. Students will continue with this discipline as part of Clinical Dentistry in BDS 5 in a more integrated manner for the wholistic treatment of a dental patient.
