Objectives

- To learn how to perform endodontic jobs on monoradicular and multiradicular teeth.
- To control treatments performed during the previous year, as a means to monitor the success rate of the controlled treatments.
- To acquire knowledge and training on bibliographical research.

Program

- Performance of endodontic jobs (treatments) on patients with a growing degree of difficulty; the teeth to undergo treatment shall be selected so that students start with simple cases and then move on to more difficult cases.
- Control of treatments performed during the previous academic year.
- Each student shall submit a research work on a previously selected subject.
