Students enhance their clinical skills by managing patients with endodontic problems on an increasingly independent basis. Conservative orthograde endodontic therapy is the treatment of choice; however, students are encouraged to observe the surgical management of endodontic lesions. Students should develop an appreciation of the varying degrees of difficulty associated with endodontic procedures, and an understanding of their own limitations in certain cases. The ability to review the literature critically and evaluate objectively new concepts and techniques should enter into their decision making. Lastly, the need for self-evaluation and continuing education is stressed. Weekly hours: 1 Lecture hours and 3 Clinical Service hours
