Course website COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is the first clinical endodontic course, which the students take after didactic and preclinical training in endodontics. The scope of the course includes preparing the students to be able to understand, recognize, diagnose and successfully treat pulpally involved or potentially pulpally involved teeth. Important fundamentals are stressed with emphasis on the correlation between basic clinical and biological principles. The course includes: a. Classroom lecture series, which correlate between clinical and biological principles of endodontics. b. Clinical exercises to perform endodontic treatment for: 1. Three (3) single canaled anterior teeth (bicuspids or incisors) 2. Two (2) premolars teeth (at least one bicanaled premolar) 3. One (1) upper or lower molar. c. Along the course, the lecture time will precede the clinical session. COURSE OBJECTIVES Based on the content of the lecture series, required test and the recommended reading material, this course is expected to: 1. Prepare the student to demonstrate a mastery of performing the basic and the fundamental procedures in the field of endodontics, regardless of his future professional plans or areas of clinical interest. 2. Prepare the student who can evaluate his own clinical competency and know the extent of his diagnosis and operative capabilities therefore, he will not be hesitant in seeking the counsel of specialist or a colleague. 7 3. Prepare the student who must demonstrate the mastery of recognizing the different levels of sophistication and complexity of endodontic cases that his patients present. 4. Prepare the student who must demonstrate the ability to state the theoretical and biological principles of every endodontic clinical procedure. 5. Prepare the student who must demonstrate a mastery of the dental materials and instruments used in endodontics. 6. Prepare the student who must demonstrate a mastery of tooth morphology.

In order to carry out this goal, clinical (5th year) Endodontic students will be evaluated by his/her performance on: Student evaluation: Student performance in the course will be evaluated as follow: 8 Continuous Assessment Final Examination Marks Marks 1. 2 module Exams 10 1. Written Exam 80 2. 2 module Exams 10 2. Oral Exam 20 3. Midyear Exam 20 3. Practical Exam. 20 4. Clinical Requirements 40 80 120 T O T A L T O T A L Clinic Grading Cards The endodontic sheet form will only be utilized to record the student’s activity in clinic. The student should make appropriate diagnosis, entries for tooth, working length determination, cleaning and shaping of root canal (s) using step back instrumentation technique, root canal obturation technique using lateral gutta-percha obturation technique. All procedure grades will be recorded on the “Endodontic Clinical Evaluation Card”. The evaluation letter (‘A*, A , B*, B, C*, C- ,D*,D and E which is unacceptable) will be marked by the faculty staff. Evaluation form for every student is available with instructor every clinical session. The endodontic sheet for the clinical finished cases of student will be collected by the instructor, submitted to course director and kept in the Endodontic office. 2 module exams: Written first quiz will performed at the end of each lectures module, covering all the teaching materials up to this time. The question will be in form of MCQ, definitions or complete. Midyear Exam: Written midyear exam will performed at the end of the first term, covering all the teaching materials up to this time. The question will be in form of MCQ, definitions or complete, and assay. 2 module exams: Written second quiz will performed at the end of each lectures module of the second term covering all the teaching materials up to this time. The question will be in form of MCQ, definitions or complete. Final Exam: o Final (Written) Exam The Final Exam will cover all materials in the course. Test questions on the first quiz, Midyear, second quiz and Final examination will come from information found in the Lecture Outlines, Supplemental Reading 9 List, Lecture Presentations, and any other handouts provided during the progression of the course. o Data show Exam After the written exam, the students will be examined orally in the covering material during course. The exam will be performed in form of station, managing problem or other material discussed in the previous course using slide data show to keep the standardization of evaluation between student (males and females). Evaluation of final The final course grade will be determined by sum of the numerical grades of clinical requirement, first quiz, midyear exam, second quiz and Final Examinations. Grading Scale: 85 to 100 = A 65 to 74 = C 75 to 84 = B 64 to 60 = D Below 60 = F Grading policy: Attendance: Attendance is mandatory for all lectures and clinical sessions. Exceeding the maximum permissible absences might lead to your deprivement from attending the final exams. Unexcused absences from written exams will result in marks being deducted from your final grade. Deadline for requirements completion: The deadline for completing the clinical requirements is the last day of the course as published by the Office of the Associate Dean for Education. Failure to complete the class assignments by the specified deadlines will result in reduction in the clinical requirement's marks relative to the number of the deficient requirement, which will undoubtedly affects the final overall student score.
