PEND 810 - Classic Endodontic Literature Review

Cr Hrs: 4 (64-0-0)
Continuous weekly seminars devoted to review of classic endodontic and related literature and discussion of research methods. For each topic, a series of textbook chapters and review articles have been identified. This background information is meant to give the student an overview understanding of the topic. Selected classic and contemporary articles in a particular topic are assigned, carefully reviewed, analyzed, abstracted and presented to fellow students. During the first week of the program, there is a particular emphasis on student learning to critically read and evaluate articles and assess their scientific and/or clinical contribution supporting endodontic principles and practice. Throughout the remainder of the training program, every effort is made to integrate the present and future status of the specialty of endodontics with a sound understanding of its historical background. Resident’s recall and perspective are assessed as they relate classic and new literature to the evolving clinical practice of the specialty. The scope and effectiveness of the post-graduate student’s instruction in this area is thorough.
