SECTION I
MINIMUM CLINICAL EXPERIENCES AND GRADING
Description:
This section describes the typical minimum endodontic clinical experiences expected for
the third and forth years of pre-doctoral endo education and clinical requirements for graduation.
Rationale:
The Endodontic requirements for graduation are provided so that the student may allot
his/her time appropriately throughout the two years of providing clinical endodontic care to
patients as a pre-doctoral student.
A.
B.
Each student is required to complete a required minimum of twelve (12) endodontic canals,
all of which are treated to a clinically acceptable level and adhere to basic objectives of
root canal therapy. Students are encouraged to treat more than the minimal number of
cases required to meet and exceed the 12 canal minimum. A tooth or case initially assigned
a given number of canals is not assured of that number of canals. Clinically canals must be
treated to an acceptable level for full credit.
