This is the first course of the clinical component of the program. It is held during the second semester of the graduate program’s first year after the completion of the clinical skill in the Endodontics course. The course consists of clinical patient management and treatment plan sessions under the guidance of clinical instructors.

In the first year of the program, students are closely supervised during all endodontic clinical procedures while developing skills in diagnosis, radiographic technique, treatment planning, root canal therapy, and emergency endodontics using classical and contemporary methods of treatment. By the end of this course, students should be conversant in performing diagnoses; formulating treatment plans, and management of cases with minimum and moderate difficulty levels. Students should maintain the records of all treated clinical cases for the portfolio to be submitted at the end of the clinical practice component of the program.
