Course content
Content of endodontics provides basic knowledge in the field of endodontics. Student will be apprize with content of field, topography of pulp cavity, histology and physiology of dental pulp and with pulp-periodontal complex. Workplace equipment, instruments and devices for root canal treatment, techniques and methods of root canal shaping and disinfection, temporary filling and permament root canal filling is discussed (theoretically and practically on root canal models). Theory also includes caries near the pulp and caries penetrating into the pulp, reversible and irreversible conditions of the pulp, pulp inflammation, issue of infected root canal, apical periodontium inflammation and acute conditions in endodontics. Student is taught algorithm of examination and treatment options, rudiments of postendodontics and secondary endodontics. Endodontics in temporary teeth, treatment procedure of exposed pulp in undeveloped permanent teeth, apexification, indications of surgery additional endodontic procedures and indications of extractions of permanent undeveloped teeth. Finally, practical diagnostical and therapeutical procedures used in endodontics will be demonstrated on patients.

Learning outcomes
The content of the subject is to acquire basic knowledge and skills in the field of endodontics. The students will be acquainted with the content of the discipline, pulp chamber topography, histology and physiology of the dental pulp and pulp-periodontal organ. Furthermore, during the trainings the students will be acquainted with the endodontic equipment, instruments and devices for root canal treatment, techniques and methods of root canal shaping, disinfectants, temporary filling in endodontics as well as filling of root canals (theoretically and practically on root canal models). Theoretically, the issue of caries near the pulp, caries penetrating into the pulp as well as reversible and irreversible diseases of the dental pulp is discussed. The students will be theoretically acquainted with the issue of inflammation of dental pulp, infected root canal, inflammation of the apical periodontitis, acute conditions and complications in endodontics as well as use of magnifying tools (magnifying glasses, surgical microscope). The students will learn the examination algorithm and treatment options, basic principles of postendodontic treatment as well as root canal retreatment. The students will also receive the information about endodontics in temporary dentition, treatment procedure of exposed dental pulp in permanent immature teeth, apexification, revitalization of immature teeth as well as indications of surgical endodontics and extraction of permanent immature teeth. In the final practical trainings the tutor will demonstrate the diagnostic and practical procedures used in endodontics, including X-ray techniques and local anesthesia on the patients.
Student will obtain knowledge of topography of pulp cavity and root canals, physiology of dental pulp and of methods of biological treatment od pulp. Pathological changes of the pulp, fysiology and patology of periapical space will be discussed. Important part of the subject are methods of diagnostics and therapy in endodontics. Practical trainings are focused on work on root canal models using various methods and techniques of root canal shaping and obturation. Diagnostical and therapeutical procedures used in endodontics will be also demonstrated on patients.
