Endodontics- Preclinicals

Objective:     

This Pre-Clinical workshop aims to enable the Dentist to handle the Root canal instruments, materials and practice the steps of Root Canal Treatment in extracted teeth and take approval from the expert mentor. The course helps in excelling the skills and boosting confidence before the procedure is performed on a patient to help prevent errors and provide quality treatment. The last Root Canal Treatment of your course will be like a test, where you have to finish the procedure within 45 minutes.

Why Pre-clinical?

Before performing the procedure on the patient, the dentist should be an expert in the basics of the procedure, the skills required, and the prevention and management of all possible errors. A dentist can NEVER learn on a patient. 

Before performing the procedure on the patient, preclinical practice is crucial in building confidence and thus, preventing the risk of errors and increasing the chances of success of the treatment. This is why pre-clinical practice is an important part of the BDS and MDS course curriculum.
