• SDM EN 521: Endodontics
  This lecture course provides the dental student with a clear understanding of the biological foundations of pulpal and periapical disease. The causes and progression of these problems are discussed. Diagnostic, therapeutic, preventative, and follow-up modalities are introduced.
• SDM EN 522: Preclinical Endodontics
  This simulated clinic course provides experience and skill development in the clinical therapeutic techniques being presented in the lecture course. Both extracted and artificial teeth mounted in simulated mannequin patients are utilized to prepare students for direct patient endodontic care.
• SDM EN 640: Clinical Endodontics
  Didactic seminar and clinical patient experiences consist of the diagnosis and treatment of pulpal and periapical dental pathology requiring endodontic intervention. Specific focus of this course is on case selection, emergency endodontic therapy, specialty referral, non-surgical endodontic therapy, direct observation of clinical endodontic procedures in the predoctoral and postdoctoral setting, in addition to preparation for the endodontic component of clinical licensure exams.
• SDM EN 803: Endodontics III: Preclinical Endodontics
