摘要:

Summary.The first workshop on endodontics, in 1978, pointed out that the standard of endodontics in the United Kingdom was poor. The British Endodontic Society has subsequently attempted to improve the remuneration in the NHS by conducting and publishing a survey, and also establishing guidelines for minimum acceptable standards. Despite this, in the author's opinion, there has been no improvement. However, four ways of raising the standards of endodontics are proposed.

摘要:

Summary.Integration, whole patient care and small group teaching are concepts which set the pattern for undergraduate teaching at ‘The London’. This system promotes co‐operation between disciplines, enables students to see the basic teaching in a wider clinical context, activates the learning process and gives students an opportunity to learn responsibility by running their own ‘mini‐practices’. Unfortunately, the system also has some undesirable effects, which are discussed with special reference to the teaching of

摘要:

Summary.At the Academic Centre for Dentistry, Amsterdam (ACTA) clinical endodontics is taught and practised in a general clinic supervised by general dental practitioner instructors; they are continuously trained and supported by the endodontic staff, who ire members of the Department of Cariology and Endodontoiogy. The scientific basis of endodontology and the theory of clinical endodontic procedures are taught by the endodontic staff, primarily by using a textbook, a clinical manual, videotapes and a computer program, all accompanied by detailed instructional objectives. During their preclinical training, which allows 63 hours for practising procedures and performing several clinical tests, the students are taught one basic technique to prepare and fill root canals and to restore endodontically treated teeth. This technique, accompanied by clearly outlined criteria, is also used in the patient clinic.In the experience of the staff, who are limited to endodontology, the use of manuals, audiovisual aids and instructional objectives has been very beneficial, and the student's assessment of the endodontology course was, in general, very favourable. Although the clinical results are quite good, the endodontic staff feel that there is still some room for improvement of the teaching. Finally, an elective period has recently been introduced.

摘要:

Summary.The pattern of teaching root canal therapy within dental schools of the UK was determined and compared with that carried out within several dental schools in Europe and the USA. Although it appeared that ‘teachers of endodontics’ in the UK were advocating techniques adopted elsewhere, it was clear that, within the dental undergraduate curriculum as a whole, the teaching of root canal therapy was given a lower priority than that in some schools in Europe and the USA. Recommendations to remedy this unsatisfactory position are provi

摘要:

Summary.By means of a questionnaire, the views of recently qualified graduates, who were participating in vocational training schemes, on their undergraduate endodontic training and postquaiification experience were examined. On the basis of these findings suggestions are made as to what changes are necessary in their undergraduate training and how their skills can be further improved after qualification.

摘要:

Summary.Considerable preparation, planning and detailed organization are necessary if endodontic ‘hands‐on’ courses are to be stimulating and worthwhile for participant and teacher alike. Projection facilities, lighting, seating and working surface requirements must be checked immediately on arrival at the venue.The format, although flexible enough to allow for the wide range of knowledge and practical ability found within any one group, must adhere to and stress the current fundamentals in endodontic teaching. Not only can information and skill in diagnosis, root canal preparation and obturation be taught in a ‘hands‐on’ format, but rubber dam isolation techniques can also be practised very successfully.Tutors must be prepared to demonstrate personally their clinical ability and experience of principles and techniques taught during the course.Post‐course feedback can be an extremely useful means of ensuring that ‘hands‐on’ courses are relevant, with the appropriate practical emphasis required by the general dental practitioner, as well as the necessary stress on en

摘要:

Summary.The running of a section 63 hands‐on course on endodontics requires prior planning. Suggestions on how to plan such courses include the design of the programme, the number of course members and instructors, requirements from the postgraduate centre, equipment and materials needed, travel and accommodation, and finally reimbursemen

摘要:

Summary.The Netherlands Society for Endodontology has developed a 5‐year plan for continuing education that served as a guideline for two baste courses in endodontology. The 2‐day basic course has been attended by over 2000 dentists, and has been very much appreciated according to the evaluation outlined in this article. The development and content of these courses are described.Over the past 10 years it has been shown that there is a high demand for continuing education in endodontology in The Netherlands, and that a properly designed and presented course may be very success

摘要:

Summary.This paper addresses the problem of the insufficient number of instructors available for ‘hands‐on’ endodontic courses for dental practitioners throughout the UK. The Council of the British Endodontic Society proposes the setting up of regional endodontic study clubs. Subsequently, some study club members will be encouraged to present ‘hands‐on’ courses to other practitioners in their region. It is hoped that Area Representatives of the Council, who will organize the study clubs, will be found among the university teachers of
