Learning outcomes of the subject
- - Diagnosis and Treatment Plan in Endodontics LEARNING OUTCOMES From title – CN01, HB03, HB05, HB12, HB14, HB18, HB20 Of matter – The students will be able to: 1. Solve the complications that undergraduate students have during their preclinical practices. 2. Make public presentations of their own clinical cases based on scientific literature, through the correct use of scientific terminology. 3. Debate and reason endodontic clinical techniques before a specialized and non-specialized audience in a clear and unambiguous way. 4. Determine the role of an endodontist within an interdisciplinary team. 5. Successfully plan, through prior analysis, any endodontic problem, as well as those directly related to restorative and aesthetic dentistry. 6. Identify and organize endodontic material and instruments in a precise and orderly manner. 7. Assess different therapeutic options for pulpo-periapical pathology according to the scientific literature. 8. Develop different isolation strategies for the surgical field to carry out a successful endodontic and restorative treatment
