 Knowledge of dental anatomy is the basis of success of endodontics, non surgical endodontics and apical surgery. Therefore, this course will expand the knowledge of dental anatomy of each tooth and its anatomical variables.

Material:
- Natural teeth: 16 permanent teeth, 8 upper and 8 lower regardless of whether they are from the right or
left part of the dental arch.
- A box of rewritable CDs or DVDs.
- Digital camera (reflex).
- Memory card for the camera in a computer-compatible format.
- 3ccc digital image setter (that can be adapted to a microscope).
- Computer with Internet connection (laptop or desktop)
- Pen drive.
- Mouth mirrors for taking photos of the access openings and teeth of the patient.
- Digital imaging system (kodak-trophy, radiography or other digital).
- X ray positioners for the digital sensor.

General objectives:

- Cognitive revision of dental morphology.
- The student of the endodontics master’s should have a good working knowledge of dental anatomical
terminology.
- The student of the endodontics master’s should have a good working knowledge of anatomy to effectively
progress in clinical practice.

Specific objectives:

THE STUDENT SHOULD COMPLETE

A. A topographical and descriptive document of the crown and root anatomy of each tooth (photos of the 5
sides of the 16 teeth, 8 upper arch, 8 lower arch, with the respective access openings); (everything in Word,
including the photos of the teeth the student has worked with, like the album presented at the start of the
course), the access openings should be filmed and edited with a film program such as Adobe Premier or
a similar system. The student should include sound in the video, which should be used to explain clearly
and in detail how the access opening of the tooth is performed.

B. Periapical radiographies of pre-post opening comparisons. (digital ortho-radial)

C. Photos and comments on the possible errors of the access openings in the tooth.
