- ECTS: European Credit Transfer System
- Term: calendar term
The programme will be implemented based on a series of teaching activities, which we have grouped into the following types:
- Online theoretical learning based on masterclasses
- Preparation of topics based on guided reading of the selected literature
- Preclinical practicums based on tutorials and undertaken at UIC Barcelona
- Clinical practicums at UIC Barcelona
Theoretical part
The theoretical concepts of the subject will be transmitted through masterclasses and guided reading. Seminars will be carried out (discussion on the topics read and prepared at home by both professors and students) to help students interpret the available data. In the discussion of cases, these will be presented by students or professors and there will be a discussion of this based on scientific literature.
1. Basic endodontics
- Pulpoperiapical pathology
- Endodontic diagnosis
- Endo-perio lesions
- Vertical fractures
- Reabsorbtions
- Dental traumatology
2. Making decisions in endodontics
- Endodontics prognosis.
- Reendodontics prognosis.
- Apical surgery prognosis and intentional reimplant
- Endo versus implants.
- Endodontics treatment plan.
3. Clinical concept in endodontics
- Pulp chambers
- Determination of the length of the project
- Tools in endodontics
- Disinfection in endodontics

4. Advanced Endodontics
- Managing endodontic problems
- Reendodontics
- Perforations
- Open apice management
- Periapical surgery and intentional reeimplant
- Autotransplantation
- Reconstructing a tooth after root canal treatment
5. Treatment Planning: Discussion of practical cases
Practical part
1. Clinical techniques
Undertaking in vitro practicums. Students will be provided with guidelines to undertake preclinical practicums, and through tutorials students should undertake the exercises they have been given. Students will take photographs at specific moments, which must be sent to be evaluated by the lecturers and professors. Practicums in laboratories will also be carried out in the inpatient clinic in the university (4 weeks during each academic years).
2. Endodontics Clinic
Practicums undertaken at the UIC Barcelona University Dental Clinic (CUO) with patients under the guidance of professors and lecturers from the Department of Endodontics.
Final Master's Degree Project
Students can opt to present a well-documented research project with current supporting literature, or undertake a literature review, always under the supervision of their tutor.
Courses and conferences
Students must attend at least one scientific conference in the field of endodontics (ESE, AEDE or SEOC).
Students will be evaluated for the different modules and materials, taking the following into account:
- Written tests (exams)
- Acquisition of knowledge of clinical, technological and surgical skills through continuous assessment
- Defence of your final Master’s Degree Project and the presentation of cases before a jury
