Abstract:
As in other dental specialties, endodontology has established a specialization and an educational programme. In 1990 a 3 year post-academic programme in endodontology was established at the Academic Centre for Dentistry in Amsterdam. Students have to be present 3 days a week. Additionally, they have to perform a substantial amount of self study. The education will enable the endodontic specialist to perform his or her clinical handling and thinking scientifically and by an evidence-based approach. The education will allow the specialist treating his patients optimally, but also sharing his knowledge with colleagues or participating in academic education and research.
