You will also develop skills in assessing and managing patients with endodontic problems due to trauma or resorption, as well as the assessment and management of endodontic problems in children/adolescents. Further skills will be gained in acquiring, evaluating and critically appraising evidence and developing clinical decision making and critical reflection skills.

Final year

In the final year, you will undertake an academic module to develop evidence-based dentistry skills including: clinical question formulation; evidence acquisition, appraisal and synthesis; clinical decision-making and critical thinking skills. You will design your own research question, relevant to your programme of study and conduct a rigorous evidence synthesis project. The successful completion of this module will equip you with evidence-based dentistry skills, allowing you to remain up-to-date and to critically evaluate new research.
