I would like to know how much, and what type of endo all of you are doing at your schools. Molar Endo, Rotary, no. of canals required....etc. How much endo are you all planning on doing after graduation?

Thanks
 
Here at Creighton, we do as much endo as one would like. The minimum canal req. is 12. That earns the student a C. The Majority of students do much more. Most of our endo is posterior teeth. We use the Light Speed rotary system. We also have something know as "advanced clinical privilages" which allows students to perform extra services such as Microscope use, fewer progress checks, hot shot, and even apicos. We are encouraged to attempt semi-difficult cases and there is more than enough pts to go around.
 
@ OSU

Min req's
5 canals for graduation
min 12 canals on extracted teeth (rotary or hand)

no molar endo unless you get authorization

I plan on doing endo after graduation, but that means i'm going to have to do more that what the school calls the minimum.
 
At King AbdulAziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

*Pre-clinical in 4th year:
4 anterior teeth
2 premolars
4 molars [ only 2 of them must be obturated ]

* 5th year:
you have to do nine canals including at least one molar

* 6th year:
14 canals including at least two molars. Rotary or hand instruments
 
4 total: 2 single canals and 2 multi-canals
 
at Case,

3 teeth any type (1 experience and 2 competencies) to graduate
 
university of sydney

1-2 canals in year 3
min 6 canals in year 4- 1 ant, 1PM, 1 molar

we do quite a bit of pre-clinical endo in year 2, and a little bit more in year 3 before we're expected to do our first endo...

we use rotary and hand filing

i love endo, it rocks. 😀
 
To graduate you need
2 single rooted (need to do in D3)
2 multi rooted (can't be max 2nd molars) need to do in D4

You will RARELY get more than that. The patients you get balk at the idea of $1000+ to save a tooth (endo, p/c, crown) vs $66 to extract. A lot of the patients that can afford that go to postgrad, although our pre-doc endo director is awesome and she always tries to let us do endo when it's possible.

Endo is probably the single hardest graduation requirement next to fixed
 
NYU:

5 teeth (1 molar) is needed for graduation, 1 must be as a competency.

Rotary (Tulsa)
2nd molars are referred to PG.
 
6 cases-1 comp on multirooted tooth.

Advanced group in 4th year, can do more difficult cases and see 2 endo pts 1 afternoon a week; microscope, ultrasonic, warm vertical
