Medical and Interdisciplinary Foundations of Clinical Practice I (RED_031)
About Study Course
Objective
The course provides advanced knowledge of the medical and interdisciplinary principles that underpin safe and evidence-based endodontic practice. It covers the principles of patient medical assessment, local anaesthesia, clinical pharmacology, medical emergency management and basic life support, as well as head and neck anatomy and the anatomical structures of clinical relevance to Endodontics. The course develops competencies in assessing tooth restorability, planning the restoration of endodontically treated teeth, and making evidence-based clinical decisions within an interdisciplinary approach to patient care.
Learning outcomes
1.Acquire thorough knowledge of the principles of local anaesthesia in endodonthia, including the pharmacology of anaesthetics, the use of vasoconstrictors, maximum doses, additional anaesthetic methods in cases of symptomatic irreversible pulpit, symptomatic apical periodontitis and other acute endodontic conditions, as well as the causes of anaesthetic failure and their prevention possibilities.
1.Perform an assessment of the patient’s medical risk according to the ASA classification and adjust the endodontic treatment plan to the patient’s overall state of health.
1.Integrate anatomical, medical, pharmacological, and behavioural science principles into the planning and delivery of safe, evidence-based endodontic treatment, ensuring patient-centred care and effective interdisciplinary collaboration.
