“…In Brazil, Nassri et al [12] published a study in which they presented artificial teeth for the teaching of the discipline of Endodontia, made of opaque resin that mimics natural human teeth.. Nassri et al [13] evaluated the morphological, physical, and radiographic features of these artificial teeth and observed their potential in replacing the natural teeth in preclinical training.…”

Introduction: The anatomy of root canals is very variable, with the presence of ramifications, side canals, accessory canals, and interconnections. Therefore, the knowledge of the internal tooth morphology has a fundamental importance for the localization and treatment of root canals, thus achieving success in endodontic treatment. In Endodontics, the preclinical teaching requires human teeth, but because of the current difficulty in obtaining them, the students have used artificial dental elements. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the anatomy of the pulp chamber of artificial teeth, used in practical activities in Endodontics. Material and methods: Therefore, the artificial teeth were X-rayed through the digital system and the internal anatomy of the pulp chamber was measured through the Image Tool software. Results: The height of the mandibular pulp chamber: mandibular molar = 1.8 mm and maxillary molar = 1.32 mm; distance from the furcation to the pulp chamber floor: mandibular molar = 5.89 mm and maxillary molar = 7.24 mm; distance from the furcation to the pulp chamber's roof: mandibular molar = 7.61 mm and maxillary molar = 8.59 mm; distance from the tip of the buccal cusps to the furcation: mandibular molar = 14 mm and maxillary molar = 15 mm; distance from the tip of the buccal cusps to the pulp chamber's floor: mandibular molar = 7.9 mm and maxillary molar = 8.1 mm; distance from the tip of the buccal cusps to the pulp chamber's roof: mandibular molar = 6.2 mm and maxillary molar = 6.4 mm. The measures were homogeneous with maximum percentage variation of 26.5%. Also, the artificial teeth were similar to natural teeth, except for the relationship between the pulp chamber's roof and cementum-enamel junction. Thus, it is recommended the use artificial teeth with caution in preclinical teaching of Endodontics.

“…Study by Nassri et al evaluated five cloudy resin artificial teeth for their internal and external anatomy; coronal chambers for their size, shape and canal path; root canals for their size, shape and position; pulp chamber and root canals by considering their texture, quantity, color, and ease of handling; resin hardness and visualization of the radiographic image and concluded that the artificial teeth have potential to replace the natural teeth in endodontic teaching; however, improvements are still necessary to reach a better quality model. [9] 87% of students associated endodontics with root canal therapy. But there is a paradigm shift in management of pulpal and periapical diseases with emphasis on vital pulp therapy, regenerative endodontics, microsurgical procedures, post-endodontic restorations, non-vital bleaching for esthetics, endodontics as a part of interdisciplinary treatment modalities , thus suggesting need to emphasis on these treatment modalities during teaching of this specialty.…”

Introduction: Students' attitude toward choosing a specialty subject for post graduate studies is of great importance for the education system. Aim: To evaluate the dental students' perception and attitude toward learning, in rendering treatment, choosing endodontics as a specialty for post-graduation. Materials and Methods: A semi structured questionnaire study survey consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions was compiled and distributed among 400 undergraduate dental clinical students. The main domains appraised were preclinical and clinical training in endodontics, their opinion and interest in endodontics as post-graduate specialty. One sample chi-square test was done to see the association of subject response toward endodontic as a specialty response to each question. Results: The response rate was 74.5%, the results showed 72% of the students preferred preclinical training on extracted human teeth. 71% of the students believed that intense preclinical training will help them to manage patients confidently. Conclusion: The principal conclusion of the study revealed that majority of the students find endodontics an interesting subject to study and they would opt for endodontics as a postgraduate specialty subject.
