AB  - At the Academic Centre for Dentistry, Amsterdam (ACTA) clinical endodontics is 
      taught and practised in a general clinic supervised by general dental 
      practitioner instructors; they are continuously trained and supported by the 
      endodontics staff, who are members of the Department of Cariology and 
      Endodontology. The scientific basis of endodontology and the theory of clinical 
      endodontic procedures are taught by the endodontic staff, primarily by using a 
      textbook, a clinical manual, videotapes and a computer program, all accompanied 
      by detailed instructional objectives. During their preclinical training, which 
      allows 63 hours for practising procedures and performing several clinical tests, 
      the students are taught one basic technique to prepare and fill root canals and 
      to restore endodontically treated teeth. This technique, accompanied by clearly 
      outlined criteria, is also used in the patient clinic. In the experience of the 
      staff, who are limited to endodontology, the use of manuals, audiovisual aids and 
      instructional objectives has been very beneficial, and the student's assessment 
      of the endodontology course was, in general, very favourable. Although the 
      clinical results are quite good, the endodontic staff feel that there is still 
      some room for improvement of the teaching. Finally, an elective period has 
      recently been introduced.
