AB  - AIM: To understand whether the self-efficacy of undergraduates is associated with 
      the extent of the endodontic education they received. METHODOLOGY: Data were 
      obtained from three undergraduate endodontic programmes in two universities: 
      Aarhus University (AU), Denmark and the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam 
      (ACTA), the Netherlands. Just before their graduations in 2016 or 2017, students 
      completed a questionnaire that contained the Endodontic General Self-Efficacy 
      Scale and questions on how they valued the education they received in 
      Endodontics. The information on the number and type of root canal treatments 
      participants had performed on patients was collected from dental clinic 
      management systems. Data were ana-lysed using non-parametric tests and multiple 
      regression analyses. RESULTS: The median number of treated root canals on 
      patients per student was 5 in the standard programme at ACTA, 10 in AU, and 14.5 
      in the extended programme at ACTA. Students' self-efficacy increased with the 
      number of treated root canals; however, retreatments and root canal treatments in 
      molars were negatively associated with self-efficacy. All students wanted more 
      experience in performing root canal treatment on patients. CONCLUSIONS: The 
      endodontic self-efficacy of students from the standard programmes of the two 
      participating universities was comparable. Students' self-efficacy was influenced 
      mostly by their clinical experience when performing root canal treatment. It 
      seems that the more root canal treatments students perform on patients, the 
      greater their self-efficacy is at graduation. However, treating difficult cases 
      (molars and retreatments) might reduce their self-efficacy.
