AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study assessed whether self-efficacy and the self-perceived 
      competence of undergraduate dental students had been influenced by the method of 
      teaching endodontics. METHODS: Certain modules of the undergraduate endodontic 
      programme at the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA) including the 
      tutorials, the clinical training and the assessment were revised. The 
      self-efficacy and self-perceived competence close to graduation of an 
      intermediate cohort of 24 students who attended all or some of the former modules 
      or the revised modules were assessed. Additionally, the performance of students 
      in performing root canal treatments was assessed according to predetermined 
      criteria. Data were analysed using Cohen's Kappa, Cronbach's Alpha, Mann-Whitney 
      and T-tests. RESULTS: Self-efficacy and the self-perceived competence of students 
      who followed the former modules of clinical training and assessment were similar 
      to those of students who followed the revised modules. The revised module with 
      higher number of tutorials increased students' self-perceived competence, but did 
      not influence their self-efficacy statistically significantly. Not the entire 
      number, but the number of root canal treatments performed under supervision of 
      endodontists was related with an increase in students' self-efficacy and 
      self-perceived competence. The performance of students in performing root canal 
      tretaments was not statistically significantly related to their self-efficacy and 
      self-perceived competence. CONCLUSION: Among the modules and their components 
      assessed in the present study, only the number of tutorials and the number of 
      root canal treatments performed under supervision of endodontists influenced the 
      self-efficacy and the self-perceived competence of students.
