This module will present and discuss the wide variety of materials used in Endodontology. For each material the chemical, physical, mechanical, antimicrobial and biological properties will be discussed. Furthermore, the specific characteristics and the optimal methods for handling and placing each material will be explored to prepare the student for different clinical scenarios. The restoration of the endodontically treated teeth using different methods will also be dealt with in detail as the inability to restore the teeth leads to treatment failure. The students will also have independent clinical sessions in their own practices to be able to practice the techniques they have learnt in this module.
