DS Academy participants can start with the interactive curriculum at the level that best suits their clinical experience and interests.
Dentsply Sirona’s new On-Demand Endodontics Curriculum is designed to build and expand clinicians’ skills through self-paced, user-friendly, interactive online learning. The new endodontics continuing education (CE) courses, now available through the DS Academy, cover diagnosis and the entire endodontic therapy workflow, from fundamental to mastery topics.
The new curriculum provides dentists with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration they need to stay up to date with tuition-free interactive, user-friendly online CE courses, states Dentsply Sirona. Developed in collaboration with world-renowned clinicians and instructional designers, the comprehensive curriculum showcases current endodontic techniques and procedures.
Participants can start with the curriculum at the level that best suits their clinical experience and interests. It is self-paced and interactive, meaning that courses can be taken at the clinician’s convenience, anytime, anywhere.
“The rapid advances in technology across all the disciplines of dental health care have made it even more essential for clinicians to be committed to life-long learning”, says Mark A. Latta, DMD, MS, Professor of General Dentistry at Creighton University. “While there are numerous opportunities for on-demand virtual courses, finding high-quality, evidenced-based education can be a challenge. Driven by a cadre of global experts, the Dentsply Sirona curriculum will provide each learner immediate benefits for the care of their patients, regardless of where they are on their educational journey.”
The new endodontics curriculum is focused on the entire workflow and is grouped into 3 learning tracks – Foundational, Procedure-Based, and Mastery. Participants new to endodontics can start their learning journey with the foundational learning track which includes 4 courses concentrating on an introduction to endodontics, including diagnosis.
Those with more experience can jump further down the learning pathway to the intermediate, procedure-based level. The 3 courses of this track primarily discuss endodontic therapy and the factors influencing treatment outcomes. Finally, the mastery courses are ideal for experienced clinicians interested in further refining or expanding their existing skills. The 3 courses of this advanced level discuss non-surgical retreatment, the management of perforations, and the open apex.
“We are committed to providing high-quality continuing education through our Dentsply Sirona Academy. Our goal is to help dental professionals overcome common challenges and bring out the best in
them so they can confidently provide the best possible care for their patients” says Pamela Marklew, Vice President Global Clinical Education at Dentsply Sirona.
