A bstract — Undergraduate endodontology is taught in Australian Universities in Restorative or Conservative departments. Courses generally consist of twelve lectures, three seminars and technique courses. Average clinical experience is six to eight endodontic treatments in anterior and posterior teeth. Comparison with American and Scandinavian teaching, staff and facilities indicates that this subject is receiving considerably less emphasis in Australia. As endodontic therapy is essential in any dental health programme based on preventive dentistry there is a considerable need to upgrade undergraduate endodontic teaching in Australia.
