A survey of undergraduate endodontic curricula in 67 United States and Canadian schools has been carried out. The response rate was 82%, with 2 of the 53 responses being incomplete. The major findings were as follows: 1. There was an extremely wide range in curriculum hours, but the average number of clock hours (46 hours) for the preclinical lecture and laboratory period compared favorably with the minimum recommended in 1965.' 2. The average of about six teeth treated during the clinical period also compared favorably with the minimum recommended in 1965.' 3. The average time required for each clinical case (11 hours per tooth) might suggest a critical reevaluation of teaching methods and philosophy.
对美国和加拿大67所学校的本科牙髓病学课程进行了一项调查。回复率为82%，53份回复中有2份不完整。主要调查结果如下：1. 课程时长范围极广，但临床前讲座和实验室阶段的平均课时数（46小时）与1965年推荐的最低课时数相比具有优势。2. 临床阶段治疗的牙齿平均数量约为6颗，这与1965年推荐的最低数量相比也具有优势。3. 每个临床病例所需的平均时间（每颗牙11小时）可能意味着需要对教学方法和理念进行批判性的重新评估。
