At the Academic Centre for Dentistry, Amsterdam (ACTA) clinical endodontics is taught and practised in a general clinic supervised by general dental practitioner instructors; they are continuously trained and supported by the endodontics staff, who are members of the Department of Cariology and Endodontology. The scientific basis of endodontology and the theory of clinical endodontic procedures are taught by the endodontic staff, primarily by using a textbook, a clinical manual, videotapes and a computer program, all accompanied by detailed instructional objectives. During their preclinical training, which allows 63 hours for practising procedures and performing several clinical tests, the students are taught one basic technique to prepare and fill root canals and to restore endodontically treated teeth. This technique, accompanied by clearly outlined criteria, is also used in the patient clinic. In the experience of the staff, who are limited to endodontology, the use of manuals, audiovisual aids and instructional objectives has been very beneficial, and the student's assessment of the endodontology course was, in general, very favourable. Although the clinical results are quite good, the endodontic staff feel that there is still some room for improvement of the teaching. Finally, an elective period has recently been introduced.
在阿姆斯特丹牙科学术中心（ACTA），临床牙髓病学在由普通牙科医生教员监督的普通诊所中进行教学和实践；他们由龋病与牙髓病学系的牙髓病学工作人员持续培训和支持。牙髓病学的科学基础和临床牙髓治疗程序理论由牙髓病学工作人员教授，主要使用一本教科书、一本临床手册、录像带和一个计算机程序，所有这些都附有详细的教学目标。在临床前培训期间，学生有63小时用于练习操作和进行多项临床测试，在此期间，学生学习一种基本技术来预备和充填根管以及修复经牙髓治疗的牙齿。这种技术以及明确列出的标准也用于患者诊所。据仅从事牙髓病学工作的工作人员的经验，手册、视听辅助工具和教学目标的使用非常有益，学生对牙髓病学课程的总体评价也非常好。尽管临床效果相当不错，但牙髓病学工作人员认为教学仍有改进空间。最后，最近引入了一个选修阶段。
