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.
