How to approach endodontics stations

Endodontic stations usually combine pain history with a clear diagnosis and options. Practise asking about the nature of the pain, explaining what is inflamed or infected, and laying out treatment choices with their pros and cons.

Whatever the topic, the same habits earn marks: signpost what you will cover, listen, explain in plain words, offer real options, and check understanding. Our guide to the communication criteria shows how: ADC communication marking criteria, explained.
