    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To determine the uptake of and wants of New Zealand general dental practitioners for continuing education in endodontics. DESIGN: Mail-out survey questionnaire. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A survey form was sent to general dental practitioners on the Dental Register and data were analysed using SPSS. RESULTS: The response rate was 79 percent. The majority of respondents (92 percent) stated they were either very interested or moderately interested in endodontics, with nearly 34 percent being members of the national endodontic society. Seventy-six percent had attended an endodontic course in the past three years and 85 percent wanted to attend a course. Hands-on courses were the most popular. CONCLUSIONS: Endodontics is a popular discipline in New Zealand, with over 75 percent of respondents having regularly attended refresher courses and wanting to attend further courses.
