This source examines the critical need for innovation within endodontic education, challenging the notion that it's merely a superficial trend. It highlights significant dilemmas facing the field, such as a shortage of qualified educators, the financial burden on students, and inconsistencies in training standards globally. To address these issues, the article proposes strategic solutions, including the integration of digital platforms, advanced technologies like 3D printing and mixed reality, and the transformative role of artificial intelligence in both education and assessment. Ultimately, the authors advocate for a unified, global effort to standardize training and implement de-institutionalized learning and mentorship programs to prepare future endodontic specialists effectively.
