The scope of the course includes preparing the third year students to understand, recognize, diagnose and successfully treat pulpally involved or potentially involved teeth. Important fundamentals are stressed with emphasis on the correlation between basic clinical and biological principles. The course will have two main components: 1. Classroom lecture series, which correlates clinical with biological principles of endodontics.
Using data envelopment analysis (DEA), this paper estimates the efficiency of 25 Islamic banks operating in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries during the period 2003-2009. It also examines the relationship between the efficiency of Islamic banks and the performance of their stock. The results suggest that efficiency measures, particularly technical and pure technical efficiency, have increased over the period of study but remain low as compared to conventional banks. The inefficiency of Islamic banks can be attributed to pure technical inefficiency rather than to scale inefficiency.
