Hi
To apply to ACFD visit their website: www.acfd.ca
After you get you u think is a good score apply to the different universities with their requirements.
From there it depends upon the schools to call you for the interview or not but all of these schools have practical exams so you will have to prepare for those.
The biggest thing at this point of time is to get a good score and leave the rest for later on.

All the best and hope this helps you a little.

Hi Everyone

I really dont know from where someone got the information that the coming EE is going to be easy. Please dont get your hopes high and prepare to the best of your ability.

One thing that I want to bring to your attention is that NDEB changed the exam for their regular students which almost everyone found to be difficult. I will try and get some questions from those students and post them so that people who gave their exam in sept can see if they are the same or not , otherwise it is just a hunch that the exam format might be changed again. i am not sure when I will be able to post those as right now these students are writing their exams.

Not to get your hopes down but just want to help so that everyone can get a good score and move on.

All the best.

Hi Bridge,
Is this mentioned somewhere that NDEB format has changed on the web? Please if you find out about any questions ,do post them as it will benifit all of us ( as you know that the next exam is on May 13).
Thanks
Nkhalid

Hi NKhalid

No it is not mentioned anywhere that the format has changed. What I ment by format being changed was that till last yr they were getting questions a lot form the previous question papers but this time they did not even have 10% repeats. I will try my best but cannot promise you anything as the people who will give me these questions start writing their exams from tomorrow - final exams so I cannot disturb them right now. I hope u will understand my position.

Hi Bridge,
Thanks a lot. I do understand your position.

Hi....Im giving my EE this may....wanted to know if they have questions coming from Part 1, as most of the people suggested that Part 2 prep is more than sufficient.Kindly adv

hi
do u have any information about that after finishing dds in canada ,can a dentist work in US .

Yes, you can work in the US after finishing an Advanced Standing Program in Canada. However, you have to take the American NDBE I and II, and I think the State Board in which you want to practice dentistry.

Hi doctor,

Let me know if intrested in teaming up to prepare for the eligibility exam.

Hi bridge,
Thanks for keeping your promise, I really appreciate it.
Nkhalid

Thanks Bridge.I appreciate this. :thumbup: :)

Hey guys thanx for everything I am just trying to pitch in a little from my side.
From what I am seeing from the questions posted and the ones I have put up it seems they are from the same pool. So please check them out very carefully.

Also i do understand each one is working very hard but confirm them before you actually stick to those. I have seen some controversial answers with which I dont completely agree for eg the ADA antibiotic prophylaxis. Valvular dysfunction is major concern for prophylaxis but it is excluded from the list. So please double and triple check alll the answers it is worthwhile.

From my personel experience I remember reading somebody's answers and writing the exam and then next time when I verified there were about 10-15% wrong answers . Also when you read to confirm those answers you may just come up with something important and it may help u later.

All the best everyone and hoping that each one succeedes in their endeavours.

does anyone know what's the problem with the may 2006 exam prep thread....cause when I try to get into it it says invalid thread...am I the only one having this problem?????

yep i m having same problem in accessing to EE thread .
i have a quest pls reply me that what language tests you guys took as i took TOEFL IBT and got 84 but many UNI.require 86 so i ll have to take this again after EE .So,pls can anyone guide me that what test should i take.As i have to take this immidiate after EE soz many unis.have their deadline for receiving applications just after may.
Pls.guide me ,i will be highly thankful.

hi gori

Hii Gag

I will keep it for myself for the time being until anyone here shows he does have some more questions that we can exchange. Hurry up ! the exam is next saturday.

hi
do u have any information about that after finishing dds in canada ,can a dentist work in US .

DDS/DMD in Canada and United States are reciprocally recognized. If you are already a dentist in Canada and want to work in the States you don't have to do NBDEI &II. But what you must do is the regional board licensing examination ie. NERB, WREB etc. These are clinical exams unlike Canadian's which is OSCE.

If you are already a dentist in Canada and want to work in the States you don't have to do NBDEI &II. But what you must do is the regional board licensing examination ie. NERB, WREB etc.

Really? If you're a practising dentist in Canada, you don't have to take the NBDE I and II? I always thought one has to take those to practise in the States in addition to the regional board licensing examination. Has it always been this way or is this policy new?

:) hello everybody,

i am miss mahnaz ali , hope ur all doin gr8. I was wondering if any body could give me help n guidance on the canadian eligibility exam for international dentists. I intend to write the next exam.....is it very difficult and are you supposed to do everything in depth? how many months would you need to prepare for it? are old question papers available? are there any specific handbooks or text books that are recommended....
i would be greatly obliged if someone could pls kindly give me information as i am completely lost :confused:
thank you
take care n hv a gr8 day
:thumbup:

I dont think thats true becos a SDner(Anjali) who studied & practised in Canada for a few yrs shifted to US last yr and she had to write NBDE 1,2 , licensing exam and ethics exam before applying for a job.

Canada and USA accept each other their professional licenses, it is, DDS licenses. In other words, Canada accept almost all (I don't know about exceptions) USA dental licenses, and USA the Canadian ones. This is the way I am taking both EE and NBD Exams.

Actually i m also preparing for EE first time. But what information i had collected and what review i got abt exam, i feel without reading text books or in other word with the help of only NBDE desk we cant get good score in EE... i am not scaring you but this was just information what i had got.

And abt canadian NDEB exam.. actually it is certification exam which all DDS student as well as after completion of qualifying programe we have to give in order to get registration as general dentist in canada. it is different from usa's NBDE exam and also from eligibility exam of canada. and we do not have to worry abt that now.

I feel you are looking for past EE exam's question paper... but dear officialy it is not published till date.. but some question we can get from the person who had given exam...

So if you are looking for past exam's question paper then you can only find USA's NBDE exam's part 1 and part2 's released papers...

i would like to help all those who plan to give eligibilty exam. its a tough exam and u need patience and hard work to get good percentage. and even after getting good scores university interviews and practicals are really hard , too much competition on that level.i would recommend to every one who is giving ee that to also give national board part 1 to be on the safe side when the time comes for admission so u wont be disappointed.i would suggest all of you to study oral pathology intensively for ee as 50% of questions are oral patho.peadiatric dentistry is important also . good luck to all.

hi,if i already have the license in USA, can i practice dentistry in Canada, o i have to start again there to get the Canadian license? plz answer me .

bdds_sdn@yahoo.com

hiii
i would suggest you to buy both dental decks 1 and 2 and read them all at least 2 times. get some dental mcq books from ur country and practice to increase ur speed of reading and answering, use common sense as they wanna see ur clinical approach to the question. get some ndb books from uni of toronto library for part 2 mcqs it helps a lot. but ee is all about clinical so experince counts . improve ur CV as they check every thing, good ielts score is important,,,, try to get 8 in ielts. if u have 3 years experience, 8 ielts band score,, 82 or 83 percent in ee u will be called for interview in all canadian unis. good luck every one

hi no one seems to be interseted to be and meet on mondays,,

any way,
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ,IF LEFT UNTRETED IS MOST LIKELY TO RESULT IN A PERIAPICAL LESION

A, Reversible pulpitis
B, Acure suppurative pulpitis

"Acute suppurative pulpitis" doesn't exist, and doesn't really even make any sense if you think about it.

hi no one seems to be interseted to be and meet on mondays,,

any way,
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ,IF LEFT UNTRETED IS MOST LIKELY TO RESULT IN A PERIAPICAL LESION

A, Reversible pulpitis
B, Acure suppurative pulpitis

Classification of pulpitis:
I. Acute pulpitis
A. Acute serous pulpitis
B. Acute suppurative pulpitis
II. Chronic Pulpitis
A. Chronic closed pulpitis
B. Chronic open pulpitis
1. Chronic ulcerative pulpitis
2. Chronic hyperplastic pulpitis


Acute partial serous pulpitis
- is an acute inflammation of mild form, usually involving a portion of the unexposed pulp.
Clinical Features:
- Pain is more severe than hyperemia
- Tooth is sensitive to hot and cold temperature but cold can cause
distressing pain than heat.
- Pain persist even after removal of irritant
- The involved tooth usually has extensive caries
- Tooth is not sensitive to percussion

Acute Total Serous Pulpitis
- In total serous pulpitis, a bigger portion of the pulp is involved.
Clinical Features:
- Pain is severe and persistent throbbing or neuralgic type
- Pain becomes worse in recumbent position
- Heat can cause pain of lancinating character and cold seems to relieve the
pain
-Tooth maybe sensitive to percussion due to periapical involvement

ACUTE SUPPURATIVE PULPITIS (PURULENT TYPE)
This is an acute inflammation of the unexposed pulp with accumulation of pus and exudates. Sometimes it may be an open form but the exposed pulp may not have sufficient drainage for the escape of exudate and pus. There is an entrance of infection into the pulp from carious lesion. This is a PROGRESSIVE type of pulpitis. As a result of breakdown of the infected pulp tissue by the action of bacteria and leukocytes, small cavities containing pus develop. These are known as ABSCESSES.
Clinical Features (similar to that of acute serous pulpitis)
- Pain is intense pulsating type which later becomes intermittent throbbing
- Pain is continuous for a long period and becomes worse when heat is
applied but usually relieved temporarily by ice water
- Pain is reflected to a tooth in the opposite jaw or the ear (otalgia) or to a
tooth anterior to an offending one
- X-rays may reveal periapical changes if inflammation progresses to the apex
- Tooth may become sensitive to percussion
- In severe type, lymph nodes may be swollen, fever, headache and general
malaise may develop.

Chronic Pulpitis
Is a slow advancing caries and with low virulence of bacteria. The pulp inflammation at the start is a low grade chronic inflammation or chronic condition may follow an acute pulpitis when drainage is established.

Hello to all,
I am a new memeber and want some additional info on practical exams before i drown my self in the dental decks etc. as suggested.
1) has anyone tried admission for UBC, OR LONDON ONTARIO...what does the practical test comprise of? i have read that london has a 5 day testing period...phew! maybe if i know the details it can put my mind to rest and i can study better.

2) Also is it must to keep working in the dental field as an assistant to show dental experience in Canada. What if i have a better job for all the years i am trying for admissions...like driving the bus. i am told that the univ people look for experience in the dental field in canada, or the U.S.. IS IT TRUE?

help and comments will be greatly appreciated

Ok here are some questions with my personal correction, I need confirmation and correction if any mistake was made, please prodive me a logical reason if you found any mistake!

I have more... coming soon


Increased tooth mobility can result from:
a) excessive occlusal forces with normal periodontal support
b) apical periodontitis
c) normal occlusal forces with inadequate periodontal support
d) simple marginal gingivitis
A. (1)(2)(3) * APICAL PERIODONTITIS? WHY!
B. (1) and (3)
C. (2) and (4)
D. (4)
E. All of above


In a 10-y.o. child with a normal mixed dentition and healthy periodontal tissues, removal of the labial frenum is indicated when
a) the frenum is located at the MG junction
b) a diastema is present but the papilla does not blanch when tension is placed on the frenum
c) the frenum is located on the attached gingival
d) none of the above *

I wanted to make sure we are supposed to wait till the cannines arupet, right?




The oral mucosa covering the base of the alveolar bone
A. is normally non-keratinized but can become keratinized in response to physiologic stimulation. *
B. is closely bound to underlying muscle and bone.
C. does not contain elastic fibres.
D. merges with the keratinized gingiva at the mucogingival junction *
E. has a tightly woven dense collagenous corium
A confirmation here would be nice!


Following root planing, a patient experiences
thermal sensitivity. This pain is associated with
which of the following?
A. Golgi receptor.
B. Free nerve endings. *
C. Odontoblastic processes. *
A.Cementoblasts.

The thing here is that free ends are on the base of the odontoblasts and they convey pain from there, but on the other hand the odontoblastic processes can be consiedered a part of the mechanism why pain is felt!


Which of the following microorganisms are most frequently found in infected root canals?
A. Streptococcus viridans *
B. Staphylococcus aureus
C. Lactobacilli
D. Enterococci
E. Staphylococcus albus

Confirmation needed here


Periodontal pocket epithelium
A. is NOT colonized by bacteria
B. does NOT contain anatomically and physiologically distinct zones
C. is a site where immunological elements interact with pocket bacteria *
D. does NOT provide a barrier against bacterial penetration *

I need confirmation here


A protective mechanism of the dental pulp to external irritation or caries is the formation of

A. pulp stones. *
B. secondary dentin.
C. secondary cementum.
D. primary dentin.

Secondary dentin is formed after root complition. So my vote would go for pulp stones! right?



When a radiographic examination is warranted for a 10 year old child, the most effective way to decrease radiation exposure is to”

A. use a thyroid collar and lead apron *
B. apply a radiation protection badge
C. use high speed film *
D. decrease the kilovoltage to 50kVp
E. take a panoramic film only

In american board exams they say high speed films, but I wonder if canadian boards say the same thing!




Particulate hydroxyapatite, when placed subperiostially,
1. is highly biocompatible.
2. has a low incidence of secondary
infection following surgery.
3. has a tendency to migrate following
insertion.
4. induces bone formation throughout the
implanted material.
A. (1) (2) (3) *
B. (1) and (3)
C. (2) and (4)
D. 4 only
E. All above

I need some confirmation here!




Osteomyelitis of the mandible may follow
1. radiotherapy.
2. dentoalveolar abscess.
3. fracture.
4. Vincent’s angina.
A. (1) (2) (3) *
B. (1) and (3)
C. (2) and (4)
D. (4) only
E. All of the above.

Confirmation would be nice here


For which of the following pathological conditions
would a lower central incisor tooth be expected to
respond to heat, cold and electric pulp test?
A. Apical cyst.
B. Acute apical abscess. *
C. Periapical osteofibrosis. *
D. Chronic apical periodontitis.*

I want to make sure which one!

In children, the most common cause of a fistula is a/an
A. acute periapical abscess*
B. chronic periapical abscess *
C. acute periodontal abscess
D. dentigerous cyst


Which one?




The roots of primary molars in the absence of their permanent successors
1. sometimes are partially resorbed and become ankylosed.
2. may remain for years without significant resorption.
3. may remain for years partially resorbed.
4. are always resorbed.

A. (1) (2) (3)
B. (1) and (3)
C. (2) and (4)
D. (4) only
E. All of the above.

HELP!!!



The most appropriate treatment following the extraction of a first primary molar in a 4-year
child is
A. regular assessment of arch development.
B. to perform space analysis.*
C. insertion of a space maintainer.*
D. extraction of the contra-lateral molar.
E. extraction of the opposing molar.

what if there was lack of space!!! shouldn't a space analysis be performed first?


During extraction of a maxillary third molar, the tuberosity is fractured. The tooth with the tuberosity remains attached to the surrounding soft tissue. You should
a) remove both and suture
b) leave both and stabilize, if possible *
c) remove both, fill the defect with Gelfoam and suture
d) reflect the mucoperiosteum, remove the tooth, leaving the tuberosity in place and suture *

Which is the best?



Alteration of the intestinal flora by some chemotherapeutic agents can interfere with reabsorption of a contraceptive steroid thus preventing the recirculation of the drug through the enterohepatic circulation. Which of the following can interfere with this mechanism?
1. Codeine
2. Penicillin V
3. Acetaminophen
4. Tetracycline

a) 1, 2, 3

a) syncope *
b) hematoma
c) thrombophlebitis
d) embolus

according to the U of T lectures! but I need ot make sure.

I need to make sure about this one





The gingival margin of the preparation for a full crown on a posterior tooth, with a clinical crown that satisfies the requirements for retention and resistance, should be placed
A. 0.5mm subgingivally. *
B. on the enamel.
C. at least 1mm supragingivally.
D. at the cemento-enamel junction.

The best way to protect the abutments of a Class I removable partial denture from the negative effects of the additional load applied to them is by:
a. splinting abutments with adjacent teeth
b. keeping a light occlusion on the distal extensions *
b. placing distal rests on distal abutments
d. Using cast clasps on distal abutments
e. regular relining of the distal extensions*

I don't think regular relining improves the situation when there is additional load, it might improve things when there is resorption.
I believe light occlusion improves the situation when there is additional load, correct me if I am wrong!

Q2.TETRACYCINES
1. Have no side effects
2. may increase susceptibility to superinfections*********
3. are safe to use during pregnancy
4. have a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity.**********

A. 2 and 4***********
B. 4 only
what is the difference betwen superinfection and suprainfection???

Superinfection

Superinfection (suprainfection) may occur with the tetracyclines, particularly the older, more poorly absorbed ones when given orally. Because of their broad spectrum of activity, activity against commensal organisms of the gut, and effective concentration in the gut, they nearly always alter the intestinal flora. This may occur within 24 to 48 hours, but these changes are not always clinically evident as diarrhea. It is not unusual to find superinfection with yeasts or resistant pathogenic bacteria. Although frowned upon by the FDA, commercial preparations of tetracyclines combined with nystatin (an oral antifungal) have been prepared to help combat superinfection with yeasts. Many authorities believe that because such superinfections do not always occur, there is less risk to the patient if one waits until there is evidence of yeast superinfection before beginning therapy.
