Hi everyone!

I have taken the EE in May this year and a bit disappointed with my 80% score. So, i will give it another try this September. Those of you who have taken the exam and planning to take it again, let's share those questions that we have remembered and discuss the answers thru private e-mail.

thank you and goodluck

Base plate fits master cast but not the patient:
distorted impression
casting error
pouring of master cast was wrong
patients tissues changed

1,2,3
1,3
2,4
4 olny
all of the above

cast is the culprit so 1,2 3

b lingual
c mesial
d distal
why? and what's strip-perforated?

that's the key.
what's the time limit for direct pulp capping?

key is a,why not b?
