2. sorry zahnfee for not answering your posts before coz i didn't have confidence to do that and hadn't studied the mcqs yet. i agree with zahnfee that we should start discussing mcqs, how about starting from next week? and can we do like 150 per week? so next week we will be concetrating on Q1-150...............

Thanks Zhanfee, for the tips. Drill I hope the little one is in best of health by now and u r getting back to work. take care Drill.🙂

Rain1 R the photocopies clear in its text i mean the Cawson and Broucher mcq which u got from dentsupply? How much r they costing per book? r they worth it?😕😕

Who ever got OET materials can u plz list all the speaking topics role plays they haveor got like somali and sonpari mentioned briefly?



Hi Dentmumaussi, How come you never heard about Cawson and and Broucher mcq. Any way the Photocopy of Cawson and Broucher mcq are clear and readable. With out these Books I don’t think you can clear your Theory examination. Most dentist know about and every one is running after it. It is not worth reading 1000 quastion bank and MCQ rather one should read the latest question bank and MCQ.

I think you are still planning to give OET and discussing about Theory and clinical in advance. If you start counting money you will never be able to get your licence in Australia. Total cost of getting a licence is around $ 55,000 to $70,000 including OET Theory, Training study materials and clinical. If you are smart, this can be cut short by saving on books and study materials and some part of the training.

These examinations are not very hard if you can read the Books to the Point and short note. Many of the Books you only need to read some chapters. If you need further help just email me I will answer you point by point.
Cheers

hi rain 1 could you calculate the $ 55,000 to $70,000 in detail for us? thank you

 

[drill]

how old are these books that they are unavailable for most of us? and in which country were they published. Iam just wondering that i cannot find them in a medical library in the UK. they are so highly praised by many people. what`s the secret?

iam still looking for people who are preparing for the prelim and like to discuss the 1000 question-bank. i wrote one Q in this forum and got only one reply.🙁

i think boucher is from 70s, and cawson is from 80s

1.Tetracycline hydrochloride conditioning of root surface in periodontal surgery is to:

A.Sterilise the root surface
B.May enhance binding of fibronectin and fibroblast
C.Aids in re-mineralising the root surface
D.Assist the biding of lamina dura
E.erative infections

even i am not sure abt this thing that teracycline hydrochloride enhance binding of fibronectin and fibroblast but i think it can only help in sterlising the root surface only

i think as well that its answer a. i found thats is to locally eliminate the bacteries. but iam not quite happy with the term "sterilise" and "root surface" as it eliminate the bacteries in the periodontal pocket.
always happu for more suggestions

so for tooth surface its main function is to remove the smear layer and expose collegen and help binding?

zahnfee can you give me some reference?

 

[dentmumaussi]

Selective use of tetracycline HCl was studied to evaluate a potential treatment methodology. Tetracycline HCl adsorbed to dentin surfaces, binding 4.7 μg/mm2 after a 5 min exposure to a 50 mg/ml tetracycline HCl solution. Desorption in a discontinuous flow assay maintained biologically active concentrations of tetracycline HCl in the fluid phase for at least 48 h. The tetracycline HCl bound, and subsequently released from dentin retained antimicrobial activity with an ID50 of 3.7 μg/ml. Tetracycline HCl conditioning removed an amorphous surface layer, thereby exposing dentin with open tubules, as determined by scanning electron microscopy. These data suggest that tetracycline HCl-treated root surfaces may act as a depot for release of active antibiotic, as well as serve as an improved substrate for connective tissue components vital to healing at the interface between hard and soft tissues.

Tetracylcline HCL treatment has been considered effective chemical modality for decontamination and detoxification of contaminate implant surface.

So the answer i guess is A...sterilize

okay tetracyclineHCL is acidic . this causes colllagen fibrils to get exposed on the cementum thus causing bond between fibronectin and fibroblast between connectivetissue and cementum during periodontal surgery. read this in cranzza

 

[drill]

I agree.
I think the confusion comes from "tetracycline"

because tetracycline as an antibiotic can also be locally applied in periodontal pockets to serve as topical medication.

but " tetracycline HCL" is an acidic agent for tooth surface conditioning in periodontal surgery, of which the main purpose is to rebuild the periodontal structure.

opinions pls

 

[dentmumaussi]

Yeah, now i agree that it's b coz dentine surface conditioning with THCL has been shown to influence in vivo fibroblast attachment and fibroactin binding to THCl or minocycline treated dentin surfaces.
In vitro studies properties revealed that surface demineralization with THCl enhances binding of matrix protein to dentin and stimulates fibroblast attachment and growth. THCl has added benefits than other chelating agents....in antimicrobial activity.
Thanks drill and neetanihal for clearly the doubts and i went back/ read the carranze👍👍

Hi there,
Would it be very simple if you just tell us here or in private about your identity first then outline the help dot points you would be able to provide?!!
Very simple, trust us we trust in you.and why all these identity checks if you wanna just help???? We are not applying for a job or OTC here.
please come forward and tell us what can you do first.
I think we are all here because we are genuinly overseas Qualified dentists,we are not here to mark around and chat ! so we dont have to identify or proove anything. you are the one who wants to "help" so just do it.
just wanna remind you of the privacy Act in AUS. if you are not familiar with it.

remember to use the strategy of: Tell, Show and Do... have a good day mate

Thanks drill and neetanihal for clearly the doubts and i went back/ read the carranze👍👍

any perio questions doubts i can clear with my friend in states.
i have other question doubts.
question 34 as far as surgical removal of the wisdom tooth which of the following is true?

 

[navprax]

i think answer is A prophylatic antibiotics can help in reducing post operative swelling moreover they can also help in reducing infection befoe surgry which will help anesthesia to work properly

 

[zahnfee]

so for tooth surface its main function is to remove the smear layer and expose collegen and help binding?

zahnfee can you give me some reference?

i found in fundamentals of periodontics by thomas g.wilson & kenneth s.kornmann:
page 418 topic tetracycline fibers:
"tetracycline fibers are flexible ethylene vinyl actate fibers loaded with 25% tetracycline hydrochloride. tetracycline is bacteriostatic in systemic forms, but it is bactericidal in the high concentrations delivered in the gingival sulcus. it is a substantive, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, which means it kills the antagonistic or beneficial bacteria, as well as the pathogens."

so it seems to be more answer a (sterilisation of root surface)

i do not have the carranza to have a look what its said in there

#2: Any Canada/US dental grads out there? How hard are the ADC exams compared to NDEB I/II or the Canadian board exam?

#3 Anyone have experience with the Trans-tasman mutual recognition act? It is much easier for me to become registered in NZ, wondering how hard it would be to go from NZ to Oz if you were a registered Dentist in NZ.

Thanks in advance

Why would it be easier to become registered in NZ?

 

[Echinopora]

Why would it be easier to become registered in NZ?

NZ recognizes dental degrees from Oz, UK, US and Canada. Australia only recognizes dental degrees from UK and Oz. So if I go to NZ I should be able to skip the qualification and clinical exams and head straight to the conditions of practice test (NZCOP) which is 2hr open book.

However the TTMRA says that someone registered for practice in NZ should be able to practice in Oz. I don't know how well this holds in practice.

That's what I'm trying to figure out

Here is what the Australian dental council says
"
Under the Mutual Recognition Act 1992, subject to certain conditions, if a person is registered to practise an occupation in one State or Territory they can carry out an equivalent occupation in any other State or Territory. Under the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Arrangement (TTMRA) individuals registered or licensed to practise an occupation in New Zealand are entitled to practise the equivalent occupation in any Australian State and Territory and visa versa. The Mutual Recognition Act and the TTMRA apply irrespective of where training was undertaken."

I have sent emails to the dental council but they have referred me to other organizations that have not answered the question. I'll keep working on it and let you know when I find the answer

Rob

i think answer is A prophylatic antibiotics can help in reducing post operative swelling moreover they can also help in reducing infection befoe surgry which will help anesthesia to work properly

Where there is signf. bone removal, prolonged operatn time, or the pat. is at incr.risk of infec, it is common practice to prescribe antibiotics.However, the limited evidence avail. is insuff. to make a recommendation on the routine use of antibiotics for third molar removal.
In severe cases, where there is acute infect. at the time of operation,signif. bone removal,prolong opt time, anti. should not be withheld. 😕
Where there is a risk of significant postoperative swelling, pre--operative administration of dexamethasone or methyl prednisolone has been shown to reduce swelling and discomfort.
A Preoperative steroids should be considered (unless contraindicated) where there is a risk of significant postoper. swelling.
The routine use of antib. in third molar surgery is not advised. NSAIDs may also be helpful in reducing post-operative swelling.
"Dexamethasone resulted in a significant reduction in pain 4 h postoperatively, and eliminated the need for opioid analgesia in the postoperative period. The incidence of severe swelling was also reduced significantly, but there was no effect an trismus. Postoperative nausea and vomiting were significantly lower in the dexamethasone group. We conclude that the use of prophylactic oral dexamethasone is useful in reducing postoperative analgesia requirements in this group of patients, and may facilitate surgery performed on a day case basis accor.1B.R. Baxendale, FRCA, Registrar, Department of Anaesthesia, and Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Dudley west Midland."
I can't decide whether it is B or C. studies shown now days more emphasis on selective use of antibiotic to stop the growing trend of bacterial resistance and it's complications.
How can u convince me? what is view here in Australia and acc to examiner?any ref. for B ans?🙁

[neetanihal]

hi zahnfee, in my opinion, it hasn't mentioned "conditioning of tooth surface" and that is the knowledge point the examiner wants us to know?

just a guess.............this is an ugly Q

they charge 1150us dollars and the training is all online.

 

[Echinopora]

For me personally, I'm young, I have no attachments and I'd like to travel a bit. If I could spend some time in NZ and Oz without having to spend years re-training, then I'd be all for it. The part of Canada I grew up in is cold, winter for 6months, spring and fall each about a month and a half and 3 months of summer. It gets so cold you can shatter a steel wrench if you throw it at the ground.

Dentistry in North America is a great career. If you want to make lot's of money there are many rural positions that will pay 800-950 USD a day for a new grad working 8 hours. If you want to live somewhere nice like California new grads have to settle for 300-400USD for an 8 hour day. There are lot's of good jobs in Australia too, and in towns that are on the coast with great weather. I would love to practice in South Nz, Margaret River, Geraldton or in the rural area north of Brisbane.

If there are any other north americans, I found out today that you can practice in NT if you sign a 2 year contract with public dentistry, and work towards your ADC while you are there.

i just found an article on the internet in which its said to demineralize the root surface, remove the smear layer, uncovering and widening the orifices of the dentine tubules and exposing the dentin collagen matrix.
and the collagen exposure is a chemoattractant for periodontal fibroblasts. ...

[FONT=Times New Roman,Times,serif]Dear Friends,
I have a collection of materials like dental decks and Mcqs ,oet material and other study resources which I downloaded earlier from common mail. drill was the first person to take such step but his efforts were wasted . in the forum i found that many people are asking for that common mail account to be started again . i asked drill and sonpari to reactivate the account but they told me that there are people who deleted last adc papers as they don't want them to be exposed .now you are intelligent enough to understand that who these people are ???? i asked for identification to make sure that person is really preparing for exams and he/she will take good care of account............ this account is very much similar to old account ,
in this forum every body has chosen some words for their id like king tut ,odonta, composita ........etc i chose adc help so what is big deal in that............ everybody is hiding his identity.
if u have objections I am there to close the account anytime . As I can save my time without headaches for identifications and telling a secret codes.

I have a collection of materials like dental decks and Mcqs ,oet material and other study resources which I downloaded earlier from common mail. drill was the first person to take such step but his efforts were wasted . in the forum i found that many people are asking for that common mail account to be started again . i asked drill and sonpari to reactivate the account but they told me that there are people who deleted last adc papers as they don't want them to be exposed .now you are intelligent enough to understand that who these people are ???? i asked for identification to make sure that person is really preparing for exams and he/she will take good care of account............ this account is very much similar to old account ,
in this forum every body has chosen some words for their id like king tut ,odonta, composita ........etc i chose adc help so what is big deal in that............ everybody is hiding his identity.
if u have objections I am there to close the account anytime . As I can save my time without headaches for identifications and telling a secret codes.
thanks
Adc help..

Hi There ADC Help,
So why do you need to check identity if you can not make sure that I am applying for ADC exams? How would you know that if I tell you my name is Mohamed for example! Is that good enough for you to open the door for help? Just to let you know that it is not that hard to creat email account and tell you any names and any country..unless you can Hack and read the IP.
I am not sure what is your point !! You make it hard for everyone to trust in you and harder for yourself to get our trust.
Does that make sense?
Cheers

Hi ADC Helpline, You mean there r people who r selling the stuff for money have deleted the acc which contained the materials or it could be ADC officials themselves? So. how do we convince u that some of us r really in need of help and want to give exams for sure?
Somehow, I'm apprehensive revealing identity to u as we don't know who u really r?

hi dentmumaussie & neetanihal& zanfee,
What I learned from my experience ....is what we all know....
there is no subsitute to hard work.1000 mcqs are helpful .but finding out why the answer is right is also important.prelims are easy .the Qs are straight forward and expected.Lack of preparation is the only reason for flunking this one.what say the seniors????

I read all the posts, its amazing to see and know that theres a group willing to exchange info and help. Thanx every1 contributing to this forum.
Thanx to Andreas for intro- info (prev. forum).

One question I have for now is.. am I allowed to take OET before I obtain my degree/diploma?? or is this pre-requisite according to ADC??
I contacted OET, they dont know anything about this..and waiting for a reply from ADC will take, weeell, I will probably be practising dentistry in Oz till then, I suppose 🙄 ... Anyone familiar w/ situation? I just want to rush things a bit, and not be lagging anymore..
thanx!
