THANKS
CHU

hi , probably a tourist visa for attending tests only ?

 

[drill]

I will try to review the mcq and go back to books to clear any doubts. Also read Odell e Oxford hand book. I have been reading the Dental decks and I found helpfull. I guess we don't have much time to walk around anymore, we just need to focus on the exam itself. 🙄
How about yourself?
Cheers
Cacau

hi cacaums sorry for missing your reply here. myself is doing the same

 

[drill]

according to me it should be the anterior cranial base..as u can can measure it from broadbent point..you need atleast one stable point to keep as reference so dat u can evaluate..the diff or study the cranio facial growth pattern..since the question is to evaluate growth..the ans acc to me should be ant cranial base..can look into reference to support this..

hi thanks dear alldent
could you give me a reference for this ? Ta ~

Hi
If you want to come to Australia for ADC exams then you can apply for 'visit visa'. As you know visit visa is only for 3 monthes so if you want to attend some other course like OTC which is of 20 weeks duration then you would need more time in Australia.
If you are asking about some other course like MPH etc, then you have to apply for study visa. Please explain clearly would you want to know.

hi cacau see if this help you . it shows that major cities excluding brisbane have been water fluoridated.


http://www.health.vic.gov.au/environment/downloads/wf_aust_and_vic_maps.pdf

on ada website they have a 9 year health plan that you can download.

in there , there is short term plan (2004-2006) stating that water fluoridation be implemented for populations larger than 1000. but i didn't find any review of this plan yet.

Hi
"Fluoride containing compounds such as sodium fluoride, calcium fluoride, and sodium monofluorophosphate are commonly added to toothpaste, drinking water, prescribed treatments".
This is actually a general information about the water floridation in the whole world but I will try to find out specifically about Australia. I think its calcium fluoride in Australia but since I am not sure that is why I have to do some more research and then let you know.
I must appreciate that you have asked an interesting question.
Cheers
Dr. Melbourne

 

[Cacaums]

Thanks Drill for the websites. Thanks Dr Melbourne for the interest.
I checked them and:


In areas where artificial fluoridation of the reticulated water supply has been
Implemented it is undertaken after clarification and chlorination of the water. It is
achieved mainly by the use of compounds such as sodium hexafluorosilicate
(Na2SiF6) in a slurry, fluorosilicic acid (H 2SiF6) in solution, or occasionally sodium
fluoride (NaF) in a saturated solution, added as a weighed dose to a given rate of
water flow.
Regional variations in the optimal levels of fluoride in artificially fluoridated water
range from 0.6 ppm in the tropical climate of Darwin to 1.1 ppm in temperate
Hobart (NHMRC, 1996; HCS, 1993). Outside metropolitan areas there is often no
water fluoridation, and so Australians in many major regional centres and remote
areas are not receiving optimally fluoridated water. In Victoria, for example the
major regional centres of Geelong, Ballarat, and Wodonga remain unfluoridated
because of local resistance to the practice.

I do recommend to read through the paper because we must know that not only because the exam but also (AND MOST IMPORTANT) because we will practice dentistry in Australia. So go to ADA website.

Thanks guys
Cheers
Cacau

the ans i am posting i am sure of em..will double check others n post the answers.. regarding tobacoo it is the redox potential which favors growth of an bact..
and the most stable area in the cranium is the ant cranial base..are u sure u have the rite choices..

n in case of dentist injury..it would be hep b antibodies..
n in case of pulp horn exposure..it would be mb of lower 1st molar..but u gotta make sure wich dentition is it primary or sec..

amalgam restoration: the first sign wen u shopuld think of replacing the filling is the ditching of edges..as in otha choices it would be already late for replacemtne and would have become a case of rct..or sedative dressing..

hey chu this is me again..
i dont wanna dishearten you but i would like you to know the real picture..first: getting a job as dental assistant..is next to impossible..even afetr clearing step 1 its been 4 months..that i havent got one..now lets say you work go to coll n then cook..n then clean do laundry..do you htink u will have time to study..or even the energy..my advise would be that you take up adc step 1 at home..n then you can coem here n study fro step 2..
dis is my experience i am tellin you this..rest if you wanna know about visa n all i can surely tell you the easy option..
but do decide..there is absolutely no hurry..in getting here..you can in july session or jan or nov..so as soon as you clear step 1 you can come here..rest its your choice..take care..hope it helps..as it is very hard to study for adc n work n plus do some course..

 

[Cacaums]

Hi Alldent,

I must disagree with you regarding dental assistant job. I work in a dental clinic and they have been looking for a DA for months and most of their DA are international dentists. Took me just few days to find a job and I didn’t speak English very well at that time.
I’m sure that all depends where you live and how you search for a job, but you should try it again with a different approach (if you really want so..)
I totally recommend work as a DA because gives you a good idea about work environment in Australia plus you keep in touch with dental materials and patients. Regarding time, you can work part time, actually most of the jobs are part time.
It’s just my experience that I am happy to share with you guys.🙄

Hi
1)Frist of all finding a job really depends on your location e.g. its a little bit difficult in Sydney and not that much difficult in Melbourne. I got my job like after applying for 2 weeks on seek.com
2) The job are useually full time and not part. But you can try to find out a part time job.
3) Its is really difficult to study with the full time job but ofcourse you can study with the part time one.
4) My advice to you would be to pass the preliminary exam in your own country , then come to Australia , find a part time job and along that start your preperation for the clinicals. your job will help you greatly in the preperation of your clincial exam.
Cheers
Dr. Melbourne

 

[Cacaums]

Dear Chu and Dr. Melbourne.

I am in touch with many dental workers and what they say about Sydney is that the market for DA is very demanding because the increase of part time jobs, so the oz dont want to work part time, that is why they are hiring international dentists instead.
I dont know about Melbourne, but I can say that Sydney is not bad to get a job but I must agree with you that is better clear prelim first and come to AU, but it's a good idea to visit AU just to make sure if like the place.
It's all about choices that you have to make according with your life style and interests. It's tough to move from your country and settle here.

Cheers

Hi All,
I came from Mexico and I have been looking for a job as dental assistant in Sydney for about 6 weeks. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I live in North Sydney and I have the student visa with permission to work. I knew that I would have more chances to get a job as DA if I had Australian resident. Is it true?
Thanks in advance,

Hi
Yes, that is true that having permanent Australian residency incerases your chances to get a permanent job but it doesn't mean that you would not be able to find a job at all. Keep trying and I am sure you will find a job.
The important thing is to re-assess your methods which you are applying for job hunting at the moment. Modify your resume, improve your cover letters. A good resume and cover letter are the key to find job here in Australia, as before meeting you actually they see your resume and cover letters. Use every way to find out job like inter net, news papers, cold calling and 'net working' . It needs alot of smartness here in Australia to get a job. All this was tought to me in my 'career palnning classes'
Best of luck with your job search.
Cheers
Dr. Melbourne

Hi you all!
I must appreciate that some of the members on the forum are very good at giving the right title to the post which helps a lot in reading the old post and finding some specific topic. I hope, all the members do so.
Cheers
Dr. Melbourne

 

[Cacaums]

I think that Dr Melbourne is right. Change your approach. Sometimes they think that an overseas dentist is "overqualified" for the position so you may need to enphasize your dental assistant abilities. You dont need to lie, but you can omit that you are a dentist and tell them after they like you. It's just a idea...I dont know what are you doing so far..

Hi Guys i Have some doubts

its from the sep 2004 paper

1. Ideal length of core
is i2/3rd of the crwn length

2. while finishing a class 1 cavity the enamel is cut nut u notice a brown line in the dentin and DEJ . what ia ur response?

3. True degardin TMJ dysfunction?
a-raisin bite increses the space in the joint ans shd be attempted before surg
b-mostly due to medial movt of condylar head over glenoid fossa

the ans in the book is the first option but i think its b
please comment

3. Following ca(oh)2 pulpotomy would you expect dentin bridge to form
a- level some where below the amputation
b- exact level of amputation
c- at apical regin
d- half way betwen amputatin and apex

q1 The minimum length of the post is equal to the length of the clinical crown. The recommended length is two-thirds the length of the root in bone while maintaining 5 mm of gutta-percha at the apex. Remember chances of a perforation increase as the length of the post approaches the apex of the tooth.

q2 probe it and if its hard and without cavitation its probably arrested caries, leave it as it is
and if its soft u need to remove ....any comments????

q3 i agree with u ans shud be b

hi sonpari
Q2, if the equipment has caused an open wound on the dentist, for the sake of the patient, we still need infection control right? 🙄 so i think it's reasonable to check dentist's immuno status? please comment?

Q4, d need rct, and rest all needs replacement?

If you have got some clinical experiance, you can apply for 'skill based immigration' or if you have some blood relative in Australia having PR or citizenship, he/she can sponser you. You can also come on visit visa but that would be only for 3 monthes and you can not work in that duration.
I am not sure but I think you can get a visa for attending courses like OTC. You can confirm it from the Australian embassy/council there in your own counrty.
It is not possible at all to work as dental assisstant and also attend OTC course ( as you mentioned this is your plan) at the same time because OTC is an extensive course and you attend it from early morning till late evening+ you have to study and take the tests also.
Best of luck with your career
Cheers
Dr. Melbourne

cDear Dr Melbourne,
Thank you for the valuable info, makes life easier.
Could you please forward the soft copy of the mcq's1060 to the following id - [email protected]
To be very honest , your blogs are quite interesting and very useful for a novice user like me on SDN.,🙂
thanx again.

Hi
yes you are right that I have cleared my preliminary last september.
For preliminary exam, you should study as much as you can but i can tell you a few recommended books which will increase your awarness about preperation for prelimniary exams.
1) oxford hand book of clinical dentistry
2) Clinical problem solving in dentistry by W. D. odell
3) comprehensive review of denitsrry by leious J. Boucher
4) question bank/1060 MCQs
5) Cowson for MCQs

I will much appreciate if you can send me the soft copy of clincial exam material on [email protected]
alternatively if you require 1060 MCQs , please advise as I have a soft copy.
With regards

hi sonpari
Q2, if the equipment has caused an open wound on the dentist, for the sake of the patient, we still need infection control right? 🙄 so i think it's reasonable to check dentist's immuno status? please comment?

Q4, d need rct, and rest all needs replacement?

Q6 , can you explaine the difference between the two answers?

Q9, what is caries immuno-suppressive? i think this choice is weird.
and i think a is true .....

please check for me

hi drill

q2 here the dentist is in me case is my case and in ur case is u
and i nt sure but my logic says we as dentist shud be knnowing our immune status ...so do we need to check...???......i guess others like doc melb shud comment....

q4 my reasoning is ----replace with wat ???
replace ag with ag or ag with something else ....
and i assumed replace the filling thats it let be anything ...
now wonder wat we are suppose to assume in general prespective we both are right .....pl .............pl..............wer are rest .....
participate ...in it give ur comments

q6 An abnormal change in the lesion that has a good chance of turning into cancer but is not yet cancerous is premalignant lesion

A noninvasivelesion with a predictable likelihood of becoming malignant; e.g., actinic keratosis.

q9 no idea dear

pl add ur comments frens
cheers

 

[sonpari]

actually this question is a bit foolish, if the dentist has punched finger, why wouldn't he change the equipment to a sterilised one before working on the patient.........

yes boss
agreed

cheers

Hey guys thank you so much for all replies
it was really useful
i a few more doubts, i would be greatful if u could give me ur comments

1 .which of the following is not a characteristic of GIC
a-strong in compression st but weak in tensile
b-matrix is formed during intial set
c-sets via ion exchange reaction tht continues @ least 24hrs
d-suitable for use as a core build up mat in ant teeth
e-all

a and d are characteristics
but i have my doubts abt c or d
which one do u guys think is not a characteristic




2 shd smear layer be removed before bonding

coz oxfd handbook of clinical dentistry says- the smear layer is completely / partially removed and / or modified during dentin bonding


3 Burnishing of amalgam is to
a- bring gamma 2 to the surface
b--dec microporosity
c -force unreacted particles closer tog to minimize residual hg
d -work hardens amalgam
e -eliminates the need to polish the restoration


4 - 8 yr old patient comes with treatment

Ellis Cl 3 an hour after injury pulp cappin
2mm pulp exposure and comes next day pulpectomy and apexification

2mm pulp exposure after 3hrs remove1-2mm of
pulp tis & place
ca(oh)2


these are the answers for the different ?s
please comment on whether thy r right



5 - After orthodontically extruding a tooth how long do u hold it in retention before prosthetically restorin the tooth

a - 8 to 10 weeks
b - 6 mnths

both the answers are supposed be current from differnt sources
but which is the answer


6 - premature loss of pri canine
a- mesial drift
b--distal drift
c - supra eruption


8 Pri teeth begin to calcify between ---------------- and -------------- month IU
the ans is 2 and 4 months
but i think it is 4 and 6 months


9 Int Resorption
is caused by trauma
but the ans is it is caused by Chr pulpitis is it true


10 Powder component of IRM
a- Ethoxy benzoic acid(EBA) with MethylMetha Acrylate (MMA)
b -ZnO with EBA
c- ZnO with AlO
d -ZnO with MMA
e -ZnO with Ethylmetha acryla
the ans is a but i think its e


Thank you

Hi Racheal!
Most of your asked MCQs are present in 'Boucher' with clear explanation.
Sorry to say but some of the given options with your MCQs doesn't make any sense.

q1 acid base reaction between the acidic polyelectrolyte and the aluminosilicate glass. The polyacid attacks the glass particles (also called leaching) to release cations and Fluoride ions. These ions probably metal fluoride complexes react with Polyanions to form a salt gel matrix. The Al3+ ions appear to be site bound resulting matrix resistance to flow, unlike the zinc Polyacrylate matrix. During the initial setting in the first 3 hours Calcium ions react with polycarboxylate chains. Subsequently, the trivalent Aluminum ions react for at least 48 hours.The structure of the fully set cement is a composite of glass particles surrounded by silica gel in a matrix of Polyanions cross-linked by ionic bridges. Within the matrix are small particles of Silica gel containing fluorite crystallites
(philips)

Some dentists favour glass ionomers cements for cores, in view of the apparent ease of placement, adhesion, fluoride release, and matched coefficient of thermal expansion. Silver containing GICs (eg the cermet, Ketac Silver, Espe GMbH, Germany) or the 'miracle mix' of GIC and unreacted amalgam alloy have been especially popular. Some believe the silver within the material enhances its physical and mechanical properties

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_ionomer_cement)

answer shud be c

q2 the dentine smear layer should be removed to enhance the bonding between tooth and gic ...they say that self etching primer permeates the smear layer ...which is still being investigated ...so proabably that is the reason its mentioned in oxford like that. the thickness of smear layer is concern ...so the studies are still on
but undoubtedly remova; of smear layer ..enhances the bond strength..

q3 c
my answer would depend on further points as well
if its precarve burnishing then its done for condensing malgam at margins (sturdevants )
if used immediately after condensing then the dentist uses burnisher to remove excess mercury and post carve burnishing helps in poilishing whish is nt even required in high copper amalgum as burnishing suffices
so i am nt sure pl check the ques fully and answer..

q4 direct pulp capping is proceedure carried out only when there is less than 1m of pulp exposure
for exposure of more than 1mm or more u carry out caoh puplotomy since the kid is 8 yer old and root is nt formed ,pulpotomy will induce root formation by apexogenesis ...even if theere is 3-4mm of vital apical tissue there are fair chances of apexogenesis

apexification is method to induce dev of immature pulpless tooth ..whis ruled out in this case

so in m opinion both are wrong

so be it 3 hrs or 1hr line of treatmnet would be pulpotomy followed definitive therapy after pulpotomy is successful. with inbetween recalls to check for internal resorption as caoh producess sometimes int resorption

q10 Composition.

(1) Powder. The powder is composed of 80 percent zinc oxide and 20 percent polymethyl methacrylate (the powder used for acrylic resin).​

(2) Liquid. The liquid is 99 percent eugenol and 1 percent acetic acid.​

(philips)​

so the answer shud be a​

ill be posting rest answers in eve​

bye for nw​

cheers​

933991. When restoring with composite resins, why do we do the cavo surface bevelling:​

A. Aesthetic

I thought should be increasing the contact area between composite and dentine??​

963. Why don't we use porcelain in long span bridge works: ​

A. Because of the high casting shrinkage of porcelain ​

we can use ceremic-metal for long span bridge, so why the question? is it refering to full ceremic?​

956. The roughest surface on cut tooth structure:​

A. Cross cut fissures at ultra speed ​

Dont' understand the question ​

949. What is NOT a result of toxic dosage of local anaesthetic:​

*A. Angioneurotic oedema-----allergic reaction...??should this be the answer?

B. Hypotension------cns reaction

C. Respiratory depression----anaphylactic ??? respiratory failure ?
D. Hypertension-----cns reaction​

I think A is allergic reaction ......but C could the result of CNS failure? ​

938. How would you treat hyperaemia (hyperaemic tooth):** ​

A. Zinc Oxide and eugenol cement

B. Calcium hydroxide

*C. Corticosteroid paste ​

Is that reversible hyperaemia, are we not trying to put desensitising agent first such as sodium fluoride paste? ​

933. A patient has been coming to your clinic for several times complaining about soreness under the denture, what would you do: ​

A. Check occlusion of lower buccal cusps ​

good work sonpari👍

I think q2 I have discussed before, smear layer doesn't have to be removed, as you said , in the case of self etching primer/bond, the smear layer just need to be modified its structure to better incorparate with composite.....
