ADEX/CDCA at NYU Oct 2024

[mmmmdonut]

Hi guys,

I'm taking the upcoming ADEX at NYU as an outside test taker. Fortunately NYU provides outside test takers all the equipment and materials the students have access to. Can someone share a picture of the burs available? The Site Info Sheet is super blurry and isn't really helpful. Also, are all the students buying specific burs because they're not provided by the school but are especially helpful?

I am on the same boat too. I was wondering that would they provide mannikin, head shroud, mounting pole, 2 typho sets along with the necessary materials and equipments? Also, are we having any orientation before exam?

I have a friend who's still connected with NYU faculty and the attached pictures were shared with me. Not an awesome selection of burs, but it should be enough to achieve the goals of the exam. I'm thinking about bringing an Endo Z bur with me..

All the other things you asked about should be made available to us. I think there's a virtual orientation like a week or so before the exam.

Do you know how many total hours would we get for both restorative exam? Can we start either with class 2 or 3 as we like ??

Candidate guide says 7 hours.
I think you can start with whichever you like. You just have to restore one and get it graded before prepping the other one.

Thank you for your reply. I was also wondering guidelines says 1 mm axial depth from cavosurface margin for maxillary lateral incisors for restorative exam but 1mm includes enamel thickness only and caries is usually under DEJ so that means once we reach 1 mm we have to ask for modification to extend axial depth everytime, am I getting the guideline right? What do you think?

I think you're right. I'm just going to start with 1mm and keep pushing it to include caries. If I hit 1mm from DEJ and there's still axial wall caries, I'll ask for a mod request.

I just practiced on a test tooth yesterday and found myself chasing an orange stain at the DEJ. I've heard some say that hard staining must be removed as well. Can you confirm?
I feel you can really dig yourself into a huge problem if you chase staining at the DEJ and undermine a bunch of enamel...
