welll.. thanks but it does not show how many questions asked from each subject.. i guess someone was talking about it on this same thread.. .. and also i am not able to find which materials ADA recommends for reading.. (if any) 🙂

Hello dontist,

if you will follow the link, the PDF file of 37 pages come up & page 36 & 37 shows the distribution of number of questions from each subject & topics as well....
 
oh so silly of me.. lol.. thanks a lot ... 🙂...

read whole 35 pages.. got frustrated .. and left the last two pages.. lol.. where exactly it was.. ha ha ha.. thanks..

lets get back to studies... 🙂
 
Hello,
I found this thread very intresting and innovative.
Well,I am planning to take test of part2 in 4 mos time and i have not started reading seriously. What is the study plan? Is it this way, try to finish for eg ortho(deck+mosby) in a week time and start another......

Good luck for the preparation and keep going.......one day we will become Dentist of U.S😍


Thank you.
 
@sarika & all CONQUERERS i guess till saturday oral surgery.. sunday we strt with periodontics...
@bansbari its just like we decide a subject, go wid it till everyone is comfortable with schedule...discuss doubts....
so guys what is going on today.. i aim finishing decks today...going wid mosby's tomo... how about you????
 
Hi toothfairyqueen how do you manage to finish the decks so fast? It concerns me as I am not even done with half and struggling to keep my eyes open and mind focussed as I shuffle through each card.. Can you please tell me how u actually do it?? Thanks
 
yesterday i said i aim to... but i cud not 🙂 me too struggling with decks... 30 cards left
 
Thanks for your response. I was wondering if you were super human LOL 😉...Anyways I was wondering if we could start with Pharma instead of Perio because it is one of the most difficult subject and I kind of want it out of my way before venturing into Perio and Prostho and also with a little bit of drugs coverage in OS would be reinforced.. Let me know what you think..

Happy reading guys.
 
i agree with sarika pharma makes sense after surgery ,especially the drugs n anesthesia go together with rest of pharma .since we r in the mode y not do that first and then start perio??? n thanks for clearing that too toothfairy even I got paniked n couldnt study n felt i wasnt exerting enuf....lol 😉
 
Hello....friends, I m getting motivation by reading ur posts. This is a great thread. Wt r ur updates n preparation? I m still struggling with decks.I don't know why it is boring today? Keep going..........
 
hello friends , after we finish mosby and decks are doing any mcqs too?or old question papers...we could discuss some questions too.
 
hey guys.. so pharmacology begins today rite??? i hope all are done with oral surgery.... good luck with pharm.. keep up the good work!!!
 
yes pharma ,,,,but im left with surgery n will start pharma tomorrow IA
 
@toothfairyqueen:I need some information from you,i have found that from other thread that you are registered dental assistant.In which state did you do your RDA Exam.When i found that people with no ssn like me (as I'm on my h4 dependent) cannot take the exam .If you have any information regarding this,please can you throw me some light asap.I'm sorry to disturb you and thanks in advance.
 
Hey toothfairyqueen,

I also want to know process to become RDA. I am just lost and not able to find any information regarding it. Please could you help me with it.
Are you still working as DA and preparing for exam?
Thank you in advance...
Good luck for the preparation.
 
Completed adrenergic, anesthetic and anti anxiety agents, I am going very slow
What you guys up to..
 
Remember slow n steady wins the race. Mine is going slow as well. I am still working on aesthetics 🙁
 
i am done with terms/def, adrenergic/ cholinergic...... too slow i know.... how about you guys???? remember pharm has just 31 questions... least marks carrying subject....but its too vast to choose those 31 ques... is like either we know or we dont.... rule of isolation hardly works on pharm ques. so we gotta do it thorough!!!!

First of all thanks for this thread!!
Hey do you have any idea if they ask trade names of drugs in real exam?
 
well based on the marks distribution on ADA websites looks like pharmaco-kinetic principles, anti infective, anesthetics, adrenergic/cholinergic carry the most weightage... what do u guys think??
 
where have you reached guys.. I am still to finish.... Pharm seems never ending???? no posts in 2 days???? wat happened.... i guess no worries abt nyu/bu should afffect our studies.... if they have to call, they wud.. worrying wont solve.. lets pack up like a ready warrior for next cycle... coz we gotta apply with great part 2 score as NEXT CYCLE opens......
i need encouragement too 🙁
common docs!!!!
lets dont make each other feel left out... thts wat i am into 🙁
 
have you guys taken the date for exam...??? coz i took... 10-11 april... hmmmmm sacryyyyyyy but i cnt study till i cn see the DATE HIGHLIGHTED
 
oh God pharma is soooooooooo draggging , havent been productive for last 2 days taking looooooooooooooooooooong breaks to avoid studying so im switching to perio for now , and return to pharma later !
 
i am too onto perio... going to drag pharm along.... or it cant finish alone!!! good luck conquerers!!!
 
I am going to start Perio too .. Pharma is never ending subject for me ...
 
I am new here. need a little kick start from you guys.
Want to start studying for part 2. I would appreciate if anyone could list down the study material i should study for this.
in what fashion..i mean which one first and so on.

I also want to welcome anyone who is interested in studying with me..do PM me.


thank you.

Hi guys how is the studying going? I hope everyone is staying motivated n focused. 👍
 
hey guys.. i am done with perio......going to strt prostho from tomo.... whats gng on ur side???? no updates.....
 
hey friends r u preparing from mosby and deck or only one of either?
 
hey friends r u preparing from mosby and deck or only one of either?
@ mrphology: from both
@toothfairy: taking perio n prostho side by side....Am really laying bak nowadays ...hope i ccan finish both soon👍
 
i am finding prostho difficult.. went till complete dentures from mosby's.... help needed 🙁
 
prostho???...wats troubling u in it tooth fairy....may be i can help.
 
its the occlusion and jaw relations... and articulators...
1. articulators
non adjustable: since they can not be adjusted...
can not simulate mandibular movements
distance from the hinge to occlusalplane is less than the distnce in jaw condyle and occlusal plane in oral cavity.
coz of this groove n fossa formation that although coincides with opposite tooth in an articulator does not do so in the mouth so...premature occlusal contacts

SEMI ADJUSTABLE:
adjustable to some degree but only upto an average value
2 types
NON ARCON : non anaatomical relationship of uppercomponent and lower component of articulator. means condyle and articular fossa fixed together

and ARCON: Anatomical relationship of upper n lower components AR-( articular fossa) in the upper component like in the human skull and CON( condyle in thhe lower part of articulator)
becoz of this it can be useful in accurate FDP and CROWN fabrication...no premature contacts when placing in the oral cavity!

since non arcon have fixed relation to the upper occlusal plane they r easier to handle in tootharrangement for CD or PD.


FuLLY ADJUSTABLE: can be adjusted according to a particular patient...allows full range of movement as a mandible does.
you can calculate the border movements of mandible and adjust the articulator according to those readings useful for FDP etc...

FACEBOW: a device to position the cast in the articulator in the same orientation to the condyle(HINGE) as in the actual jaw
2 types
arbitrary:average values
and kinematic: can be customized for each patient
what exactly dont u understand in the topics ...specify ,🙂so i dont waste tym typing info u already know..
 
thank you so much aims..... i did figure out tht to... but its only just tht i am getting confused while answering... i hope a second revision wud make tht better..... the topic for major concern is particularly the interocclusal interferences.... i was studying occlusion from decks.. got 50-50.... so reading them again...
 
Prostho going well.... Fpd left..... Where are you all guys.... helloo????? conqerers u need to report asap??????????????????????????//
 
Hi guys,

I am also preparing for part2 and planning to give in march.
I love this thread.. it motivated me.
Right now, i am reading Prostho and I have a doubt in it.

I have a question for you.
In new deck of prosthodontics part2, there was a question states that

Which of the following indirect retainers will provide the best leverage against lifting of the denture base?
options:

a)The one located the closest to the clasp tips which is located furthest from the edentulous area

b)The one located the furthest from the clasp tips which is located nearest to the edentulous area

c) The one located the furthest from the clasp tips which is located furthest from the edentulous area

And it says that correct answer is B.
but I feel the answer should be A...as indirect retainer should locate as far as possible from the distal extension.

Can anyone explain this?
If anyone has new decks, it is deck no. 152 - prostho section

Thanks.
 
what are you studying guys ..
I have just completed prostho from decks , but still prostho form Mosby is remaining ..//
 
Good going guys I am behind haven't been reading a whole lot and have a lot to catch up now.
