Hi i will also be taking part 2 by mid augest. how is the preparation going?Is decks and papers ok to get a score above 80? which subject need more time?Its good that we have a group here to discuss ..
 
i am little woried about case basd questions. i have solved all relesed papers but till i felt little weak in this part ... any have idea for stuff for more practice of clinical cases? any cds.... books..... if know plz let me know....
 
i am giving in the end of aug
 
Good to know we have a good bunch of people preparing for the same time. 🙂

I do not think there is anyway to know how much preparation is "enough".I think we are at a disadvantage here as we are not in school or presently practicing. Plus I am sure many of us like myself haven't been in practice for quite some years. 🙁 🙁 So anything we can do should only prove hepful... That is my take on it...

I am not too comfortable with the case based myself especially since it is hard to know what is the 'right ' answer as opinions tend to wary in clinical scenarios. To my knowledge, the book called "Problem solving in Clinical dentistry" by Edward Odell is recommended for preparing for those case based.

How helpful the book proves remains to be seen. It is a well written, organised & informative book though.

I am going to start shooting queries now & I hope others do too. That way, we can all benefit.So here goes.... this is from the released 1989 paper....

Which of the following occurs as a reaction to poor oral hygiene during ortho treatment?
Marginal Gingivitis
Gingival fibrosis
Ulcerative Gingivitis
Acute periodontitis
Juvenile Periodontitis

Answer given is a and b Can someone explain why? Can understand why a but why b & not d.......

Thanks, bye,

when there is inflammation the body wards off the infection by walling off sometimes by fibrosis it is a defence mechanism . also when there is plaue and calculus formation that is site of chronic irritation and there is gingival overgrowth with increase in cAMP and connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)is usually elevated.

Hi,
I am taking my exam on Aug 2nd and 3rd, and need to discuss questions specially year 2002 and 2003. I have all the question and most of the answers, but would like to discuss them. Lets start working on them, since there is not much time left. (if you already got the answer for 2002 and 2003, would you send them to me, if you don't need to discuss them, otherwise let work on them)
thanks
Hope to hear from you soon
