Best of Luck to all of you for Eligibility Exam......

 

[BDDS]

hi no one seems to be interseted to be and meet on mondays,,

any way,
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ,IF LEFT UNTRETED IS MOST LIKELY TO RESULT IN A PERIAPICAL LESION

A, Reversible pulpitis
B, Acure suppurative pulpitis

whats the answer ?

 

[dr.ymp]

Its acute supurative pulpitis..

 

[BDDS]

Its acute supurative pulpitis..

Accessory canala , located in ?

a)Apical1/3rd
b)Middle 1/3rd

 

[samyred]

Accessory canala , located in ?

a)Apical1/3rd
b)Middle 1/3rd

I remember it from school, apical, then middle, then last the cervical (least likely)

But no reference to base my answer on

 

[dr.ymp]

Correct answer is Accesorry canal mostly located at apical third...


"In deciduous posterior teeth it is most frequently found at Bifurcation area"

well , these r tough for me

 

[dosanjh]

no.1
Following root planning a patient experiences thermal senstivity. this pain is associated with,

1 Free Nerve Ending OR 2 Odontoblastic Processes**

no.2
Pain and difficulty on swallowing ,trismus and displaced uvula r signs and symptoms of infection of which of the following spaces?
1 submandibular
2 Lateral Parapharyngeal**
3 Sublingual
4 Deep temporal
5 SUb massereric


for now these will look for more

 

[samyred]

A 78-year old patient presents with several carious lesions on the root surfaces of the maxillary posterior teeth. The restorative material of choice is
A. microfilled composite resin.
B. hybrid composite resin.
C. silver amalgam.
D. glass ionomer cement.
E. reinforced zinc oxide and eugenol cement.

The debate here is that microfilled composite has high flowability, and there for it is best for root carries
But GIC is also good in preventing carries since it releases fluride

What do you guys think?

 

[highbrow]

hi im writin in london....

 

[highbrow]

gic coz it has F which prevents further cs n its bonding...

[dr.ymp]

After initiating preventive management for a
16 year old patient with multiple extensive carious
lesions, which of the following restorative
treatments is most appropriate?
A. Place amalgam restorations over the next
few months.
B. Excavate caries and place temporary
restorations within the next few weeks.
C. Delay any treatment until the hygiene
improves.
D. Restore all teeth with composite resin
over the next few months.

(As according to principal during Mx. of where pt's hygiene or caries risk factor present... start preventive Mx. and wait untill appropriate improvement... or excavate caries and provide economic restoration for that period.... As in this case deep carious lesion might lead pulpal involvement... so we can give temporary restoration untill hygiene improved)


Caries in older persons is most frequently found on
which of the following locations?
A. Pits and fissures.
B. Proximal enamel.
C. Root surfaces.
D. Incisal dentin.

(As in older pt. gingival recession and decreased salivary flow will leads to increase in frequency of root surface caries)



IS there anyone have different opinion for this??

I am at the viarail station rihgt now, waitig for the Toronto Train.

The exam was tough in the first part, less difficult in the second part, very few repeated questions.

I can say that if I memorized the decks part1,2 by heart I would have got 10 more questions but nothing more.

Most of it is based on logical thinking, which makes it difficult to estimate the outcome!

I am so tired and hungry, can someone buy me a pizza... veggie preferable

hi samyred,

Thats good... I hope your logics will match with the right answers and you will got good score ...

So what you feel is it worth not to read part1 subjects and have to concentrate more on Part 2 subjects??

Is there any points or special tips for preparetion ???

Thanks

Hi I have applied for PLA program in University of Western Ontario, if anybody in this forum is also registered for the program,we can exchange our views and help eachother

 

[jatt007]

Hi,
Have you already got the result for your EE? As I thought we can not apply for PLA untill we have the score for EE.. I am waiting for the result ..I will apply only if I get a respectable score.. how about you.. how much did you score?

 

[ardzah]

any body has idea ,when are they going to announce the result?

 

[jatt007]

EE result should be out next week around 12th or 13.. thats when it was announced last year..

 

[smarttooth]

hi i'm a new member here...is there anyone from middle east here especially from iraq
thanks

 

[KSD]

Hi,
Have you already got the result for your EE? As I thought we can not apply for PLA untill we have the score for EE.. I am waiting for the result ..I will apply only if I get a respectable score.. how about you.. how much did you score?

I had already taken the exam last september. I applied with those marks

 

[Foulys]

Hi there I am to registered for THE PLA august 2007.Yes We can share experience for sure

 

[smarttooth]

can somebody give me a quick idea about PLA ..i'm new here and need ur help...thank u...bytheway i got 75 in eligibilty exam last year is that enough to apply

 

[KSD]

Yes you can apply with 75. You can apply if your score is above 60 and there is still place for the PLA. they take only 103 and so apply as soon as possible. If you have written the May exams and if your score is higher than the previous result, they will consider the highest only.

 

[KSD]

Hi there I am to registered for THE PLA august 2007.Yes We can share experience for sure

They had sent a list of materials that we can order. Do you think they r for us to practice or should we buy them and bring it for the PLA

 

[smarttooth]

Yes you can apply with 75. You can apply if your score is above 60 and there is still place for the PLA. they take only 103 and so apply as soon as possible. If you have written the May exams and if your score is higher than the previous result, they will consider the highest only.

THANK u for the reply ...i have another question.. howmuch r the fees for the PLA..and howlong is it?...and what do they teach us?...thank u

 

[KSD]

THANK u for the reply ...i have another question.. howmuch r the fees for the PLA..and howlong is it?...and what do they teach us?...thank u

The PLA course is already over. It costed around $2000. I couldn't attend the course as I came to know about it only later. My PLA exam is on Aug20-23 and it costs $1450. It seems they thought u about the cavity preparation and crown cutting and there was also a handon session.

I got 79 and I took IELTS.

I have not gotten my mark?

 

[KSD]

I have not gotten my mark?

Depending on where u live, you should be receiving it in a day r two.

 

[dimplechand]

I can tell u the material that u should read abt EE,contact me on my e-mail

hi my email is [email protected], could you please email me the books and the topics to concentrate on.
thanks

 

[Twinny]

hiii
i would suggest you to buy both dental decks 1 and 2 and read them all at least 2 times. get some dental mcq books from ur country and practice to increase ur speed of reading and answering, use common sense as they wanna see ur clinical approach to the question. get some ndb books from uni of toronto library for part 2 mcqs it helps a lot. but ee is all about clinical so experince counts . improve ur CV as they check every thing, good ielts score is important,,,, try to get 8 in ielts. if u have 3 years experience, 8 ielts band score,, 82 or 83 percent in ee u will be called for interview in all canadian unis. good luck every one

hi.
please what do you mean by ................... 8 in ielts.,thanks

 

[canadahelp]

hii
8 means the total band score of 8 .. u should check there web site for info regarding grading of result. any way good luck to all who will apply this year .. wish u all the best. canadian unis are fantastic.try ur best .

Hi
Is there anybody at all who has ever given the MELAB english proficiency exam????

 

[Dana_Popescu]

I did. It starts with essay, after that listening and reading,grammar,cloze and vocabulary. I did toefl also and I found Melab easier. There are easy dialogues for the listening part. Reading part is shorter. On Toefl, one can have 5 lecture on listening or 5 long academic texts on reading part.
Melab has shorter and easier texts.
Grammar: choose the word that corectly complete a phrase.
Cloze: read a passage, then select the word which best fills the blank. Super easy to do it.
If you are interested on more details, you can send me a private message.

 

[saru88]

hi guys....i just gave toefl ibt and got 113.....is it okay or another english language test is preferred?
moreover anybode here who is giving the ee in sept 2007?

 

[KSD]

It depends on where you are applying and the individual scores.

 

[artlove]

Hi
I am going to give the exams in Vancouver next year. Am prep for it.
