Hello Bridge! My name is Camila I'm from Brazil and I will start my imigration process to Canada soon. I graduated in Dentistry in 2004 and I will finish a post-graduated program in Oral Medicine in march/2008. I've searched at the NBDE (Canada) site and I found that have a Qualifying Program for people who graduated in non-accredited dental programs but doesn´t have any information about it in the site. Can you help me with this? If you know any information about that, would help me a lot!!!
Thanks
Camila

Hi
To apply to ACFD visit their website: www.acfd.ca
After you get you u think is a good score apply to the different universities with their requirements.
From there it depends upon the schools to call you for the interview or not but all of these schools have practical exams so you will have to prepare for those.
The biggest thing at this point of time is to get a good score and leave the rest for later on.

All the best and hope this helps you a little.

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.

hi,
is western Ontario the only school that one can apply for PLA and what does it entail? I need to know more about the PLA please,thanks

PLA is the preclinical test conducted by UWO for selecting eligible candidates for their qualifying program.

do you have to pass the EE to do PLA??????????? thanks

 

[KSD]

You got to have a minimum of 70 from EE. As they call only around 100 from all the applications, applying early will help. And also in the month of May they usually have continous education program, in which they teach about the procedures asked in PLA. Eventhough it costs around 2500$, I think it will definitely help in PLA.

wud it not be better to place the tooth inside the mouth????

 

[PeterHayek]

Milk is the best place to put the tooth in because of its pH (6.5-6.8) and can be conserved for up to 6 hours

Saliva is the second choice after milk, up to 2 hours

(if the patient is not carefull, he can swallow the tooth before he arrives to the clinic )

PeterHayek you are right.... as it written in Dental decks but According to some standard books like Louis Grossman's Endodontics its written that Saliva is best source for tooth rather than milk as its having high nutrition value, and provide good environment for teeth.

Your point for swallow is also mentioned and thats why for adult patient best source is Saliva and for pediatric patient its milk.... Ref: Grossman's endodontics & Engel Pathways of Pulp.

Correct me IF I am wrong

Thats right dear.... thats what I said with explanation

 

[catherined]

if we want to find the answer ,we should be according to the reference texts that ACFD recommande us, because there are different opinions in different books .

Hello all..I am new to this forum and I have a few questions..Please help me if you can..
1) What specific part of the brain does coffee effect most?

I remember there was a question in an ACFD exam that went something like that...
2) What is lease hazardous to the patient: a panthogram or MRI or CT or a full mouth dental radiographs like bitewing?

And there was another questions regarding sugarless Chewing Gums and the sugar in it(sorbitlo,xylitol,etc)...I can't really remember properly but if anyone remembers please help me..
Thanks in advance..

Hi there....well as far as I know it was like that :
1) Effect of Caffeine : it's on cerebral cortex
2) Least irradiating is panoramic
3) Sugar in chewing gum is Xylitol

 

[Mashti]

Thank you for the answers...I have some more questions...Please help me if you can..
1) Acid etching for primaries and permenats..How long and what percentage of Phosphoric acid?
2) What bur do we use to drill out Amalgam?
3)Vital signs...Respiration, pulse rate, temperature and blood pressure? Or something else on that list?

Thanks in advance...

2) What bur do we use to drill out Amalgam?
3)Vital signs...Respiration, pulse rate, temperature and blood pressure? Or something else on that list?

Thanks in advance...

1) Orthophosphoric acid (30-50%) : permanent 1 minute, primary 2 minutes
2) Tungsten carbide...if the restoration has a proximal box, cut first the isthmus to separate
3) Blood pressure (12/7 or 14/8), pulse rate (70, higher in children, lower in athletes), temperature (37), respiration rate(15)

By the way, for the question from above...if the choices include cephalometric, it will be the answer since it's the least irradiating to the patient

 

[Mashti]

Thank You Very Much For Your answers...I Appreciate it..

 

[Mashti]

Thanks for the answers eebigdog...thanks...I have a few more questions..Please help me if you can..

1) Allergy to latex gloves will fade after repeated exposure or not?
2) Baroreceptors are innervated by what nerves?
3) Healing of extraction sockets..is it primary intention or secondary intention?
4) Is codeine the only antitussive in the morphine family or other derivatives of morphine are antitussive?

Thanks again and most appreciated..

 

[uzair]

1) Allergy to latex gloves will fade after repeated exposure or not?
i think the answer is no .
2) Baroreceptors are innervated by what nerves?
vagus and glossopharyngeal.

3) Healing of extraction sockets..is it primary intention or secondary intention?
secondary intension (its an open wound)

4) Is codeine the only antitussive in the morphine family or other derivatives of morphine are antitussive?
