Canadian EE Released Test Item Bank

[brain in dds]

Hey Friends,

i'm starting this new thread only limited to Released Qs released by NDEB of Canada. They 660 pages looooooooooooooong!
So, another platform for all EE students to dance on and get each other's help in getting the right answer!

Good Luck!

[Hi guys ,
I know that reminding the exam after exam is not good , you want to rest ,
but I would like to know about kind of questions ,
were there a lot of questions about basic scienses like biochemistry , human anatomy and human histology ?
thanks in advance for answerinh my question

 

[leda]

Do you mean by NDEB the Canadian Board exam?! cuz I'm taking it too on the 6 and 7th of March...do let me know , i'll tell you what to study

hi eebigdog,

The studying materials for the Equvalency Process and National Boards should be similar. I would appreciate if you share with us too what materials are u using to prepare for the National Boards.

 

[honeydarling]

hello.. I'm sure everyone's focusing on the written part, and so I apologize for this distraction, but was wondering if anyone can tell me where I can get the osce questions from year 2006 and on... or are they available at all?

 

[avataar]

hi guys. i am so confused with these new rules for the dds qualifying program. can anybody please explain me when is the next date for the exam, whats the new criteria, etc. what material to study for the exam. i would really appreciate ur responses. waiting for replies. thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

can u please indicate the page number ,if u r asking any question from the released Questions of NDEB (the 660 pages) so we can mark it down.

thanks

Hi To Every body i am from Surrey BC area, I am going to open an practise center from 1st of July where any body can practise for the clinical exam on the maniquin with simulation unit. I will provide every thing for practise like, typhodont, teeth, handpiece, dental material like composite and Amalgam for filling, rubber dam for practice etc. Any body intrested just contact me.

Hi ,
can anybody please tell me if Mosby's Review for the NDBE part 1 & 2
useful for studying for our fundamental knowledge assessment exam or not??

And if not what else do u guys recommend other than the dental decks?
thanks.

[marco09]

I think A too much water in the stone for the cast....

too much water will decrease the setting expansion of the model, so in a kind of contracted model you will produce a casting that will not fit the mouth...

hi it,s B gypsum materials expand during setting,
primarily because the dihydrate crystals push against each other
as they form. Several factors can be altered to affect setting
expansion.
1. Mixing Time: Increasing the mixing time, within
practical limits, increases expansion by increase the number of
nuclei of crystallization of dihydrate particles.
2. W/P Ratio: Decreasing the W/P ratio increases expansion
by also increasing the number of nuclei of crystallization of
dihydrate particles.
3. Accelerators and ******ers: Accelerators and ******ers
not only affect setting time, but also affect expansion of the
gypsum. Both decrease expansion by changing the shape of the
developing dihydrate crystals.
Summary of factors that influence setting time and expansion of
the gypsum materials:
*Increasing the mixing time or decreasing the W/P ratio
shortens the setting time and increases expansion by creating
more nuclei of crystallization of calcium sulfate dihydrate per
unit volume. They also increase strength by producing a more
dense product

 

[marco09]

I think A too much water in the stone for the cast....

too much water will decrease the setting expansion of the model, so in a kind of contracted model you will produce a casting that will not fit the mouth...

excuse me it's A the explanation is there

 

[marco09]

Yes, I checked, the question regarded a mandibular denture.
It must be masseter, so answer 1&2, although buccinator is not much of a factor here.

it's masseter and buccinator even though buccinator has a weak action.bucconator's fibers run anteroposteriorly in an horizontal way.distofacial extension of a mandibular td (masseter

distolingual superior constrictor muscle

A. Class II malocclusion.-- ???
B. An opposing free end saddle removable partial.---???
C. Previous orthodontic treatment.​

D. Heavily restored abutment.

Y would it be contraindicated in class II malocclusion? m asking coz only this option doesnt make sense. but i m still confused... no base for xplanation.

pg #455

A lateral cephalometric radiograph for a patient with a 3mm anterior functional shift
should be taken with the patient in
A. maximum intercuspation.
B. initial contact.
C. normal rest position.
D. maximum opening.​

E. protrusive.

i think it's B initial contact(should be in centric relation), they are talking of a pseudo classe III, so they want to know the real relationship between maxilla and mandible if the patient is in protrusive he will give a non-veritable skeletal relationship
please any other idea

 

[marco09]

why oversmall ????? i think it's B ,anyways if it's oversmall which is the logic???

do reply with an explanation plz....

should be taken with the patient in
A. maximum intercuspation.
B. initial contact.
C. normal rest position.
D. maximum opening.​

E. protrusive.

I have taken a lot of lat. cephs they r either taken at max incuspation or normal rest position.

 

[marco09]

brian i'm resolving too but they are too much what i was thinking was in dividing the work among 30 people so each of could resolve it and put a rational answer to it, it has to be a commitment, what do you think ????? i want to talk in private to you cause i found a way to organize the questions and answers.

 

[KSD]

My suggestions, please share your thoughts

the fisrt one is c in EARLY ANOXIA YOU'LL SEE TACHYCARDIA CAUSE the circulatory system will try to supply oxigen to the tissues and cyanosis. in the late you phase you are going to see bradi.


slough i think it's correct

and c is my answer in the third one

 

[superlady]

I think A too much water in the stone for the cast....

too much water will decrease the setting expansion of the model, so in a kind of contracted model you will produce a casting that will not fit the mouth...

Casting will be tighter if the model is larger in case its an inlay and if the casting is an onlay/ crown the die has to be smaller for a tight fit in the mouth.
Isn't it leda? Pl help someone!!!
Whats the right option?

Hey everyone, this is an awesome thread, a lot of synapsis goin´ around here... say I was wondering if any of you guys who already answered the Test Item Bank with the forum´s help could like I dunno´ post the all the answers?? like upload a file with the page #´s and that page´s answers... I think it would be really helpful, that way u can confirm what you´ve already answered... I know 660 pages with like 6 Q´s each is a loooooot, but even an audio file would b an option, it´d take much less than 2 hrs... plzzz reply, be willing to drop few coins if needed Adiós!!!

If you are taking Canadain Fundamental assesment exam in Feb 2011 Please do email me at [email protected].

I'm looking for study partner/group.

I live in Vancouver and BDS graduate from India.

 

[dr sk]

Dear friends,

I have joined this forum today and i am taking taking the assessment of fundamental knowledge exam in feb'11. Is there anybody else here taking the exam? I just moved to Toronto from India a couple of days ago and need help as far as the exams go. What materials (other than the reference textbooks mentioned on the website) do students refer to, like a synopsis or something and where can I find them? I would really like to become a part of the discussions related to the released question bank. Looking forward to some great output!!

Best,

SK
