Congrats on the interview.
Airport and School are quite near actually. 15-20 minutes by car. I had stayed at a Best Western I think, about 5 mins from school. Had rented a car to get around.

Some of the other candidates had cabbed it.

Thanks Sherry 😀

There were 3 exercises:
1. We had to melt blue colored wax in the shape of a dome
2. Orange/white wax into letter O
3. Carve green stick wax like a sharp pencil. And a box in the middle.

That's a bad rudimentary drawing. I hope you get the idea though!

They have kilgore. So you might want to practice on that. Also kilgore teeth are used in UCSF and Pacific.

Thanks LA fea for extending so much help!! i had another ques to bother u 🙂. If we have to prepare PFM crown cud it be an anterior tooth or do they always give post tooth prep?? Also Class II wud be Maxilary or Madibular...more chances of wat??
 
Hi, wat is the wax exercise? How many seats are there at Uni of colorado( last yr thread says 20) and how many candidates do they call for he bench test? What do they ask in the interview? It will be a great help. Thanx to all and good luck to all ......

I have no recollection of working on anterior tooth. We did mandibular cl 2.
I strongly recommend being prepared for both- max and mand, anterior and posterior. You DON'T want to be caught off guard especially on that, critical day.

If we want to practice for bench test which type of teeth and wax we should use
 
They have kilgore. So you might want to practice on that. Also kilgore teeth are used in UCSF and Pacific.

Hey La Fea, can we order these teeth?? If yes, from where??
Thanks👍

Hi La fea,

Green stick, just carve.
 
isn't it too hard to be carved. With what instrument you carved it.
Nooo its not too bad. Actually its not bad at all. I used a Le cron carver.
