thanx guys ...hope the best for..
👍
Kamini & capri4477 here s a msg which I sent to help a friend few days ago ..I ll paste what would help:
materials:
1- decks decks decks ..I had 2006-2007 ..they couver over 85% if you really UNDERSTAND every single words ...
2- all released papers, specially last two 2004 and 2005 ..were great ..
3- Kaplan helped me ONLY in Biochemistry
some other books ONLY AS REFERENCES when decks couldnt make me understand, or lack of pic or illustration ..as :
anatomy:
illustrated anatomy of the head and neck by margaret fehrenbach ( that was great !!!)
illustrated dental embryology, histology and anatomy by the same author ( embryo + basic histology)
the anatomical basis of dentistry by bernard leibgott ( CNS + cranial nerve nuclei, subnuclei + some pics)
bioch/physio:
kaplan as a reference in biochemistry and heart physiology...decks are great here
Micro/patho.
high yield pathology by Ivan Damjanov ..just to gather the ideas found in decks together
microbiology USMLE first aid ... review after dekcs
DA:
decks and released ..nothin else ...I had wheeler's but didnt find any use in there ( thats too much, u ll never memorize).!!! be aware of occlusion and jaw movement, not that difficult but alot of question...
all these extra books ..u dont have to get them ...they were available in my college library ..so I took a look on them to get some notes, as I lost all my class notes and forgot everything about these subjects after graduation.
last thing ...
www.wikipedia.com...sometime u find sth in released exam that u never heard about it ...u can take a look at in wikipedia ..dont have to learn it well ..just to know wat it s about .!
EXAM DAY: (already posted somewhere in SDN):
anatomy was quite easy, over 90% were in head and neck (or so easy from pleural cavity, upper limp) with alot of TMJ, muscle of mastication action, tongue deviates to right so what muscle/nerve is responsible, communication between fossae and fissures, pre- and post-parasympathique nerves, many related consecutive questions so you would find the answer by looking at the previous question (if u have it right for sure) .!!! i got that 3 or 4 times.!
bio,physio , alot of little stupid molecules as usual, I had over 20 questions marked...second messenger and G Protein .. coenzymes and vitamines..they adore parathyroid and adrenal cortex .!!!! relation heart, kidney and BP .!!
time was more than enough to review all questions.
micro, patho the easiest, sth like one hour with 3 marked questions or so .. bone diseases+++ and again hype- hyperPARATHYROID ... leukemia, neo, ( dysplasia + metaplasia + dystrophy and friends)
DA ..well well well ...I was almost
😴 then ..but I wd remember sth about articulators, charnier axe, arcon , just few ques... bennett movement effect on mesiodistal position of cusps ...anterior guide effect on cusps height ..then the mesial aspect of the distobuccal cusp of 19 tend to touch.......!!!!!!!! GET LOST .!!!!!! some classical about height of contour ..
after the exam every morning I remember a little mistake, so now I can add:
anatomy (95): probably I lost few points bcoz:
1-lymphatics: which has pulp, stroma, reticular or without .!!! B/T lymphocytes are located in medullar cord/cortex and so
2-TMJ: what lies under the fibrocartilage?, non articular surface is lined by ?
DA (94), I became bored and tired last 30 questions..I even didnt revise though I had time ..
🙁 then I mixed two theories of occulsion ...the fonctional one adopted in france and the gnathic ( or whatever u call it) so i did some silly mistakes.
Hope this would help guys, I have been asked few times by PM about remembered questions, but I really have nothing at all..
cheeeeeeers
I m sure to get 35 in iBT if I work hard
