I'll be taking it during May 1-4, 2003 and if you have any advice, it'd be great if you could give myself and others a few pointers. Also I was wondering how picky were the examiners when submitting patients for approval for the operative section?
1) I was planning on and MOD amalgam on #30. Only potential problem is that # 4 is broken down and only has a pulpectomy for the time being. The patient doens't have a lot of money and there isn't time to do much for that tooth. There is still contact from #3 and the lingual cusp of #4. Do you think they will allow me to do it?
2) I also have a perfect MO on #14. Only problem is #13 has D caries that probably requires endo. I've talked to my instructors and they said it would be best to have that restored. However this patient is hard to get in. One of my other instructors who also is a grader for NERBs said that the only problem is that of achieving proximal contact. I don't think I'll have a problem with that however. Though you specify which tooth you want to do, will they MAKE you do another one which is worse off like #13 DO?
3) For your ENDO teeth, what did you use to mount them? They say denture acrylic however can you use Trim acrylic temporary material?
