hi all,

count me in.I am planning to take part 2 in may.please let me know when u begin.Thanks

 

[docstudent]

Hello friends
Can someone pls tell me if its necessary to join kaplan courses or just the kaplan review notes and tests along with the decks and text books is sufficient...thanks

 

[ras2006]

hey friends,

i am also planning to start studying for part 2 .... does anyone have all the study material compiled in a CD and is willing to sell it at a reasonable price? Please PM me..

thanks in advance

[lincyp]

if folks are interested in studying together, it makes it a lot easier if ppl r in the same area. sdn and email and great for some to study online, but others study better in person.

Hey Guys..
I started my prep recently but lemme put this guys, as in Pharmacology part is crazy...
Wat have u all thought...i hv strted on decks but i dont think we can retain much if keep studing decks...what books will be good refer and help in retaining in a more planned way....? i know of Lippincott but want u guys to put input on this and we can coordinate as to wat can be the best book for PPPhhhhaaaarmmcology....is good...
help help help....

 

[thaizemelo]

me too

 

[dent_phl]

hey friends ,
count me in too...
can anyone tell me which one is the best book for prostho specially for partial dentures????? (fpd/rpd) and also for pharmac....????.I agree with dentist-79 and I think reading decks wont be enough.....so please help us....any advice and help will be appreciated .....thanks in advance.....

HI Guys !

 

[LKY]

19 year - old man has a deep, carious lesion on a mandibular first molar. He has no histroy of spontaneous pain but the tooth is sensitive when he eats candy and drinks cold drinks or chews in the quardent. On examination tooth respond to electric pupl tester and is not sensitive to percussion or palpation. The tooth is restorable, no periodntal or occlusal probems are evident.

Q. The definitive diagnosis is
1. reversibile pulpitis with acute apical periodontitis
2. reversibile pulpitis with normal apcal tissue
3. irrversibile pulpitis with normal apical tissue
4. irrversible pulpitis with acute periodontitis
5. NOne of the above. there is not enough information to make a definitive diagnosis

Ans - 5

as i read this question - i though it sh'd be answer - 2 bcz it is sensitive to cold and sweet.
what you guys say plz help me.

I will try to answer this question...First based on
History
- no spontaneous pain
- Sensitive to cold and sweet
- Sensitive when chews - irritant occurs

Clinical exam
- Deep carious lession
- Reponded to EPT
- Negative to percusion and palpation - it's means no periapical lesion

X-ray
- There is no information given.

From the information given, history and clinical examination, I believe the information is enough. You can add supprotive information which is dental x-ray. However, you need to remember that Dental x-ray cannot be used to diagnosed caries disease - it is just to assist and support the diag - so number 5 is wrong. Negative to percuison and palpation means PDL is normal and no periapical lessions, eliminate answer 1 and 4. The tooth have no spontaneous pain history, positive in EPT test and sensitive when irritants are introduced and remember the keyword sensitive, which means not pain. I would say it is a vital tooth with reversible pulpitis (2). So the correct answer is (2).

 

[mesh]

exam in march 19 and 20 anyone with me ????

 

[AbstractDentist]

i am looking for a study partner for part 2 preparation...anyone interested please pm me....

 

[madhuch]

hi want to sell my part2 decks hard copy and colour atlas and casestudies,in a excellent condition,[email protected]

Well i like Lippincott alot...it's truly a great book. Have you tried "Pharmacology made ridiculously simple" ?

 

[bluetooth32]

I am also planning to give part 2 in july this year.I live in Toronto if anyone wants to study jointly please call me on 416 876 2377 or send me an email on [email protected].

 

[coffeecup]

Hi, is any one near Pasadena, California who wants to team up for Part II studies. Need a partner or team to meet up with to get down to business in studies. This "self-study" is not exactly working out too well. Aiming for a 1 or 2 month crash study before the exam. Can start from scratch or I can catch up.

Im 26 M. I don't mind M/F. Just somebody or people who are committed to study. About 3-4 days a week for 4-5 hours per day. Let me know please!

Hey,

I live at LA and would like to pass part II in one month. please contact me at [email protected] if you want to study together as a group.

 

[highbrow]

1-Candidiasis. 2-Herpetic gingivostomatitis. 3-shingles. 4-cold sores. 5-chiken pox. 6-hairy leukoplakia.

1-Dissociation factor(PKa) of L.A agent. 2-% of vasoconstrictor in solution. 3-Forceful injection. (1or3?)

[ITSME]

hi guys,
anyone planning to give part 2 end of sept 2007?

 

[ITSME]

and if yes, is anyone staying in MA? willing for combined studies???

 

[goodsworld]

hi, I have part 2 question paper booklets for sale, they are new and never been used .........if anyone interested pls pm me.........thank you.

 

[Serveh]

Hey,
I studied from home too and you can help yourself if you can join kaplans as you will have access to everything there.But even if you dont ,you can study at home -I did and though i dont have a gr8 score its enough to be of use.Part 2 is different as there are fields which are completely new to people like us .But you can work hard solve the asda papers,know your decks thoroughly and try and get hold of some books for cinical cases and pharmac,i know there are some i dont know their names you can find them on one of the threads.Its not that tough!!Just work hard and make sure you know your clinical cases well.What you cant find in the decks you can find it through links on this forum pictures ,information, and of course us to encourage you.Hope that helps.

Hi there,
Could u plz help me with 2 Qs I've got?

How can we get help from kaplan membership?( I suppose u mean getting a membership to kaplan's website)I mean can we get the answer to our Qs which r not in decks?

What links on this Forums can help us with our Qs and provide us with case-based Qs and pistures?
thanks
Serveh

HI there

I will be starting prep for Part II soon.Plan to do so from 1st August.Calling all those who plan to take part II in/after Dec to join me.Lets start from scratch and go about it in a well-organized manner.What say?

All those please reply to this thread with info and suggestions.

NBDE part II.....here we come!

hi want to sell my part2 decks hard copy and colour atlas and casestudies,in a excellent condition,[email protected]

hi
for how much will u be able to provide
