Practice until u feel confident. That point is different for everyone. If you live in SF Bay area pm me, I know someone who will train for a fee.
Or get Duggan DVDs/Fixed Prosthodontics text book and practice at home.

hey La fea I m also intersted in preparing for practical exam..I live in SF bay area can u tell me the person from where I can learn or from where can i find the duggan's dvds and which prostho book u want me to refer..I will appreciate u.
 
Schilingberg is a good book. I like it.
As far as DVDs are concerned, you have to google and look them up yourself.
Will pm u the dentist contact info as soon as I dig it up. Maybe in a day or two?
Alternately u can get training from Duggan at the center or go to UCLA.
whatever you do practice.

hi all!

even i faced d same problem last year while going for interviews....................i practiced for a month. this thing is serious and admission is based a lot on ur practicals( at east my experience says so),,,,,,i bought an industrial compressor from home depot and attached it to the air rotor thru some attachments and a hose. i cut at least 50 teeth before i went for the interview. ppl cant perform good enough by practicing 2 days b4 exam if they havnt prepared any before. anyone around u , say a dentist or a dental student will be happy to guide u,,,just hunt a little.

gud luk
