Hi Everybody,
Got the email detailing the instruments needed for the practical exam. Just wanted to confirm if we just need to carry the handpieces and the adapter. Do we need to carry the burs and the instruments or will those be provided by the University. Also can you please tell me from where can one arrange for a 5 hole coupler.
Thanks in advance.

I M using the handpiece that i borrowed it from somone. U can get a decent one from some dental supply store for less than $200. UCLA store is too expensive regarding this. They r going to provide columbia typodont 860 bcos this is wot we r using in skill prep class. All the instruments u need for prepration is gonna b ur responsbility. I m still wondring abt 5 hole coupler. bcos ucla store dont carry it.

congratulations to all those who heard from UCLA. Can somebody tell how did you hear from them email or mail?
 
they sent the interview letter via postal mail..didnt gv any information via phone or email..
 
got interview call from UCLA 😀

guys..what's the 5 holes coupler that they need???
i have a standard NSK 4 holes handpiece ..do i have to buy this coupler or what???
please reply
 
Does anybody know the practical exam is going to be on bench top or mannequin head? Please reply!!!
 
Hi kooks
i have the same question,
what is 5 hole coupler?
 
This coupler which has to be Midwest, it is a piece that goes connected with your high speed only (which unfortunatly has to be Midwest GTX or Stylus in order to fit to this particular coupler).....it has only two functions, for what I understood!!, one it's that the hoes goes connected to it so you can take your turbine with a push instead of unscrewing the handpiece from the hoes and second the 310000 rpm.....in conclusion, the total spending is like a 1000 dollars!!! between the turbine (GTX) and the coupler.......
I wonder what everybody is gonna do about it......
Please we need suggestions!!!
Thank you and Have a great weekend!!
 
hi guys..did any1 arrange the 5hole coupler and hand piece..i hv the regular 4 hole one n i guess i'll tk the same one for the exam...vat is every1 else doin?
 
well i asked dr Stevenson abt the coupler and he said if u have a standard 4 hole handpiece u dont need that coupler. I checked my handpiece in simulation lab and it was working fine. so i think those who have 4 hole handpiece might dont need it.
 
thanx ashbds..i thought so 2... cn ppl who hd their ucla interview on the 15th post their experiences...
 
Hello all,
