They will ask fgc and pfm. Details will be in the mail that they sent you. You will 3 hrs for 2 preps and 4 days to practice from 6 pm to 12. Interview is very relaxing. All the best
 
Yes. You will practice at the same place and on the same manekin on which you will have exam
 
Thanks mim14. The timing you said is from 6 pm to 12 midnight? Did you have a chance at the testing yourself or you are talking from others' experiences?
 
Does anyone here know what time we begin the interview process on the 11th? Not sure whether to fly out on the 10th or 11th morning now.
 
Do you have any idea if they are done with sending out invites?
Do they call more batches after this?
And do they send rejection nail as well?

2014 They asked for Full Gold crown on #19 and PFM on #7. The PFM could be given on #7 or #9. Manikin has cheeks, they were not too concerned last year with scratches to the adjacent tooth, typodont was Kilgore hard gingiva, Exam time 3 hours. Good luck every one

Do we get to practice in UCSF? Do they have staff at that time to help us?

You should practice before you arrive at the exam. Either ask a local dentist for chair time or buy a compressor. If you want to be successful you will be ready.

Any two of the following:
Gold crown preps on lower or upper molar

What are you guys going to wear for the interview... Does it have to be a totally formal dressing such as same color suits?

The packet does contain a list of hotels with their phone numbers but there is no mention of any discounts.
 
Hello everyone,

Will they ask only the preparations that were mentioned in the packet they sent or a different one? In the packet, they haven't mentioned anything related to the lateral incisor, but in 2014 they asked PFM on 7. Do we have to practice PFM on lateral incisors also? Please advise me guys.

Thanks in advance.
