No classes that I know of. The school I attend provided some "prep" classes, but I never showed up to any of them. Our school also made us go through "mock boards" where they simulated the grading and criteria for the exam. I don't know of any outside sources that would host WREB prep classes.

As for the computer part, I studied how to write Rx's (dosage frequency, how many tabs, etc.), and lab slips (crowns, bridges, RPD's, etc.). I studied a few things about treatment modifications for pt's with certain diseases (heart attack, bisphosphonates, antibiotic pre-med, etc.). There really isn't much to study. Know the candidate guide well because that will help you.

Hello Doctor,
I will take the WREB on August.
Would you please tell me the exact requirements for ideal class 2 on a premolars? Do I need to open the contacts? Angulation? Thank you.
Please consult your WREB manual for ideal prep requirements. It’s the same for all posterior teeth.

Yes, open the contacts. Manual says you can open it 0.5-1mm. No box angulation, manual says something along the lines of parallel or slightly convergent (I think).

Just check your manual. It will tell you more than I can.
 
How can you help find ideal patients? Thank you.

Hello,
The endo plastic teeth are they all the same or there is different sizes and forms, I am taking USC and the dental store there said it is tooth #9 and #31 but not sure if all the same. Thanks
 
For the access for molar, were the canals under the cusp tips? How far distal did you have to go? Was it well past the central fossa?
Oh boy, you’re asking something I did not even pay attention to. I just started in the central fossa and just extended my access mesially and distally in a trapezoid until I found my canals.

Would highly recommend purchasing some practice teeth so you can get a feel for it. The WREB molar is similar to the practice teeth in terms of difficulty.

Is the CTP manual that they mailed me all that I need to know for the written exam? I am scheduled to take my exam on Oct 12th.
 
Would you happen to know where to find out which states require the optional prosthodontic and 2nd operative sections of clinical portion?

My bad, I'm like, 3 weeks late. Haha.

I fortunately didn't have to find out since I was just concerned with my current state requirements. I would call WREB as a first step though. Hopefully you found the answer already.

I think you have to call the dental board of each state you’re interested in. It is a lot of work but better find that out sooner than later.
 
Hi Doctor, I am looking for a DA for my WREB exam in June at LLU. Any recommendation?
I actually asked an underclassmate (3rd year) to assist me! It's nice because she kinda of knows what to look for when she checks your prep or for calculus during the perio section. I didn't spend a lot of money for a registered or certified DA. Didn't think it was worth it.
 
Hi there, what would you recommend we’re the most critical topics to know for the CTP component ?
Thank you
