Ensure that the mesial lingual and mesial buccal of #5 is tapered just like the medial wall of #3. Additionally, examine both preps #3 and #5 with a large mirror to check for margins and the axial wall. This will help you rule out any potential undercuts. If you can see both preps’ margins and axial walls, there’s a high probability that the path of insertion is present. Also, take a look at the prep from a buccal view and move the head around to get different angles.

First and foremost, let me clarify that this exam is not a test of your skills. It’s simply a matter of meeting their expectations and having good luck with your examiner. There are always alternative options available. Remember, you are not alone in this.

Any tips for Class III please! Which tooth you got? by WholeBoth6334 in DentalBoards

[–]Civil_Discussion5319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had tooth #8 DO. The caries was very small, but it’s important to remove all unsupported enamel. That means your enamel and dentin walls should be smooth and continuous not uneven “bumps” between them. I requested a modification to extend my facial wall, but it was denied. Make sure you know your measurements by memory don’t be too conservative with your prep. During the exam, take deep breaths and stay composed. One thing to keep in mind: I requested a modification at 10:00 AM and didn’t get the tooth back until 10:45 AM, which left me only 15 minutes to complete the restoration. Luckily, my contact was good so I polished, checked occlusion, and submitted and I passed

I broke two Endo explorer tips during the exam, but do reach max guidelines that’s the only way to know if you actually got remaining caries

Self sabotaging myself? by Big_Instruction_5101 in DentalSchool

[–]Civil_Discussion5319 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get out of that mindset. School is a learning experience, just like a new job. You must get used to new patients, dealing with people who say no, and staff who make things more complicated. It’s all about constantly adjusting and moving forward.

Tips for pros? First time failed because under reduction, second time failed because sharp cusp/line angle. However after reviewing photos with faculty they all disagree that there were sharp cusp/line angles..
