DEAR ALL

I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE FEEDBACKS; sorry it took me so long to complete

The path to achieve a full registration with the GDC IS NOT easy but not impossible either.

It needs lots of hard work and dedication.

SO I WILL START WITH THE BOOKS YOU ABSOLOUTLY NEED TO COVER.

I KNOW THAT MOST OF THOSE WHO ARE PREPARING DON`T HAVE MUCH TIME AVALIBLE and have lots
or responsibility but you will have to spare at least 6 h a day for 4 month to be able to go through all the
material required for ORE plus to do a proper revision.

THE PROBLEM WITH ORE PART 1 IS NOT THE DIFFICULTY OF THE EXAM ITS THE AMOUNT YOU WILL
HAVE TO COVER

MY ADVICE TO ALL of those giving part 1 is to have a WELL arranged plan for the coming 4 and a half
month.

You will need to cover

1. the basic science then plus all the feedback questions

2. Cover the clinical dentistry plus the feedbacks.

3. by answering the 5 MCQ books.

THE BOOKS I USED FOR THE PREPARATION:

1. BASIC SCIENCE:
A. Anatomy for dental students ( you can use any anatomy book you have) + netter anatomy
atlas ( if u don`t have the soft copy contact me I will be glad to send it)
B. Physiology ( Vanders + blue book)
C. Microbiology and pathology ( blue book is enough)
D. Hypersensitivity ( Wikipedia) the reason I placed it in a separate item is bec its very important
E. Oral histology ( blue book plus wiki are enough) PLUS WIKI
F. Pharmacology (( PINK BOOK, CHURCHIL , ANY UNDERGRDADUATE PHARMACOLOGY BOOK I
USED (pharmacology for dental students), Scully ( local anesthesia, SEDATION, GA, PLUS THE
TABLE WITH THE MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT MEDICATION, SCOTTICH
GUIDLINE 2008))
G. CLINICAL SCIENCE :
o PINK BOOK
o CHURCHIL
o MASTER 1 AND 2
 o 3 CHS IN ODELL ( BRIDGE DESIGN, AN UNPLEASENT SURPRISE, AN ADVERSE REACTION)
o CLINICAL GUIDE SERIES FROM THE BRITISH DENTAL JOURNAL ( ONLY IF U HAVE TIME)

H. BDA ADVICE SHEETS ((((((THEY ARE VERY IMP))))))

1. DATA PROTECTION (( BORING BUT IMP))
2. ETHICS IN DETISTRY ((( VERY IMP))
3. INFECTION CONTROL (( V IMP))
4. RADIATION ADVICE SHEET ((V IMP))
5. DENTAL RECALL
6. HEALTH AND SAFETY (( V IMP))
7. RISK ASSESMENT (( V IMP))

I. DELIEVERING A BETTER ORAL HEALTH DOC IS A MUST

J. STATISTICS PROVIDED FROM DR IRFAN ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH
((U CAN FIND THE DOCUMENT ATTACHED IN THE FACEBOOK GROUP: ORE 1))

SO HERE IS HOW I PLANNED MY STUDIES

I PREPARED FOR A TOTAL OF 4 MONTH AND A HALF ((WHICH IS ABOUT THE SAME TIME U
GUYS HAVE LEFT))
