Preface

How to Use This Text
This review book is the compiled work by experts in each of the relevant disciplines represented on the National Board Dental Exam (NBDE). This second edition includes recent updates and important changes from the first edition for each NBDE subject. This text is a tool to help prepare students for taking the NBDE and to help identify strengths and weaknesses so students can better utilize their study time. This text is not meant to replace years of professional training or to simply provide questions so that students may pass the exams if they memorize the answers. Instead, this book will help direct students to the topic areas they may need to further review and will strengthen students' knowledge and exam-taking skills.
Dental schools generally do well in preparing their students for practice and for board exams. Usually, there is a good correlation between students who do well in their dental courses and those who score well on their board exams. Therefore to best prepare for board exams, students should focus on doing well in their course work. It is in the students' best interest to focus more board exam study time on the areas in which they have not performed as well in their dental coursework. Most students are aware of their areas of weakness and therefore will have the opportunity to focus more resources on these areas when studying for boards.

Helpful Hints for Preparing to Take Your Board Examinations

1. Pace yourself and make a study schedule. As when taking a course, it is always better to give yourself sufficient assimilation time rather than cramming over a short period of time, and if you start studying early enough, you should not have to make major changes in your daily schedule.
2. Study in a quiet environment similar to that in which the test is given. Stick to your schedule and minimize distractions to avoid last minute panic and the urge to cram.
3. Know your weaknesses and focus more of your resources on strengthening these areas. Look back at your grades from the courses that relate to the exam topics. These will indicate areas that need more attention. Also, use this book as a trial run to help point to content areas that may need more review.
4. Many find practice exams useful. You can employ practice exams in several ways: study with others by asking each other questions; test yourself with flashcards or notes that are partially covered from view; or answer questions from this text. In each case, be sure to check your answer to find out whether you achieved the correct answer. Each section of this review book has practice exam questions. There is also a sample exam with questions from each discipline. This book also contains explanations as to why an answer is a correct answer and why the distracters are not. See if these explanations agree with the reasons for making your selections. The questions are written in the formats used on the National Boards including the new formats of matching, ordering, and multiple correct/multiple responses.
5. Block off time for practice examinations, such as the review questions and sample exam in this text. Time yourself and practice your test speed; then compare your time to the estimated time needed to complete each section of the NBDE.
6. If your school offers board reviews, we highly recommend taking them. These may assist you with building your confidence with what material you have already mastered and may help you focus on material that you need to spend more time studying.
7. Stay positive about the board exam. If you prepare well, you should do well on the exam. Besides, think of all the people who have preceded you and have passed the exam. What has been done can be done. Consider making a study group composed of people who will be good study partners and who are able to help the other members in the group review and build co
