I am sure the dental graduates preparing for their PG entrance exams will benefit from this book. The authors/editor has taken care to ensure that the information given in this book is accurate and up-to-date. But in every work, there can be human errors and therefore I request the reader to refer to the standard textbooks and other resources in the respective subjects in case of any doubts for clarifications. Let me take this opportunity to thank all the academicians and colleagues who have spent their valuable time towards the success of this book. Without their contribution, this work would not have materialized.

"MCQs, SAQs, EMQs and OSCEs for Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine-An exam-focused Approach" is designed to serve as a companion to the available textbooks in oral pathology and oral medicine and is meant to serve as a revision tool for dental students and graduates preparing for examinations. The book is structured to complement student lecture notes, recommended textbooks and past exam papers. Globally, the current trend is to use a combination of multiple-choice questions (MCQs), short answer questions (SAQs), extended matching questions (EMQs) and objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) stations in the examination process. Available textbooks in oral pathology and oral medicine are not of much value to students preparing for exams using these assessment formats. The aim of this book therefore is to offer students with a single source that would assist them to prepare for exams. Target audience for this book includes dental students, oral health therapy and dental hygiene students, overseas-trained dental graduates preparing for board or licensing examinations and those preparing for membership or fellowship examinations of the Royal Surgical Colleges.
Offering the most realistic NBDHE review and practice available, Mosby's Review Questions for the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination includes both a print book and companion website to prepare you for exam success. In the book, you'll review with more than 1,250 Component A practice questions — with each answer including a rationale for both correct and incorrect answer options. Online, you can review the same questions plus an additional 420 case-based items related to Component B in 1) practice mode or 2) timed, exam-simulation mode with randomized tests that match the number and distribution of questions on the NBDHE. From a team of dental hygiene experts including lead editor Barbara Bennett, this Q&A resource is an excellent supplement to any NBDHE content review book! - More than 1,680 multiple-choice questions provide comprehensive practice spanning the entire NBDHE, with 1,250+ items relating to Component A — more than six times the number of questions on the actual exam! — and 420 case-based questions related to Component B. - Rationales accompany each question, fully explaining why each answer choice is either correct or incorrect and thus serving as secondary content review. - Distribution of questions matches each category on the NBDHE test specifications, ensuring that you have adequate practice for each content area. - An Evolve companion website includes all 1,250+ questions from the book plus additional case studies with color images and accompanying questions, available either in practice mode with instant feedback or in exam-simulation format with results and feedback provided at the end of the exam. - A test creator and timer on Evolve generates NBDHE-style tests that mimic the number and distribution of questions on the NBDHE and also provides realistic practice with time management during the exam. - 16 detailed case studies on Evolve, each of which includes a patient medical/dental history, completed periodontal chart, oral radiographs, clinical photographs, and 20-35 multiple-choice questions for patients in the five main categories covered on the NBDHE (adult periodontitis, pediatric, geriatric, special needs, and medically compromised). - References to text sources make it easy to review or find more information on specific topics.
Contains over 300 short answer questions covering the undergraduate syllabuses taught in the UK's dental schools. This book contains questions which are grouped by subject, enabling students to focus their revision on their weaker areas.
