Hi guys!Congratulations to those who have been invited for interviews and patience to those who have not.I am sure that everybody does their best to get an acceptance and what I suggest is to share some statistics such as EE score,TOEFL or IELTS,GPA ,interview call or rejections.We can see an example in a parallel US thread.I hope this information would help us to understand better what are particular prerequisites for a concrete dental school and improve our weaker areas.So mine statistics is GPA.3.33,EE 88%,IELTS 8.0,9 years of experience.
So far rejected interview from Manitoba,Toronto.
Be more active guys!Information is our power.

this is for all the general dentists the new process is going to be like the one already in Quebec.

As far as I know and someone correct me if I'm wrong..in Quebec you write a written exam and then a clinical exam to get your licence..but you only can take the exam 2 times and if you fail you can't ever take it again.

The certification process for graduates of non-accredited dental programs will undergo changes beginning in 2011. As of January 1, 2011, in order to obtain certification as a general dentist in Canada, graduates of non-accredited dental programs will be required to:

1. Successfully complete a Qualifying or Degree Completion Program at an accredited Canadian university,​
OR

successfully complete the Equivalency Process offered by the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB).​

2. Successfully complete the NDEB Written and OSCE examinations. For further information regarding the Equivalency Process please visit the NDEB website at www.ndeb.ca, or email [email protected].

thats what they wrote.. i still cant figure out whats the difference between this and the previous system.. anyone ?

Guys ! these r good news ! they've adopted Quebec process. its good becuz there will be less pressure and competition over limited numbers of seats in the QPs ! so ITD will split either this or that way. For instance a Dr with long and solid experience does not have to go to school again he'd rather pass these 3 tests rather than strugling for 2 years pro and spend 90 000 $ !

The most common site of a basal cell carcinoma is the:
a)middle third of the face
b)lower lip
c)tongue
d)oral mucosa

The most common site is the face with 75%...now I don't know if it's A or B because I couldn't find anywhere saying specifically the middle third. Does anyone know for sure?

A well defined radiolucency at the apex of a nonvital tooth is most likely an
a) lateral periodontal cyst
b) ameloblastoma
c) odontogenic Keratocyst
d) rarefying osteitis

I think it's D

Basal cell Ca most common site, middle 3rd of face. Above ala-tragus line.

rarefying osteitis do not usually possess well demarcated margins or does it?
it is an inflammatory lesion right?

I am kind of confused with the study process. The reference list on the acfd website is extremely long. Anything you recommend to study with? dental board buster? dental decks? kaplan?
thanks

this question is confusion because lateral periodontal cyst..can't be- the tooth is vital
odontogenic keratocyst- tooth is vital also
rarefying osteitis- the lesion is a ill-defined radiolucency..but the tooth is not vital
ameloblastoma-Unicystic ameloblastoma located on the periapical area of a tooth can lead to a pulp-periapical misdiagnosis, and should be considered in differential diagnosis...so I am leaning towards ameloblastoma

Any ideas????

agree ameloblastoma

i know it is middle third of face for the BCC.

For the apical radiolucency i still think it is rarefying osteitis, as it can sometimes present as a well demarcated lesion, ameloblastoma is rarely an apical finding
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
but it is quite confusing becoz ameloblastoma can form in an apical cyst the it can appear well demarcated and at the apex.....so i would say confusing
