Hey,

What are the required preps, and is it true that they plan on standardizing the preps? If so when?

 

[CAdentist2007]

the required preps are
1-# 4 MO Amalgam prep ony 100%
2- # 6 Mesio-linual class III Composite Resoration 50%
3-# 8 Disto-ligual class III Composite prep 50%
4-# 9 PFM 50%
5-#19 Full metal crown 50%

These have been standard preps .. Unless they make drastic change...

All the preps have guidlines if you follow them and practice.. it should be easy... I'm also hearing rumors that they are going to start RT again.. keep your fingers crossed....

Thanks for your input CAdentist2007. They have simplified this test , I remember when they had many more requirments incuding gypsum model.
I think I'll try it next time its held , do they still have it 4 times a year.
Do you plan on taking it ??

Rt is no more bench exam... everything is in mounted manikin.... I'm done with it.. and have moved on.. If you are in the list you should take it... its the best way to get license in usa... people who graduate from schools here end up accumulating hugedebts.. if you get this(RT) done you will be far ahead.. financially

good luck and if you need feed backs let me know..

they are offered several times.. you should check with California dental board

I was on their list when they used a lottery to choose applicants, never got my name picked off course, my question is do they still do it through a lottery? or you can simply apply now?? thanks CAdentist2007
