SUNY Buffalo

DDS is instituting a special program specifically for those preparing for the Bench Test at SUNY Buffalo. This exam is given on November 23rd this year and is very comprehensive. They have recently dramatically increased the size of their program and will be aiming to accept many more international dentists as students, but the competition will increase dramatically as well.

The practical exam at SUNY Buffalo consists of many parts, including preparations, restorations, both with amalgam and composite, full ceramic crowns, a fixed partial denture part, and an RPD design part, including surveying a cast. While these procedures form parts of a variety of our programs, they are being combined in the SUNY Buffalo program to make the preparation as efficient and specific as possible for the skill-set tested there.

The examination will be carried out on a Kilgore typodont. This typodont requires much more control than does the Columbia typodont used at many other schools. While the strategy of the preparation procedure is going to be the same, the consequences of a small mistake can be more dramatic. In our program, we will practice strictly with the Kilgore typodonts, and Dr. Duggan will make it very clear what particular characteristics of this typodont must be taken into account that are not at all obvious to the newcomers.

This program is still offered as a nine-day course, as with our general Fundamental Restorative Technique program, and is offered at the same price, $3200. It will not include the 3/4 crown or the MOD gold onlay, but the restorations part will be very comprehensive and should allow each student to do far better than previous performance and be in an excellent competitive position.

Univ Colorado Practical Exam - Online Preparation!

The University of Colorado School of Dentistry entrance exams will be coming up before you know it! Last year they were on May 2 and May 9, and it will be similar this year. These are the first practical exams for 2010, and there is still time to prepare - but that also means that there is time to do a comprehensive preparation.

This is a good time to take our Online FRT (Fundamentals of Restorative Techniques) program, which is designed to help you prepare for practical examinations.

Check out our dentistCEprogram.com website for a complete description, even including homework assignments that you do at home and send to me so I can evaluate your preparations onto a DVD.

If you can get here, we have 18 day courses early in the year, since people aren't in so much of a last-minute rush, and 9-day programs for those who can't stay out here quite as long. But if you cannot come out even that long - it is highly recommended to take the much less costly online program. If you have done a comprehensive job with the online program - you can even come out for a three-day hands-on, real-time, one-on-one with me to really make sure that you are doing things in the most effective way and safe way - and I will show you how to work more quickly and still get excellent work done.

We offer many ways that you can learn what you need to.

Please don't wait until you get an invitation to a school interview before starting to prepare! First of all, you won't have time to learn what you need to. And, taking the course earlier will definitely help you get the invitation!

February, March and April can be big months for your preparation for these exams - and making sure you know how to do many preparations with precision and confidence, based on a sound knowledge of all principles.
