Hi there!

I took Part II of the ADC exam and was able to pass it after my second
try. I was able to pass the MCQ part in both exams bt flnked the !AQ on my
first. "o shold read all books they prescribed written by cawson #sr$ery %
patho& and pharma'& as well as the Cariolo$y book. (ind a book on dent mat that
isn)t so hard to read as Phillips so yo cold bild p well on yor clinical sb*ects
like prostho and resto. I read the one written by crai$. "o may se the +ocher
re,iewer #thick ble book' for the MCQ part since they $et some -estions from
there #especially on endo and prostho'. Carran.a is $ood for perio. I fond the
!AQ part more difficlt than the MCQ. An hor is so short to write a
comprehensi,e essay abot / broad topics. I find that they like yor essay to be
in otline form...expondin$ on each enmerated item. 0ssay topics from the last
exam are the followin$1 #2' mana$ement of a pre$nant patient& #3' mana$ement
of a discolored anterior tooth& #/' mana$ement of an apprehensi,e adlt patient
needin$ a sr$ical procedre 4 odontectomy& #5' what to say to the mom of a
pedo patient who in-ires abot the need for spplemental floride when their
water spply is already floridated& #6' primary and secondary dentre bearin$
areas...can)t remember the last one. Hope this helps... 7ood lck $ys... 8'
9he hard thin$ abot the !AQs is time mana$ement. 9hey $i,e yo an hor to
expond on three essay -estions& most of which are abot patient mana$ement.
9he -estions are sally abot sch broad topics as mana$in$ a discolored
central incisor or the thin$s yo wold be discssin$ with a diabetic patient
re-estin$ for an implant. 9he trick wold be to format yor essay in a way that
wold enable yo to write as mch as yo cold abot the $i,en sb*ect. 9hat)s
at 3: mintes per -estion! !o *st familiari.e yorself with possible -estions
#they lo,e $i,in$ -estions abot mana$in$ medically compromised patients
;read on cawson)s sr$ book<& esthetic restorations& smokin$ and its effects&
floride spplementation' and practice answerin$ essay -estions on a time limit.
I wold s$$est that yo present yor essays in an otline form...expondin$ a
bit on each topic yo write... $ood lck $ys ...
hello e,eybody..here r the -estions i had in the !AQ test..by the way & it was

books... that way i could compare and could easily remember the differences in
management procedures. the books that i really found useful were :
- dental decks (only the clinical reviewers for part 2 (
- boucher's reviewer
- craig, wattaha dental materials book
- cawson's oral patho, oral surg, pharma books
- davenports rpd design book \
- cameron's pedo book
- cariology by newburn
- 0 - dell's clinical management of cases
- schaffer's oral patho book
- clinical perio by carranza and/or lindhe
- sturdevant's operative dent
- shillingburg's F! book
- minor oral surg by howe
it's a short list but browsing through the list again, i realized that, without
meaning to... i was able to open up a page or two on almost all books in the list
in the course of my study...bear in mind that the more books you read, the more
concepts and points of view you get e"posed to... being in a country who's books
are more american#based, i had a problem embracing british concepts in the
beginning... but the more that i read their books and $ournals, the more that i
have begun to understand their principles...cross referencing is the key...
especially in sub$ects that are a bit confusing to you ...

Q3? i $et confsed& fond the Astralian Code of dental practise re disinfection
and sterili.ation please read the followin$
6.4 Ealidation of sterili.ation
3.6.4.1 An on4site chemical and biolo$ical test to establish that the loaded
atocla,e will consistently achie,e sterilisation. #A!MDT! 5>2613::2 Appendix H
is an acceptable ,alidation procedre (.
3.6.4.2 An atocla,e shold be recalibrated followin$ ser,ice& and the sterilisation
process also re,alidated followin$ ser,ice and any modification of techni-e&
packa$in$& load si.e or content& also any technical chan$es to the atocla,e. If
there is no de,iation from the ,erified sterilisin$ process& sterility of processed
instrments can be assmed .
3.6.4.3 As confirmation that instrments ha,e been exposed to the ,erified
sterilisation process& chemical indicators shold be inclded in e,ery
loadMpacka$e. Any chan$e in color #e$ li$htenin$' may indicate that the
atocla,e has become inefficient and cannot be relied pon to prodce acceptable
sterility .
3.6.4.4 Monthly biolo$ical testin$ of the atocla,e is s$$ested to confirm on$oin$
,alidation of the sterilisation process .
3.6.4.5 Clear and ade-ate records shold be kept of rotine testin$ of the
atocla,e .
Any failre of a biolo$ical test indicates a need for re,alidation or ser,ice .
the ri$ht answer here is
ChemicalMcolor indicator ea load biolo$ical monthly
bt its not a choice in or paper
Q26 did someone find confirmation in textbook= or is it answer C
please help
thanks e,eryone and all the best
