Tooth ID EXAM
Now that I look back on the oral anatomy and occlusion exam I feel like we had a disadvantage. I have spoken with a few dental students and they said they have plastic teeth that they studied for the same exam that we took. A third year studen even said that for there final they walked around to different stations to look at each tooth and stated which tooth it was. I studied the book, CD, flashcards and blackboard presentation and am still not confident with tooth identification. I found this course to be one of my favorites. The final exam was completely fair. I felt that we could have been presented with each tooth in another way instead of four pictures on a PowerPoint. Personally I like to see and touch objects when I study. I felt that we should have purchased teeth for this exam or borrowed them from other students and I would have done better on the final.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I feel the same way about this radiology test. I feel like I totally studied the wrong way for this test. The whole time I looked at artistic renditions of the dentition. When the final had real teeth which had a somewhat different appearance from the pictures I studied. At least now I know how to study for the boards.
