X-RAY SCREENING AND REVIEW
Proper patient
and endodontic tooth selection are the most critical aspects of
passing the exam. Each year candidates are unsuccessful on the board
because of improper patient selection. Western Dental Consultants
will have an x-ray machine at the course all 3 days so you
will be able to take x-rays of your endo teeth and potential
patients. We will be available to review the x-rays with you.

containing hundreds of sample test questions similar to what you

prosthetics, treatment for complete dentures, removable partial
dentures & implants. These review manuals are
available on line to you after registering for the
course.
