Israel Dental Licensing study plan

Israel Dental Licensing · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics & Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Map the endodontic diagnosis tree (pulpitis vs. asymptomatic apical periodontitis vs. acute apical abscess) and state the decisive test for each
List the access-cavity outline, canal count, and common anatomic variations for every tooth type from memory
Explain the biologic basis of shaping, irrigation, and obturation and identify which errors cause each type of procedural failure
Outline the surgical extraction sequence, including flap design, bone removal, and sectioning strategy for a mesioangular impacted third molar
Differentiate odontogenic from non-odontogenic facial swelling by clinical and radiographic criteria

A one-page endodontic decision table plus a 10-step surgical extraction checklist, both written from memory and then corrected against a reference

Week 2

Solve 40 restorative/endodontic vignettes and log the reason for every wrong answer
Describe the indications and contraindications for vital pulp therapy, retreatment, and periapical surgery
Explain the management of a displaced mandibular fracture, including which patients need closed vs. open reduction
Compare the pharmacology and reversal of local anesthetics used in mandibular blocks and identify failure causes
Explain the management of a displaced mandibular fracture, including which patients need closed vs. open reduction

Three fully staged and graded periodontal cases with a justified treatment plan and a differential diagnosis list for each mucosal lesion described

Week 4

Answer 30 periodontology and oral pathology vignettes under timed conditions
Explain the evidence for adjunctive therapies in periodontal maintenance and state when each is indicated
Identify the radiographic pattern of the most common jaw lesions and cysts and match each to its likely diagnosis
Describe the referral pathway and urgency for a suspicious oral lesion

Week 5

Explain the design principles of a removable partial denture, including rests, clasps, and major connectors, and justify each component in a given arch
Compare the indications for a conventional fixed partial denture, a single implant crown, and a resin-bonded prosthesis
Explain the occlusal scheme and vertical dimension decisions in complete denture fabrication
Describe the timing and mechanics of interceptive orthodontic treatment for a crossbite and for a severe overjet
Explain the management of early childhood caries, including behavioral and preventive strategies

Two written treatment plans, one prosthodontic and one pediatric orthodontic, each with a component-by-component justification

Week 6

Interpret a panoramic radiograph systematically and list the common projection and positioning errors
Explain the radiographic appearance and clinical significance of the most common findings on a bitewing and periapical series
Explain the principles of cephalometric analysis and what each measurement tells you about skeletal pattern
Describe the management of a dental emergency in a child, including avulsion, intrusion, and crown fracture
Explain the management of early childhood caries, including behavioral and preventive strategies

A systematic panoramic reading template applied to five written radiographic descriptions, plus a written emergency trauma protocol card

Week 7

Explain the evidence base for fluoride, sealants, and dietary counseling and state the recommended recall interval for a high-risk patient
Design a community prevention program for a defined population and justify each component
Compare the pharmacology, interactions, and dental implications of the major drug classes used in dentistry
Explain the mechanism and management of local anesthetic toxicity and of a failed inferior alveolar nerve block
Describe the management of a dental emergency in a child, including avulsion, intrusion, and crown fracture

A one-page community prevention program outline plus a drug-interaction quick-reference table covering at least 15 agents

Week 8

Rehearse the recognition and step-by-step management of syncope, hypoglycemia, anaphylaxis, and a seizure in the dental chair
State the current infection-control requirements for hand hygiene, instrument reprocessing, and sharps handling
Re-test the weakest 40 items from the previous seven weeks and explain each corrected answer
Complete two full timed mixed-domain mock blocks and review every error
Explain the management of a patient on anticoagulants or bisphosphonates who needs periodontal or surgical care

A written emergency-response protocol for four medical emergencies plus two scored mock blocks with a final error analysis

Week 2: Score at least 70% on a 40-question mixed restorative and oral surgery block, with every missed item logged and rewritten as a rule

Week 4: Correctly stage and grade all three practice periodontal cases and match at least 8 of 10 jaw lesions to the correct diagnosis

Week 6: Produce a complete systematic panoramic reading for five written cases without omitting a standard search region

Week 8: Score at least 75% on both timed mixed-domain mock blocks and demonstrate a written emergency protocol for all four rehearsed scenarios
