Jordan Dental Exam study guide
Jordan Dental Exam · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Jordan Dental Licensing Examination is the credentialing pathway through which dentists trained in Jordan or abroad demonstrate the knowledge and clinical judgement required to practise dentistry under the oversight of the Jordanian Medical Council and the Ministry of Health. It is intended for dental graduates seeking first-time licensure, for practitioners returning to active practice, and for internationally trained dentists whose qualifications must be recognised before registration. The Jordan Dental Exam study guide has 10 sections and about 2,575 words.
01Basic and Applied Biomedical Sciences
Basic and Applied Biomedical Sciences underpins every clinical decision on the Jordan Dental Exam. Questions test structure–function links across anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, pathology and pharmacology rather than isolated facts.
280 words, about 1 min02Oral Biology
Oral Biology examines the structure, composition and function of teeth, periodontium, oral mucosa, saliva and oral biofilm. The exam tests how microscopic structure explains clinical behavior: why enamel cracks propagate, why dentin is permeable, and how plaque ecology shifts toward disease.
280 words, about 1 min03Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine
Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine tests the recognition, diagnosis and initial management of mucosal, salivary, odontogenic and osseous disease, plus the oral signs of systemic illness. Leukoplakia is a white patch that cannot be diagnosed as another disorder; it is a clinical term, not a histologic one.
252 words, about 1 min04Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics
Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics tests conservative preparation, adhesion, pulp protection, endodontic diagnosis, cleaning and shaping, obturation and restoration of treated teeth. Cavity design removes infected and unsupported tissue while preserving sound enamel and dentin.
269 words, about 1 min05Prosthodontics (fixed and removable)
Fixed and removable prosthodontics tests treatment planning, design principles, occlusal concepts, impression and jaw-relation records, and maintenance. Fixed partial denture success depends on abutment support, margin fit and biomechanics.
264 words, about 1 min06Periodontics
Periodontics tests etiology, diagnosis, staging and grading, nonsurgical and surgical therapy, regeneration, implant health and maintenance. Gingivitis is reversible inflammation confined to the gingiva; periodontitis involves attachment loss and bone loss.
252 words, about 1 min07Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Anesthesia
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Anesthesia tests extraction technique, complications, odontogenic infection, trauma, temporomandibular disorders, local anesthesia and sedation safety. Forceps extraction uses expansion, rotation and traction; the mandibular third molar is the most commonly impacted tooth.
247 words, about 1 min08Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry
Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry tests growth and development, diagnosis, appliance mechanics, retention, child behavior, caries prevention, pulp therapy, trauma and space management. Angle classification: Class I normal molar relation; Class II distal mandible; Class III mesial mandible.
261 words, about 1 min09Dental Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging
Dental Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging tests image production, selection criteria, radiation safety, technique, anatomy and interpretation. ALARA: use the least radiation that answers the clinical question.
233 words, about 1 min10Infection Control, Patient Safety and Dental Practice Management / Ethics
Infection Control, Patient Safety, Practice Management and Ethics tests standard precautions, sterilization, sharps safety, waterline hygiene, record keeping, consent and professional conduct. Standard precautions apply to all patients: hand hygiene, gloves, masks, eye protection and gowns when indicated.
