The Mongolia Dentist Licensing Exam study guide has 11 sections and about 3,761 words.
01Oral and Maxillofacial Anatomy, Histology, and Physiology
This domain checks whether you can locate structures precisely, connect microanatomy to clinical behaviour, and predict which nerve, vessel or gland is at risk in a given procedure. FDI two-digit notation: the first digit is the quadrant (1 upper right, 2 upper left, 3 lower left, 4 lower right); the second is the tooth 1-8 from the midline.
368 words, about 2 min02Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine
Recognition of mucosal disease, correct use of the biopsy, and separation of harmless lesions from potentially malignant disorders and immune-mediated disease. Leukoplakia is a clinical, exclusion diagnosis: a white patch that cannot be characterised as any other disease.
314 words, about 2 min03Cariology and Restorative Dentistry (Operative Dentistry)
Caries detection and risk-based prevention, minimal-intervention cavity design, and the material science behind a restoration that seals and lasts. Diagnose before you drill: ICDAS scores 0-6 separate initial lesions from cavitation.
344 words, about 2 min04Endodontics
Pulp and periapical diagnosis, correct determination of working length, chemo-mechanical disinfection, and the judgement call between conservative treatment, retreatment and extraction. Diagnose with sensibility testing (cold, EPT), percussion, palpation and radiographs.
341 words, about 2 min05Periodontology
Use of the current classification, differentiation of gingivitis from periodontitis, and construction of a risk-based treatment and maintenance plan. Periodontitis is defined by interdental clinical attachment loss (CAL) of 2 mm or more, or buccal/oral CAL of 3 mm or more with pocketing above 3 mm.
349 words, about 2 min06Prosthodontics
Whether you can design a removable or fixed prosthesis from named components, apply Kennedy and Applegate rules correctly, and control occlusion and vertical dimension. Removable partial denture components: major connector, rests and rest seats (directing forces along the long axis), clasps (circumferential/Akers, bar/Roach), reciprocal arms, minor connectors, denture base.
359 words, about 2 min07Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Safe surgical judgement: patient assessment, difficulty prediction, management of third molars, and recognition and first-line handling of complications and infections. Pre-operative assessment covers medical history, bleeding risk, anticoagulants, bisphosphonate or denosumab exposure, and airway.
345 words, about 2 min08Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry
Growth-aware malocclusion assessment, timing of interceptive treatment, and the special rules of primary and mixed dentition care, including dental trauma in children. Angle's classification uses the first molar relationship: Class I mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molar in the buccal groove; Class II the upper molar is mesial; Class III distal.
339 words, about 2 min09Dental Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging
Correct selection of the right image for the clinical question, safe dosing, and interpretation of anatomy and artefacts that mimic disease. Justification and optimisation: every exposure must change the management.
313 words, about 2 min10Pharmacology, Anesthesia, and Emergency Medicine in Dentistry
Maximum-dose calculations, correct choice of local anesthetic and vasoconstrictor in medically complex patients, and instant recognition of dental office emergencies. Lidocaine 2% with 1:100,000 epinephrine: 36 mg lidocaine and 18 micrograms epinephrine per 1.8 mL cartridge.
331 words, about 2 min11Infection Control, Dental Public Health, Ethics, and Professional Regulation
Sterilisation standards, sharps and exposure management, the principles of preventive dentistry at population level, and the legal-ethical duties of a licensed dentist. Standard precautions apply to every patient.
