- After an arduous journey of surviving the first 3 years of dental school, the final tests await the fourth years: licensure and national board exams. In August I took the endo and prosth portions of the ADEX CDCA (a type of dental licensure exam, widely accepted in the East coast) while treating patients in the clinic and social distancing during the pandemic. It was a tough time but definitely has taught all of us to expect any changes and be more flexible. I'm happy to announce I passed (yay!!), and decided to share some realistic tips especially for those who overthink/ take too much time for each procedure. I am still getting used to talking to my phone camera so please bear with me as I do my best to explain my tips! (lol 😆)
So for the endodontic exam:
Tooth #8 (Anterior): access, canal instrumentation, obturation
Tooth #14 (1st molar): access (have to remove all the wax in the pulp chamber)
For the prosthodontic exam:
Tooth #3 (1st molar): Cast metal crown
Tooth #5 (1st premolar): PFM crown - and these two are abutment preparation for #3-x-#5 bridge
Tooth #9 (Anterior - do NOT confuse with tooth #8 for endo!!!): All-ceramic crown
For those who will be taking the CDCA, I wish you the bestest of luck!! I'm rooting for you~ 🦷🌱

Thank you Dr.Park for taking the time out to make such useful videos and helping students get an insight into what this exam entails. Found them extremely helpful!! Kudos to you!!!!
Super belated but glad u found it helpful!
@@glowin_teeth ❤️
“By liking the video,,, if you like it >.
bahaha if you like it...❤️yes what is ergonomics?! xD wow the exam is so far from now~ hope my tips get to help you even a little bit, although you prob won't need any tips since you'll be killing it :)
Glo Park Aww you’re too sweet...I’m mostly just nervous about finding the “perfect patient” lol
Thank you Dr. Park for creating this video. It's super helpful to me. I learn a lot about dentistry from your RUclips channel.
Love this ! So helpful, thanks Dr. Gloria!
Super belated but my pleasure!
Hi Gloria! Thanks for creating this content for fellow dental students 🙌🏼
Hope it helped!
Thanks for the informative video!
I have a question, please. How are we able to measure the walls to know that we have at least 1mm of support of tooth structure in the internal form criteria?
Soon to be 치과 의사 선생님이 이렇게 예뻐도 되는건G...... 공부하다 잠깐 쉬면서 넘 잘 봤어요 >.
T_T 아이쿠 극찬 너무 감사합니당~ ㅎㅎ 열공하세용!!!
Thank you so much! So helpful!. Is it possible to take pictures of your writings in the manual for endo and prosth. and share with us, please? Thanks!!
Sure!! I'll share the pictures today in my IG post around 7pm! @glowin_teeth
@@glowin_teeth Hi! Can you post the notes in your manual again?
Love your videos! They’ve been so helpful 🙏
I saw snippets of what seems to be a PowerPoint with guidelines, I was wondering if you have a copy of that PowerPoint that I could get to help with my exams this week?
Hii! I wish I could but I think the ppt file is technically a property under my dental school so I won't be able to distribute it, sorry! :/ I did see that some ppl took screenshots of my video though haha...^^;;
Current D3 taking my adex endo/fixed prosth in the morning wish me luck~
Oooohhh!!! A belated good luck to you and I'm sure you did wonderfully cuz you watched this video heh 😆lemme know how ti went!
@@glowin_teeth Thanks. We'll see, though because I feel iffy on my margin widths. Praying for a pass.
@@glowin_teeth I PASSED!
@@JackEffenBauer Yayyyyy!!! Congrats 🎊
Hi Gloria, would you be able to provide the dimension diagrams for the preparations that you made! That would be really appreciated :)
Hi Kristina! For ideal dimensions before submitting your prep modification request:
For class II, the ideal proximal box depth is between 2.5-3mm and pulpal floor depth is ~1.5mm. Stop before box depth becomes 3mm from the occlusal.
For class III, the ideal prep depth is ~1.5mm in depth with 2mm x 2mm mesio-distally and inciso-apically. Remember, only break the gingival contact, not the incisal contact.
Hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing this video! Could I get the guide please
Hey Natasha! Please email me at glowin.teeth@gmail.com and I'll send the endo prosth guide your way.
Hi Gloria thank you for the video. I am taking this exam soon and find your videos very helpful! I am wondering if you’d be able to share your two drawings in your manual with us? 🥺
Great job. I just had an issue with anterior Endo though, hand filed to size 35 and could not get my corresponding gutta percha to working length, I had to open up the canal more to size 45 and then after cementing in my gutta percha I was checking to make sure I had 10mm of clearance from the incisal edge, I noticed that the period probe slipped in-between the gutta percha and the canal wall, so instead of leaving that void I filled it with another gutta percha and laterally condensed, but I was failed for a void. tricky, I don't understand why the gutta percha wouldn't fit with the corresponding taper in the first place, lots of irrigation and recapitulation between files.
Hmm could be that you may have used too much force while handfiling and removed more tooth structure than is needed. I remember my endo faculty making sure I don't rush through any of the steps and use the files with very gentle force!
@@glowin_teeth After more practice, I'm hand filing up to a 35 K-file to the rubber stopper on the incised edge, no gates, no SX files, no wave one no rotary at all for orifice opening. Placing a .02 uniform taper size 35 gutta percha, it comes 2mm short of anatomical apex, what I'm noticing is there is still some of the reddish looking pulp in the coronal 2/3's of the canal after I seal and obturate just as I see in your video around the 4:46 - 4:47 mark. Also, just as in your obturation, my gutta percha is not entirely covered by sealer 360 degrees, you can see the colored gutta percha. Are either of those deal breakers? it doesn't say so in the manual. It Looks like you are coming up 1-2mm short of the apex as well, is that so? Thanks again for all your replies and the great videos. Cheers!
Great video!! Your videos are super helpful! Congrats on passing :(Im taking my cdca exam this fall and am international dentist, so i dont have access to a sim clinic. I was wondering how do you finish the obturation without heat? Do you just cut the master cone to 14mm? How are you sure its at working length bc its hard to check tug back if you cut it before? I really appreciate any advice/input you can give!!
I meant congrats on passing :))
Heheh thank you!! ☺️ so for CDCA as you are ‘obturating’ on a plastic tooth, so you don’t apply heat inside the plastic tooth as it will melt it. First you check for the tug back with the master cone, then AFTERWARDS you measure and cut it to 14mm. Then you dry the canal with paper points, mix your sealer, put a bit of sealer on size 25 k file and put into the canal, then coat the master cone (at 14mm) with sealer and insert into the canal. Unlike WREB, CDCA doesn’t have the radiograph confirmation aspect so the only way to verify the master cone once it’s been sealed is to check with the condenser with a rubber stopper. If you measure the distance from the top of the master cone to the reference point (aka incisal edge) with a rubber stopper you should be able to measure 10mm. Hope that made sense!
Very good
Thank you~ :))
Love your tips! Thank you!
Can you please send me copy of your pdf?
did your school provide you teeth to practice with or did you have to buy them? I want to practice for my cdca soon but endo teeth are $20 each!! so expensive...
Our school provided for us!
Thanku for this video...but please can you tell me are these simulation clinics open for international students...or only exclusive to students of that particular dental school ?
Hello! Yeah since the facilities (such as simulation clinics) are part of the institution, I would think the space is exclusive to their dental school students... but if you're an international student AT that dental school you should have access! If not you may have to practice in a private office and/or purchase materials for the manikin exam! (I've seen manikin shroud parts that can be mounted to your desk with a portable hand piece)
you dont use the checkmate for the reduction key. Can you comment on that, please? like is it easier, and if there are any tips?
Hey, what do you mean by checkmate?
@@glowin_teeth thanks for the response!
the blue piece that is sold by Acadental for making the reduction key/ putty
@@ammoula2974 hmm I think any putty matrix material is fine as long as you make it right - make it think buccolingually so they don’t get flimsy when you’re checking your reduction, hope that helps!

@@glowin_teeth yes, thank you very much!
