Average Customer Rating:  Dental Assisting Certification Test Review I can't tell you how helpful this book has been. Such a wide-topic,
I was studying for a month, and still not sure I was covering all the
information that might be covered on the test. The book helped me
see the types of questions and where the emphasis of the topic would
be. I scored a 98 on a test ... Hooray! Excellent prep for certification exams! I'm studying for the California RDA exam (not the same as the DANB RDA exam), and my background is strictly two years of on-the-job training. I did not attend dental assisting classes, but learned everything on the job. Needless to say, when you learn on the job, you don't learn things outside of the scope of your office's practice, so this is a great source of "catch-up" information.
I'm finding the questions hard-- because it requires you to know a little anatomy (which teeth have 5 cusps, of which 3 are on the buccal, and 2 roots), medical terms (amelogenesis, exogenous, granuloma,osteitis), radiography (insufficient KvP causes what problems on films?), a little OSHA (what's the purpose of MSDS?), a little chemistry, a little legal, and a LOT of infection control. This book teaches you many things you wouldn't learn on the job, because your dentist might be old-school, cutting corners, or just not up-to-date on OSHA... or you just didn't need to know it because your office equipment was already set up(like what temperature and pressure are needed to sterilize wrapped instruments).
I love the format of this book-- no fluff, no lengthy text. It's pure brass tacks. This book is strictly questions with 4 multiple-choice answers, and answers with explanation. I recommend, in addition to this book, a good dental dictionary that will help you with the vocabulary that the book doesn't explain. The book tends to explain the correct answer, and sometimes doesn't explain the incorrect answers.
I highly recommend this book. |  |
