 Good evening everybody. I'm going to take you guys inside a sneak peek of what we are learning this week inside the board exam prep Academy where I teach you guys what you need to know for the board exam to pass the board exam. Nothing more and nothing less we get right into it. So there's really focused studying so I'm going to show you an example of what we're doing this week so we are learning oral facial anatomy. So I have PowerPoints prepared for you and I give you lectures online per slide of what I want you guys to know for the board exam. What you have to study. There's different images there's different titles you know paragraphs but it's to the point. This is a lot more exciting than studying from your textbook isn't it, where you could read the chapter on oral facial anatomy if you wanted to. But then, guess what, you're going to be exhausted you're going to feel like you didn't learn anything. But if you let me teach it to you it's a lot more exciting. You could be, I don't know doing laundry cleaning the kitchen while you're kind of listening to me teaching you and there's going to always be something on the screen as well as we go through it so here's an example where we have it's about a half an hour to an hour lecture per PowerPoint depending on what we're talking about, but this is the oral facial lecture that we have this is one of them. And then at the end we always go through mock exam questions so let me just go through a couple with you. Okay, so I just kind of landed on this one. Okay, so the next question is coming in today to have his wisdom teeth extracted he is 21 years old. What do you expect his wisdom teeth to look like. So if you guys are thinking about this question, pause the video and think about it because I go right into the answer for you. If we're doing something live, then I give you guys a minute to kind of think about it. But in this case since you're watching a pre recorded video, pause the video if you're still thinking about it. So every mock exam question in the board exam prep Academy is we of course talk about the answers, but I'm going to tell you guys why one of them is the most correct because on the board exam, two answers are always the most correct. This is actually a very easy question so this might not be the best answer here. But so again you guys reading the question. What do you expect his wisdom teeth to look like. What is the best answer the roots are going to be fused because an oral facial anatomy. We talk about the cusp we talk about the line angles we talk about the roots. We talk about which tooth has a more sloped distal cusp. We talk about all of that so you would know how to answer this question from studying that so the wisdom teeth the roots are fused. Some of the wisdom teeth have three roots. Some of them have two roots on the maxillary they're typically fused on the mandible they might not be, but the roots being fused is the best answer because no other tooth has fused roots unless it's an anomaly and weird things but typically when you see in the x-ray fused roots you know wisdom teeth. Let's say they're missing a couple teeth but way in the back you see oh that tooth is just hanging out there. Is it a wisdom tooth are the roots fused that's kind of the first thing you look for so this is taking into account critical thinking as well. I always suggest to all of my students look at the other answers to and say to yourself okay two separate roots well which teeth in the mouth have two separate roots. So you're constantly studying but in different ways. You're not just reading a textbook reading my notes reading the slides. You're always studying in a different way and that's what I teach you which teeth have three roots. What about exfoliated roots why would roots be exfoliated. Primary teeth right the primary teeth that are about to be lost so we go through everything. Let's just go through one more question oh no that was kind of easy. Let's go through another question to keep it simple. Now that's an easy one to. Let's do this one. Okay, Kyle has interrupted wisdom teeth and he is 48 years old. They are not causing him any pain but you see them all in the panoramic x-ray. What are your initial thoughts so this is a great example of they're giving you a lot of things in the question pick up the keywords one uninterrupted teeth wisdom teeth so to be even more specific what's his age is he in pain. No he's not what x-ray did they take those are picking apart the keywords so what are your initial thoughts. Pause the video if you're still thinking about the answer. I do not need them removed at this time because it's not causing him pain and they're uninterrupted and their wisdom teeth. Okay, I get well any tooth if a tooth is uninterrupted you don't typically need them extracted unless they are causing you pain for wisdom teeth it is a bit different for teenagers we've been told for many many years now get the wisdom teeth out so you don't have to worry about them get them out while you're still under your parents insurance why not just get them out have it done. Age 48 is so different, you're basically putting yourself through something that isn't necessary, unless they cause you pain so that's kind of the best answer there. I could talk about the wisdom teeth rubber and inside the course I absolutely do, but just to give you guys an idea, this is how our oral facial anatomy lecture would go where I go through the lecture I teach you guys the topic and then we go through questions together. You guys can ask me questions anytime. In the board exam prep Academy we do have a members only Facebook group where you can also network with other students.
