***News***


• NEW 2012 Study Guide - Order yours now


• NEW 2012 Outcome Assessment Test

The test question format has been modified to reflect clinical situations in the various disciplines. This will help program directors better assess a resident’s clinical understanding of didactic knowledge.


• NEW for 2010 ABGD Examinations - Implantology Exam Questions

An increased emphasis on implantology will begin with the 2010 Written Examination. Implant questions will comprise 3% of the examination.

Implantology will be a paired discipline for the Oral Examination, combined with both the Fixed Prosthodontics and Removable Prosthodontic sections.


• Fixed Prosthodontics & Removable Prosthodontic will continue to be separate disciplines

In 2008 the Board of Directors proposed combining these into 1 discipline. After further evaluation, it was determined that these will remain as separate disciplines.
