It should be noted that practice questions are not subjected to the same intense scrutiny—and do not undergo the same level of review—as questions appearing on the actual examination. When developing examination content, the best questions are always reserved for placement on the actual examination itself (as opposed to placement on distributed lists of practice questions) . The Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (JCNDE) recommends that you use textbooks and lecture notes as primary sources for study. These questions are provided to familiarize you with DLOSCE examination question formats. These questions may not be used for commercial purposes.  \nThe JCNDE communicates and emphasizes the following cautions to candidates and others. All practice questions are the copyrighted property of the JCNDE. JCNDE practice questions are intended for individual study by educators and students within CODA accredited dental education programs, for individual study. They may also be used for individual study by dental licensure candidates who seek to challenge the DLOSCE but have been trained by dental education programs NOT accredited by CODA. Practice questions may NOT be reproduced in any format, whether paper or electronic, without the expressed, written permission of the JCNDE. The JCNDE will consider and may grant, on a case-by-case basis, specific requests by dental education programs for reproduction and use of these materials within the educational environment in either print or electronic format.

All Rights Reserved.  \n2  \nThe Dental Clinic and the DLOSCE Approach  \nThe Dental Clinic  \n• When working with patients in a clinical situation, dentists diagnose and treat those patients, and perform many clinical tasks.  \n• Dentists rely on multiple sources of information that can include, for example: the patient’s verbal communications, visual observation of the patient, patient records, and patient testing results.  \n• The dentist considers many possibilities when diagnosing a patient. These possibilities are based on all available information concerning a patient.  \n• Some of those possibilities represent correct clinical evaluations, given the available information. Correct clinical evaluations help the dentist to properly understand the patient’s condition, thereby facilitating appropriate treatment.  \n• Some of those possibilities represent incorrect clinical evaluations, given the available information. Incorrect clinical evaluations can lead to a dentist choosing incorrect treatment options that don’t address the patient’s condition, and in some cases can even result in harm to the patient.  \n• Sometimes the information available to the dentist is incomplete or ambiguous. For example, a given radiograph maybe non-optimal in the information it provides, or the patient may be unwilling to share certain information (e.g. , drug use) . In some cases this information may be relevant to the diagnosis and to treatment options, whereas in others it may not.  \n• Clinical judgment involves interpreting the available information to make a diagnosis, and then identifying corresponding appropriate treatment and management options.  \n• Sound clinical judgment is essential to safe and effective patient treatment.  \nThe DLOSCE Approach  \n• The DLOSCE assesses clinical judgment.
