Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ORE Part 1 preparation with MentoraMed.
What is the ORE (Overseas Registration Examination)?
The ORE is the General Dental Council's (GDC) exam for dentists qualified outside the UK/EEA to register and practice dentistry in the United Kingdom. Part 1 is a computer-based exam testing theoretical knowledge (Paper A and Paper B); Part 2 is a clinical examination.
What is the difference between ORE Part 1 Paper A and Paper B?
Paper A covers Clinically Applied Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Dentistry (Operative, Periodontics, Endodontics, Oral Surgery, Radiology, etc.). Paper B focuses on Law, Ethics, Dental Public Health, and UK Clinical Guidelines (GDC Standards, SDCEP, CGDent/FGDP, NICE, and BNF).
What clinical guidelines are tested in ORE Part 1 Paper B?
Paper B heavily tests current UK clinical guidelines, including SDCEP decontamination and prescribing guidance, CGDent (formerly FGDP) dental radiography standards, GDC Standards for Dental Professionals, and NICE clinical guidelines.
How does MentoraMed's adaptive learning engine work?
MentoraMed uses Item Response Theory (IRT) and spaced repetition algorithms to measure your mastery across every ORE domain. The system continuously adapts to target your personal weak topics, ensuring you review critical concepts at optimal intervals before exam day.
Is MentoraMed also suitable for LDS Part 1 (RCS Exam) preparation?
Yes. The License in Dental Surgery (LDS) Part 1 exam conducted by the Royal College of Surgeons shares an almost identical syllabus and format with ORE Part 1. MentoraMed covers the complete curriculum required for both ORE Part 1 and LDS Part 1.
