Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for prosthodontists. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Examine patients to diagnose oral health conditions and diseases.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Fit prostheses to patients, making any necessary adjustments and modifications.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Replace missing teeth and associated oral structures with permanent fixtures, such as implant-supported prostheses, crowns and bridges, or removable fixtures, such as dentures.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Measure and take impressions of patients' jaws and teeth to determine the shape and size of dental prostheses, using face bows, dental articulators, recording devices, and other materials.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Collaborate with general dentists, specialists, and other health professionals to develop solutions to dental and oral health concerns.
