This book will help dental students prepare for OSCEs at various levels, by providing them a wide variety of OSCE examples with answers from experts who have training and experience from different parts of the world.

It is believed, this is the strength of this book as it brings together expert opinion, different styles and experiences in OSCE design, which is not restricted to any particular country.

This book will help the student prepare for competitive exams and contribute towards integrated learning and assessment in clinical dentistry.

It is, however, neither a textbook nor a guide to teach clinical skills, but will help build on the sound knowledge of the relevant topics.

Subject-wise layouts of the OSCEs have been followed in order to help the student categorize the learning topics for ease in referring standard textbooks.

The cases are designed to test skills such as diagnosis, rationale for treatment, communication skills, problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

The book also aims at giving constructive ideas to academicians, who look forward to innovate, redesign, and implement OSCEs as a system of assessment.
