Identify gaps
Scan the 40-topic list. Mark the areas where recall is weak or where you repeatedly confuse similar concepts.
ORE Part 1 • Final Revision Hub
Revise what matters. Avoid last-minute noise.
A focused final-revision hub for ORE Part 1 candidates: 40 high-yield topics, a familiarisation exercise, selected UK Dental Exams resources, and a clear plan for the final stretch.
Revision-prioritisation guide, not a prediction list.
Use it to identify gaps and organise your remaining time. The ORE can assess any area within the published syllabus and current UK guidance.

Complete the ORE Part 1 Familiarisation Exercise
Spend a few minutes becoming comfortable with the question interface and navigation before exam day. The goal is simple: the software should feel familiar before you start answering real questions.
How to use this page
Don’t try to study everything again.
Use this page as a triage tool: identify gaps, reinforce what you already know, then use the linked resources only where they add value.
2
Revise selectively
Prioritise classifications, diagnostic criteria, management principles, clinically relevant numbers and commonly confused distinctions.
3
Use the library
Open a linked resource only when it closes a specific gap. Avoid turning final revision into another full content binge.
