INBDE Complete Guide and Study Material
Hello Dear Aspirants, In this post I will share INBDE Complete Guide and Study Material.
What is INBDE?
The Integrated National Board Dental Examination (INBDE) is a new written, cognitive examination for dental licensure scheduled to replace the current National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) Part I and Part II examinations no sooner than August 2020.
It is referred to as an “integrated” exam because it combines content from several disciplines, and test takers must integrate their knowledge of science with the clinical know-how involved in the safe practice of dentistry to answer many of the test items.
The INBDE has the same overall purpose as the NBDE Part I and Part II: to assist state boards of dentistry in evaluating candidates for dental licensure. By integrating content covering the basic, behavioral, and clinical sciences, the INBDE is expected to be more relevant than the current NBDE Part I and Part II examinations.

INBDE Syllabus??
The INBDE requires examinees to bring to bear basic and/or behavioral science knowledge and cognitive skills in clinical/professional contexts in a way that informs the licensure decision for safe, independent, entry-level competency in the general practice of dentistry.
The Domain of Dentistry represents the Clinical Content areas and Foundation Knowledge areas required for the safe, independent, general practice of dentistry by entry-level practitioners. It contains 56 Clinical Content (CC) areas and 10 Foundation Knowledge (FK) areas.
What is Clinical Content Area INBDE ?
Clinical Content areas represent the fundamental tasks that are performed by entry-level general practitioners. These areas are grouped into three component sections:
1) Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
2) Oral Health Management
3) Practice and Profession..
INBDE Test Specifications, by Clinical Component Section
1) Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning includes all aspects of diagnosis, assessment, interpretation of laboratory results, physical evaluation of structure, appearance and function, as well as background, characteristics, circumstances, underlying conditions and psychological, social or behavioral influences to derive an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, as well as reasonable and safe treatment alternatives for any patient
2) Oral Health Management
Oral Health Management includes all aspects of patient care delivery, including provision and modification of treatment, handling of complications, intervention outcomes assessment, and all developments that arise in the course of managing a patient’s oral health care.
3) Practice and Profession.
Practice and Profession includes the understanding, implementation and monitoring of effective systems, procedures and policies that support professional practice integrity, quality control and self or organizational performance assessment, as well as systems, procedures and policies that enable skillful integration of new knowledge, products and technology, and that minimize risk and enhance the quality of care provided or improve community oral health.
What is Fundamental Knowledge INBDE?
Foundation Knowledge (FK) Areas represent the knowledge, skills, and abilities that are required to successfully perform tasks represented in the aforementioned Clinical Content Areas. Knowledge in each area is applied by the dentist to aid in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of oral disease and to promote and maintain oral health.

How is Fundamental Knowledge and Clinical Content Area Relatable?
Many Students are confused between Fundamental knowledge and Clinical content area. Difference between these two is the former is for basic knowledge for particular disease and Clinical content is to interpret Diagnosis, Treatment Planning, Management and Procedure From Fundamental Knowledge.
Let me Explain with an example.
Suppose a clinical case is presented with trauma of 8 year child and patient's central incisor is fractured and patient complains of pain and sensitivity to hot and cold.
So, Based on fundamental knowledge, we can diagnose and treat accordingly. As root formation of central incisor is completed by 10 years of age. So it means root is incomplete formed and based on that fundamental knowledge we can conclude that Root Canal Treatment is not the right treatment plan. We can go for Pulpotomy and wait for root formation.
Lets Check out another example.
So from above question, we know that 2 g Amoxicilin should given in prosthetic heart valve conditions.
From 8 and 6 Fundamental Knowledge Reference is given.
FK 6 General and disease-specific pathology to asses patient risk
FK8 Pharmacology
From FK 6 we come to know risk factor for performing any procedure in heart patients.
From FK8 we come to know about medicine given in such patients
From 26 and 32 Clinical Content
From CC 26 we come to know the route and dosage of drug administer
From CC 32 Diagnosis and management of necrotic 24 in heart patients.
