Materials used to study NBDE part one in Egypt

Most dental students and dentist in Egypt willing to do the NBDE keep wondering from where to get the materials and which books to be used and how.

From my experience and my friends who took the exam the best material is the Denta Decks.

You can find Dental Decks 2009 - 2010 in a bookshop called Shakespeare in Mohy El Deen St. in Mohandesen.

The Dentl Decks are 5 booklets

1) Anatomic Sciecne

2) Biochemistry and Physiology

3) Microbilogy and Pathology

4) Dental Occlusion

5) Illistrations

Also I find the "First Aid for the NBDE part 1" very useful. You can find it in the bookshop too.

Kaplan Review book is ok if you have enough time,, cause its alot ! Its avliable in in Shakespeare too and in Kaplan Center in Helioplis (El Hegaz St ) and in Dokki ( Dokki St. ) but you have to register their course to get the book (Which I dont recommend,,its not that useful ! )
