Dental exam questions from your own notes
Dental school reading is split across oral pathology, materials, pharmacology, radiology and operative technique, and no single bought bank covers the way your faculty teaches them. Upload the notes for one module and get exam questions written from those pages, each one carrying its quote and page number.
Free to try. No card and no account needed.

Why dental students end up writing their own questions
The INBDE is integrated, which means the questions cross subjects the way a patient does. Your module exams are not: they follow one course at a time, taught by the person who set them. Most students end up needing both kinds of practice and can only buy one.
Generating from your own notes gives you the second kind at the cost of the upload. A periodontics deck becomes periodontics questions. A materials chapter becomes materials questions. Each one prints the line it was built from, so a surprising answer takes ten seconds to settle rather than an argument in a study group.
What to upload
- Oral pathology, oral medicine and periodontics lecture decks, uploaded as the .pptx file, or exported to PDF if that is what you have
- Dental materials chapters, including the tables of setting times and properties
- Local anesthesia and dental pharmacology notes, and your prescribing handouts
- Radiology teaching files, where the text around a radiograph carries the fact
- Scanned or photographed handouts, read with optical character recognition first
Which question types to ask for
| Material | Ask for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Classifications, lesions and diagnostic criteria | Single best answer | One key, and the quote settles any dispute |
| Material properties and handling | Multi-select | Several properties matter at once, which is how they are examined |
| Treatment planning and case management | Clinical vignette | The integrated format the INBDE uses |
| Anesthetic agents, doses and contraindications | Single best answer and true or false | Fast recall on the facts that carry safety weight |
| Anything you will be asked chairside | Short answer | The grader scores your wording against the source |

Written on September 15, 2026 on the free lane, job 238, question 13528, from Oral Health in America: Advances and Challenges (2021) (National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, US National Institutes of Health), page 272, published under the Public domain (a work of the United States government). The quote is the line the check found on that page, and a second model from a different family picked the same answer from the quote alone. Nothing here was edited by hand.
Honest limits
- This is not an INBDE question bank and it is not affiliated with the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations. It writes items in that style from the document you upload.
- Radiographs, photographs and image-only charts are not read as images. Their captions and the prose around them are.
- Hand skills cannot be examined this way. Technique notes give you the knowledge questions, not the practical.
- Nothing here is clinical advice. It is exam practice built from material you chose.
What it costs
- Free: 300 verified questions a month with an account, which is a lecture or two a week, and 60 a month as a guest with no sign up.
- Exam Pass, $19.99 once: the priority models for the 90 days of the pass, plus downloads and an unlimited tutor, and nothing renews.
- A question pack of 500 questions, $5.99 once: the same priority models and downloads, with no subscription and the questions valid for a year.

Questions students ask
Does it cover oral pathology as well as clinical subjects?
It covers whatever you upload. Oral pathology works particularly well, because the classifications and diagnostic criteria are written out in prose that a question can quote exactly.
Can it generate integrated, INBDE-style cases?
Ask for clinical vignettes and upload more than one module in the same document. The stem can only draw on the pages it was given, so the breadth of the case follows the breadth of the file.
What about radiology, where the answer is in the image?
Only the text is read. A radiology teaching file whose captions describe the finding gives usable questions; a page that is an image with no words does not.
Will it work on a scanned older edition?
Yes. Pages with no text layer go through optical character recognition, and the quote check then runs against that recognized text, so a misread line costs you a question rather than giving you a wrong one.
Works in any language, and quality varies by language: the questions come out in the language of your document, or in the one you pick from a list of every living language. What works in your language, and what does not.
Preparing for a named exam?
INBDE, or the full list of exam pages. Each one prints that exam's published format with a link to the body that publishes it, and says what a generator working from your own file cannot do for it.
No account needed to try it. Registering keeps your library, grades and review queue across devices.
