This is NOT a one stop source for even PASSING the boards as the preparation will be more demanding than this book. Having taken the boards twice; I've come to the conclusion that this guide goes superficially into MOST topics that you will find on the NBDE part II. Its great for glossing through once you have gone through the Decks a number of times, Mosby's part II (which I highly reccomend), and as many ADA released examinations as you can. Once you have gone through those recources THEN hit first aid and that will help you identify any type of deficiences you will have in the subject areas. The next step is to obviously use all your resources to fill in those gaps as the boards can ask you the question from different aspect and in varying levels of detail.Here are some examples of what I'm talking about as far as detail is concerned:Pharmacology: First Aid does list the name of the drugs; their basic effects; and what they are prescribed for. However what it does NOT give much of are drug interactions, contraindicaitons, and adverse effects: which is essential information.Oral Pathology: The descriptions are brief and to the point. However the examination has evolved in this section and has become heavier in radiographic/histologicalinterpretation; and I found first aid to be weak in this area.Perio: I would like a further description on the flap procedures, perio Tx planning, and grafting (as these are MAJOR issues for the exam).Operative/Prosth: Simply needs a bit more info; I would like to see illustrations of tooth preps/retention and how to Tx plan restorations.
