Dentistry in an excel (Dentistry, BDS, MFDS revision textbook) 150 page - PDF document

This 150 page textbook is a complete, streamlined compilation of personal revision notes, created during my Bachelor of Dental Science (BDS) at the University of Bristol, which ultimately helped me graduate with a Distinction.

It is designed for busy dental students who want a single, reliable resource that spans the entire undergraduate curriculum. The content ranges broadly from Restorative Dentistry and Orthodontics to Paediatric Dentistry, Oral Medicine, and Oral Pathology, ensuring both foundational science and senior clinical topics are covered in one place.

In addition to undergraduate use, this resource is also a valuable revision aid for MFDS examinations, providing a structured, high-yield overview of core dental sciences, clinical principles, oral pathology, oral medicine, radiology, and prescribing — all of which are heavily tested in postgraduate dental exams.

All material from Years 1 to 5 has been organised into clear, easy-to-read tables, allowing rapid revision, better retention, and quick reference for exams, OSCEs, and clinical sessions.

The book is particularly strong in Oral Medicine and Oral Pathology, areas that many students find overwhelming due to their volume, terminology, and diagnostic complexity. These sections are distilled into logical, high-yield summaries that make learning and revision far more manageable.

A further key strength of this textbook is the inclusion of a concise, exam-focused summary of all SDCEP prescribing guidance, transformed from lengthy official documents into a clear, practical, and revision-friendly format suitable for both assessments and safe clinical practice.
