Part II is a practical simulation test, and Part III is a clinical examination with MCQ and structured viva components. The fee is HK$10,650 per part. A single passing score and complete whole-exam station count are not publicly posted, so candidates should verify current-sitting logistics with DCHK.

1Under the Dental Council of Hong Kong Licensing Examination format, what best describes Part I?
A.Two written multiple-choice papers covering eight subjects
B.A live-patient clinical examination only
C.A portfolio review of previous dental cases
D.A practical phantom-head test without written papers
Explanation: Part I is the written test. DCHK describes it as two multiple-choice-question papers covering eight subjects, using a single-best-answer format.
2Which applicant profile matches the published baseline eligibility criteria for taking the DCHK Licensing Examination?
A.A dental assistant with five years of chairside experience but no dental degree
B.A holder of an acceptable dental degree after at least four years of full-time dental training
C.A medical graduate who has completed a one-year oral surgery rotation only
D.A dental hygienist who has completed local continuing professional development
Explanation: DCHK states that an applicant must have completed not less than four years of full-time dental training of a type approved by the Council and hold an acceptable dental degree or dental qualification. Good character and payment of the prescribed fee are also part of the application framework.
3A candidate has just passed Part I and wants to sit the next stage. Which option is allowed under the DCHK candidate guide?
A.Apply for Part III only without ever passing Part II
B.Apply for Part II only, or for both Part II and Part III in the same diet
C.Skip Part II if the candidate has overseas specialist registration
D.Retake all eight Part I subjects before any Part II application
Explanation: After passing Part I, candidates may apply to sit Part II only, or both Part II and Part III in the same diet irrespective of the Part II result. A candidate who wants Part III only must first have passed Part II.
4During a Part II simulated clinical test using a phantom head, which conduct is most consistent with DCHK expectations?
A.Wear mandatory PPE and follow universal infection control procedures
B.Wear a name badge so examiners can verify identity quickly
C.Use endodontic rotary files brought from home if the task involves root canal therapy
D.Ignore patient positioning because the patient is simulated
Explanation: The candidate guide states that adequate PPE is mandatory and infection control can be assessed in Part II. It also notes that the simulated patient must be positioned safely and realistically where phantom-head tests are used.
5A Hong Kong dentist prepares clinic website copy about a whitening service. Which wording best follows DCHK professional communication principles?
A.Guaranteed whitest smile in Hong Kong after one visit
B.Cheaper and better whitening than nearby dentists
C.Whitening may lighten tooth shade; suitability, risks, and alternatives are assessed after examination
D.Book today because untreated staining will ruin your appearance
Explanation: The DCHK Code expects public information to be accurate, factual, objectively verifiable, and balanced, including relevant disadvantages when treatment efficacy is discussed. The compliant wording avoids guarantees, superiority claims, and unnecessary alarm.
6Which tissue is the most highly mineralized structure in a tooth?
A.Dentin
B.Cementum
C.Enamel
D.Pulp
Explanation: Enamel is the highly mineralized outer covering of the crown and has the greatest mineral content of the dental tissues. Dentin and cementum are mineralized but contain more organic matrix and water than enamel.
7Which cell type is primarily responsible for forming dentin?
A.Ameloblasts
B.Odontoblasts
C.Cementoblasts
D.Osteoclasts
Explanation: Odontoblasts line the periphery of the dental pulp and form dentin. Their processes extend into dentinal tubules, which is why dentin exposure can be sensitive.
8What is the main function of the periodontal ligament?
A.It attaches tooth cementum to alveolar bone and absorbs functional forces
B.It produces enamel rods after eruption
C.It lines the oral mucosa as keratinized epithelium
D.It forms the pulp chamber roof
Explanation: The periodontal ligament is a specialized connective tissue between cementum and alveolar bone. It supports the tooth, transmits occlusal forces, and contains cells important for remodeling and repair.
9Which salivary function most directly helps protect against dental caries after sugar intake?
A.Buffering plaque acids and helping remineralization
B.Permanently sealing all pits and fissures
C.Replacing lost enamel with new enamel cells
D.Eliminating the need for mechanical plaque control
Explanation: Saliva buffers acids, clears sugars, and supplies calcium and phosphate for remineralization. These functions reduce the time enamel spends below the critical pH for demineralization.
10Why is a current medical history especially important before periodontal surgery in a patient with diabetes?
A.Diabetes may affect healing and infection risk
B.Diabetes makes local anaesthesia impossible in every case
C.Diabetes eliminates the need for plaque control
D.Diabetes is a contraindication to all dental radiographs
Explanation: Poorly controlled diabetes is associated with impaired wound healing, increased infection risk, and more severe periodontal disease. The dentist should assess control, medications, hypoglycaemia risk, and the need for medical coordination.
