🇮🇳 VerifiedWorth every dirham. The mobile experience is smooth - I revised on the metro every morning for 3 weeks and passed SCFHS on the first try.
CRE5222 is the DHA code for the Consultant Restorative Dentistry Prometric exam, and its published blueprint splits the paper across 11 areas: esthetic considerations, basic implantology, endodontically treated teeth, complete removable prosthodontics, dental anatomy and occlusion, fixed prosthodontics, fixed prosthodontics, removable partial prosthodontics, applied dental occlusion, ethics and professionalism and infection control and patient safety. That list is the syllabus — questions are written to those headings from 10 named reference texts, so revision that ignores it is revision spent on the wrong material.

Once you're comfortable with the chapters, take a full-length mock under real exam conditions - 100 randomized questions, 3-hour timer, no instant feedback. Three separate papers so you can build stamina across multiple attempts.
CRE5222 is the DHA code for the Consultant Restorative Dentistry Prometric exam, and its published blueprint splits the paper across 11 areas: esthetic considerations, basic implantology, endodontically treated teeth, complete removable prosthodontics, dental anatomy and occlusion, fixed prosthodontics, fixed prosthodontics, removable partial prosthodontics, applied dental occlusion, ethics and professionalism and infection control and patient safety. That list is the syllabus — questions are written to those headings from 10 named reference texts, so revision that ignores it is revision spent on the wrong material.
The sitting is 100 multiple-choice questions in 3 hours — about 1.8 minutes per question — delivered on computer at a Prometric test centre. The 70% pass mark works out at roughly 70 correct answers out of 100. Nothing is deducted for a wrong answer, so an unanswered question is the only guaranteed zero on the paper.
The paper is sat by dentists applying for a licence under the Consultant Restorative Dentistry professional title. Consultant is the senior classification above specialist and carries the longest experience requirement of the three grades — expect the eligibility review to take longer than the revision. In practice the exam is rarely the bottleneck: the regulator has to accept your qualification and experience, and Dataflow has to return primary source verification, before a booking slot exists at all. Start that paperwork alongside your revision rather than after it.
This bank holds 200 explained questions cut to the same headings as the CRE5222 outline, each with written reasoning that also rules out the distractors. Retries are unlimited, and the timed mocks run at the real 100-question, 3-hour, 70%-to-pass settings — so the first time you sit this paper at full pace is not the morning it counts.
One body of content, seven regulators. DHA in Dubai, MOHAP across the UAE, SCFHS in Saudi Arabia, QCHP in Qatar, NHRA in Bahrain and OMSB in Oman all license the Consultant Restorative Dentistry title off a Prometric-delivered MCQ paper, and the overlap between them is substantial. DOH runs its sitting through Pearson VUE instead. What differs is the pass mark, the classification tier they will grade you into, and how many attempts they allow — not the medicine.
CRE5222 is the Consultant Restorative Dentistry Prometric paper. The code appears on your eligibility approval and on the Prometric booking screen — quote it when you book, because neighbouring grades of the same profession have their own codes and their own papers.
100 questions in 3 hours, which is about 1.8 minutes each. It is computer-based at a Prometric centre, and you can flag and revisit questions before you submit.
70% under the DHA guideline — roughly 70 correct answers out of 100. Nothing is deducted for wrong answers, so leave nothing blank. Other Gulf regulators publish their own thresholds for the same content, so confirm the figure with the authority you are applying to.
The published blueprint names 11 areas: Esthetic Considerations, Basic Implantology, Endodontically Treated Teeth, Complete Removable Prosthodontics, Dental Anatomy and Occlusion, Fixed Prosthodontics, Fixed Prosthodontics, Removable Partial Prosthodontics, Applied Dental Occlusion, Ethics and Professionalism and Infection Control and Patient safety. Our chapters use the same headings, so a weak chapter score points straight at the blueprint area to revisit.
No. DHA, MOHAP, SCFHS, QCHP, NHRA and OMSB each license the Consultant Restorative Dentistry title off a Prometric-delivered MCQ paper built on the same content. DOH runs its sitting through Pearson VUE instead. What changes between them is the pass mark, the classification tier and the attempt limit — so one body of preparation carries across, but each application is its own file.
DHA's exam guideline prices this sitting at USD 280, which is roughly AED 1,028 at the dirham peg. That is the test fee alone: the regulator's application charge and Dataflow verification are billed separately, and other Gulf authorities set their own amounts for the same paper.
It depends on the regulator. For the Consultant classification this paper belongs to: DHA asks for 5+ years post-specialty; MOHAP asks for 5+ years post-specialty; DOH asks for 7+ years post-specialty, plus interview panel; SCFHS asks for 5+ years post-specialty; QCHP asks for 7 years total, 5 post-specialty; NHRA asks for 5+ years post-specialty; OMSB asks for 5+ years post-specialty. Each authority counts those years against its own classification table, and they have to be backed by experience letters that survive Dataflow verification.
An eligibility approval from the regulator — your qualification and experience accepted against its classification rules — plus Dataflow primary source verification returned on your degree, licence and experience letters. The booking window opens after that, not before, which is why the paperwork should run in parallel with your revision.
Every crown, denture and aligner fitted in a Gulf clinic comes from a licensed dental laboratory. This guide covers the Dental Lab Technician paper (150 questions, 55% to pass) and the Dental Lab Aide paper (50%), the eleven official blueprint areas, the materials and occlusion questions that repeat, why CAD-CAM experience decides the job offer, and what technicians earn.
Read the guideThere are three papers — Specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Specialist Oral Surgery and Consultant Oral Surgery — and choosing the wrong one costs a fee and months. This guide explains which title fits an MDS, FCPS or FDSRCS, the official blueprint areas, the local anaesthesia, trauma and infection questions that repeat, hospital privileges, and salaries.
Read the guideDental hygienists and dental assistants are licensed separately from dentists in every GCC country, with their own titles, exams and pay bands. This guide explains what each regulator requires (degree vs diploma, registration, experience), what the exam covers, the fees, the DataFlow step, timelines and salaries across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Verified reviews from doctors, nurses, and allied-health professionals who prepared with this bank.
Worth every dirham. The mobile experience is smooth - I revised on the metro every morning for 3 weeks and passed SCFHS on the first try.
The dentistry bank is stronger than anything I found on YouTube channels. Especially the perio and prostho sections - very high yield.
Coming from an Indian nursing background, the GCC-specific patient-safety and legal-framework questions were the hardest. This bank covered them properly.
Passed my DHA on the first attempt. The chapter-wise breakdown made revision so much easier - I could focus on my weak areas without going through 5,000 questions randomly.
The referral discount + coupon combo made this really affordable for a family with two doctors preparing at once. Both of us cleared DHA back to back.
Loved the interface - clean, fast, no ads. The retry mode where you only see the ones you got wrong is a lifesaver in the last week before the exam.
The tier-based eligibility explainer was gold. Saved me from applying to the wrong authority. Consultant title granted by DOH Abu Dhabi.
Very well organized. The pass score prediction after finishing chapters kept me honest - I re-attempted the ones under 70% until I was above 85% consistently.
