Consultant Periodontics Prometric Exam

PRI5772 is the DHA code for the Consultant Periodontics Prometric exam, and its published blueprint splits the paper across 14 areas: periodontal structures, etiology, microbiology and immunology, examination, diagnosis, risk factors and classification, non-surgical periodontal therapy, periodontal medicine and pharma-therapeutics, periodontal surgical techniques and complications, inter-relation between periodontal therapy and other dental specialties, periodontal maintenance and long-term health, indications, contraindications and biomechanical principles for dental implants, pre-surgical assessment, treatment planning and site preparation in dental implant therapy, peri-implant soft and hard tissue management, surgical complications and management of peri-implant diseases and failures, maintenance of dental implants, patient safety and professionalism and ethics. That list is the syllabus — questions are written to those headings from 6 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 Periodontics 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 2,151 explained questions cut to the same headings as the PRI5772 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, DOH in Abu Dhabi, SCFHS in Saudi Arabia, QCHP in Qatar, NHRA in Bahrain and OMSB in Oman all license the Consultant Periodontics title off a Prometric-delivered MCQ paper, and the overlap between them is substantial. What differs is the pass mark, the classification tier they will grade you into, and how many attempts they allow — not the medicine.
