ORE Part 2 Dental Manikin (DM) station guides
The Dental Manikin (DM) exam is the operative part of ORE Part 2 — sometimes called the DMT — where you complete set exercises on a manikin under exam conditions. These guides cover what each exercise tests, where candidates lose marks, and the questions we hear most. The exercises and teeth are set on the day; the full course walks through every station on video, step by step.
