This is a list of resources that you may find useful in your preparation for MFDS. In some subject areas we have listed several books, any of which you could use depending on personal preference. Some of the books should be used for reference only. It is not essential that you read all the chapters in all the books listed. Equally, there may be other books, journals or websites that you find more useful than the ones suggested here. We are always pleased to hear from candidates who have suggestions for reading and study materials.
Dental foundation trainees in the UK may find the e-Den modules helpful for MFDS preparation http://www.e-lfh.org.uk/projects/dentistry/
