LDS revision book study guide

Our lds revision book guide explains what overseas dentists need: the Ultimate Guide for Overseas Dentists walks through Part 1 syllabus themes in a logical order. Read a chapter, then test yourself with matching questions from the question bank or free practice set — not passive highlighting alone.

At £150 (or £250 bundled with the question bank), it is the core self-study resource most LDS Part 1 candidates buy first. Pair it with mock exam papers in your final weeks for timed exam practice.

This LDS revision book guide supports overseas dentists preparing for the LDS route to UK registration. Use our LDS revision book resources alongside official GDC guidance and Enamel Academy shop products for structured LDS preparation. See also: LDS question bank, LDS Part 1 course.

The £250 bundle combines both resources — the highest-yield Part 1 package for most candidates.

LDS revision book — common questions

Is the revision book written for LDS or ORE?

It is titled ORE/LDS Part 1 Revision Book because both written exams share overlapping syllabus themes and SBA/EMQ formats. It is suitable for LDS Part 1 preparation.

Should I buy the book or the question bank first?

Many candidates start with the book for structured syllabus coverage, then add the question bank for daily retrieval practice. The £250 bundle gives you both at a discount.

Does the revision book cover the full LDS Part 1 syllabus?

It is designed for Part 1 written exam preparation across applied clinical sciences. Cross-reference official LDS syllabus documents alongside the book chapters.

How long does it take to work through the book?

Most candidates spread it over two to four months alongside daily question practice — one or two chapters per week depending on your schedule.

Can I use the revision book without any other resources?

The book is a strong foundation, but pairing it with the question bank and at least one mock paper significantly improves exam readiness through active recall and timed practice.

Is there a digital version of the revision book?

Check the product page for current format and delivery options — details may vary. The physical book remains the core Part 1 resource for most candidates.
