To all candidates preparing for the Hong Kong Dental Licensing Examination (HKDLE): Registration for the upcoming exam sessions is currently open. As Part 2 (Practical Examination) and Part 3 (Clinical Examination) draw closer, we know many of you have entered an intensive preparation phase.
To assist you in preparing efficiently, we have summarized the official assessment mechanisms and core preparation strategies, accompanied by our specialized online courses. Meanwhile, we would like to gather your feedback through this article to explore whether there is a demand for offline hands-on training workshops.
What Are the Formats and Contents of Part 2 and Part 3?
- Part 2 Practical Examination: This part focuses on manual dexterity, clinical competencies, and adherence to clinical standards. It covers six major disciplines: Paediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Prosthetic Dentistry, Conservative Dentistry, Periodontology & Dental Public Health, and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. Strict evaluations are conducted throughout on infection control, aerosol prevention, and sharps disposal. Candidates are also required to adjust the phantom head to safe, ergonomic positions. Certain subjects also include an oral examination segment.
- Part 3 Clinical Examination: This part emphasizes diagnostic reasoning and comprehensive adaptability under clinical pressure. The examination consists of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) and a Clinical Oral Examination. It centers on real-world case scenarios involving radiographs and clinical photographs, requiring candidates to perform real-time diagnosis, treatment planning, and case analysis.

Survey on Demand for Offline Hands-On Training
While online courses effectively clarify assessment standards and operational procedures, many candidates have noted that Part 2 demands exceptional physical precision and familiarity with the simulation environment. To serve you better, we would love to hear your authentic thoughts:
Do you prefer staying with the “Online Course Guidance + Self-Practice” model, or would you like us to organize an “Offline Hands-On Simulation Workshop”?
