What is the MFDS Part 2 OSCE, and how do you practise for it?
The Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery (MFDS) Part 2 OSCE of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, pitched at the standard of a dentist completing UK Dental Foundation Training and entering Dental Core Training. MedMock practises eight spoken 7-minute OSCE and unseen-case station types (each after 2 minutes of reading time): History & Information Gathering, Communication, Consent & Explanation, Breaking Bad News, Ethics & Candour, Paediatric Consultation, Prescribing, Therapeutics & Cross-Infection Viva, Diagnostic & Treatment Planning — Patient History, Diagnostic & Treatment Planning — Examiner Oral, and Medical Emergencies in Dental Practice Viva. MedMock lets you practise it out loud against an AI patient, with examiner-style feedback on any station you finish.

MFDS Part 2 OSCE practice, on demand
MedMock gives you a simulated patient who responds realistically, available 24/7. Pick a station, have a spoken conversation, and ask for examiner-style feedback when you finish, scored against what genuinely matters in the MFDS Part 2.
How it works
Choose a station
Pick from 8 station types drawn from the real MFDS Part 2 curriculum, or run a full mock that takes you through them as a circuit.
Have the conversation
Speak naturally, out loud. The AI patient or examiner responds in real time — with follow-up questions, emotions, cues and unexpected turns, just like the real stations.
Get instant feedback
The moment you finish, you get specific, examiner-style feedback and a score — what you did well, what cost you marks, and precisely what to fix before the next attempt.
Practise every station
MedMock practises the spoken OSCE and unseen-case stations of the Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery (MFDS Part 2) examination across eight 7-minute station types (each after 2 minutes of reading time): History & Information Gathering; Communication, Consent & Explanation; Breaking Bad News, Ethics & Candour; Paediatric Consultation; Prescribing, Therapeutics & Cross-Infection Viva; Diagnostic & Treatment Planning — Patient History; Diagnostic & Treatment Planning — Examiner Oral; and Medical Emergencies in Dental Practice Viva.
OSCE — History & Information Gathering
7-minute MFDS Part 2 OSCE encounter (after 2 minutes of reading time). Take a structured dental, pain, medical, medication and social history from a simulated patient — bleeding/anticoagulant screen, bisphosphonates/MRONJ risk, infective endocarditis risk, dental anxiety, and red flags.
OSCE — Communication, Consent & Explanation
7-minute MFDS Part 2 OSCE encounter (after 2 minutes of reading time). Explain a dental diagnosis, discuss treatment options (endodontic therapy, surgical extraction, periodontal therapy, fixed or removable prosthodontics), obtain Montgomery-standard informed consent, or deliver post-operative instructions in plain English.
OSCE — Breaking Bad News, Ethics & Candour
7-minute MFDS Part 2 OSCE encounter (after 2 minutes of reading time). Counsel a patient on an urgent two-week-wait suspected oral cancer referral, make a GDC Duty of Candour disclosure following an iatrogenic complication (separated endodontic instrument, oro-antral communication, wrong-tooth extraction, nerve injury), or handle confidentiality and colleague professionalism.
OSCE — Paediatric Consultation
7-minute MFDS Part 2 OSCE encounter (after 2 minutes of reading time) speaking with a parent or carer. Cover paediatric dental trauma (avulsed permanent incisor, luxation), early childhood caries, molar-incisor hypomineralisation, inhaled or ingested dental foreign body, preventive fluoride/fissure-sealant advice, or child safeguarding.
OSCE — Prescribing, Therapeutics & Cross-Infection Viva
7-minute MFDS Part 2 examiner-led OSCE viva (after 2 minutes of reading time). Answer structured examiner questions on Dental Practitioners' Formulary (DPF) and SDCEP antimicrobial prescribing, analgesic regimens, local anaesthetic maximum doses, HTM 01-05 decontamination and cross-infection control, and IR(ME)R 2017 radiation protection.
Diagnostic & Treatment Planning — Patient History
7-minute MFDS Part 2 patient consultation (after 2 minutes of reading time). Take a comprehensive dental, medical and social history from the simulated patient for a multidisciplinary dental case, exploring presenting complaints, expectations, medical modifiers and risk factors.
Diagnostic & Treatment Planning — Examiner Oral
7-minute MFDS Part 2 unseen-case examiner oral (after 2 minutes of reading time). Review the special investigations, charting and dental radiographs (periapicals, bitewings, DPT, BPE and 6-point periodontal chart) to state your diagnoses, tooth-by-tooth prognosis, and phased treatment plan (acute stabilisation, prevention, definitive restorative/prosthodontic care, and maintenance/recall).
Medical Emergencies in Dental Practice Viva
7-minute MFDS Part 2 examiner-led structured oral (after 2 minutes of reading time). Recognise and manage acute medical emergencies in the dental surgery using an ABCDE approach and Resuscitation Council UK / BNF emergency drug doses and routes — anaphylaxis, adrenal crisis, acute severe asthma, angina/myocardial infarction, hypoglycaemia, status epilepticus, vasovagal syncope, and choking/airway obstruction.
Sample MFDS Part 2 questions
Two questions from the topics that come up most in MedMock's MFDS Part 2 bank.
“A 48-year-old patient with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes presents with generalised Stage III Grade C periodontitis, secondary caries under an upper first molar crown, and a missing upper first premolar. Present your diagnoses, tooth-level prognoses, and phased treatment plan.”
“A 71-year-old woman taking warfarin for a mechanical mitral valve and alendronic acid for osteoporosis requires extraction of an unrestorable lower molar. Walk the examiner through your peri-operative bleeding and MRONJ risk assessment and management under SDCEP guidance.”
Example scenarios
A sample of the MFDS Part 2 scenarios you can practise, each as a spoken conversation.
“A 68-year-old man on apixaban for atrial fibrillation and alendronic acid for osteoporosis attends with a painful, mobile lower first molar. Take a focused dental and medical history and assess his extraction risk.”
“A 56-year-old smoker has a persistent 2 cm indurated ulcer on the lateral border of his tongue present for four weeks. Explain why you are referring him on the urgent two-week-wait head and neck pathway.”
“A 48-year-old patient with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes presents with generalised Stage III Grade C periodontitis, secondary caries under an UL6 crown, and a missing UR4. Present your diagnoses, tooth prognoses, and phased treatment plan.”
“Two minutes after you administer an inferior alveolar nerve block and prescribe amoxicillin, your 34-year-old patient develops stridor, wheeze, facial swelling and hypotension (BP 78/42 mmHg). Talk the examiner through your immediate management and emergency drug doses.”

Can I practise specific MFDS Part 2 stations?
Yes. You can pick any of the 8 station types to drill a weak area, or run a full mock circuit to simulate the real exam.
