Overseas Registration Examination (ORE Part 2)
Walk into your ORE Part 2 OSCE having already done it — dozens of times
Practise ORE Part 2 stations out loud against a simulated patient who responds realistically, any time of day. Get examiner-style feedback on any station you finish, in seconds.
What is the ORE Part 2 OSCE, and how do you practise for it?
The General Dental Council (GDC) Overseas Registration Examination Part 2 for overseas-qualified dentists applying for UK registration, pitched at the standard of a newly qualified UK dental graduate (Safe Beginner under GDC Preparing for Practice). MedMock practises eight spoken station types across the ORE Part 2 components: five 5-minute OSCE stations (History & Information Gathering, Communication, Consent & Explanation, Breaking Bad News, Ethics & Candour, Paediatric Consultation, and Prescribing, Therapeutics & Cross-Infection Viva), the two Diagnostic and Treatment Planning (DTP) stages (13-minute Patient History and 15-minute Examiner Oral), and the 15-minute 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.

ORE 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 ORE Part 2.
How it works
Choose a station
Pick from 8 station types drawn from the real ORE 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 components of the GDC Overseas Registration Examination (ORE) Part 2 across eight station types: five 5-minute OSCE station types (History & Information Gathering; Communication, Consent & Explanation; Breaking Bad News, Ethics & Candour; Paediatric Consultation; and Prescribing, Therapeutics & Cross-Infection Viva), the two spoken stages of Diagnostic & Treatment Planning (13-minute Patient History and 15-minute Examiner Oral), and the 15-minute Medical Emergencies in Dental Practice Viva.
OSCE — History & Information Gathering
5-minute OSCE encounter (after 1 minute of reading time). Take a focused dental, medical, medication and social history from a simulated patient — pain history, bleeding/anticoagulant screen, bisphosphonates/MRONJ risk, infective endocarditis risk, dental anxiety, and red flags.
OSCE — Communication, Consent & Explanation
5-minute OSCE encounter (after 1 minute of reading time). Explain a dental diagnosis, discuss treatment options (endodontic therapy, extraction, periodontal management, fixed or removable prosthodontics), obtain Montgomery-standard informed consent, or give post-operative instructions in plain English.
OSCE — Breaking Bad News, Ethics & Candour
5-minute OSCE encounter (after 1 minute 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
5-minute OSCE encounter (after 1 minute 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
5-minute examiner-led OSCE viva (after 1 minute 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
13-minute patient consultation (after 3 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
15-minute examiner-led oral (after 3 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
15-minute 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 ORE Part 2 questions
Two questions from the topics that come up most in MedMock's ORE Part 2 bank.
“A 54-year-old patient taking apixaban for atrial fibrillation presents with generalised periodontitis, secondary caries under an upper molar crown, and an unrestorable lower premolar root. Present your diagnoses, special investigations, and phased treatment plan.”
“Five minutes after taking amoxicillin 3 g orally for prophylaxis prior to an extraction, a 46-year-old patient develops stridor, wheeze, facial swelling, and a blood pressure of 82/48 mmHg in the dental chair. Talk through your immediate ABCDE assessment, positioning, oxygen therapy, and drug management.”
Example scenarios
A sample of the ORE 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.”
