Remember: Passing the LDS or ORE does not give you the automatic right to work in the UK. Other factors to be considered are as follows: Clinical experience and qualifications EEA employment laws and competition for posts Which is easier the LDS exam or the ORE Exam? Both exams are very variable in their inherent difficulty. If money is not an issue, many students go for both the LDS Exam and the ORE Exam, to spread their bets. However, if money is an issue and you are located within the EU, the ORE Exam is recommended as there have been some historical jurisdictional issues with the LDS. If you are outside the EU and your degree is not recognised, it is better to go for the LDS.
Both exams allow you to do the same thing, the only difference is about whether your initial dental degree is recognised by either institution. LDS places are inherently more scarce as the exam board annually only allows 120 candidates for the LDS part 1 - and up to up to 55 candidates for LDS part 2. Retake policy There are two parts to the exam, you can fail each part up to a maximum of 4 times. If you pass the LDS Part 1 you will need to pass the second part within 5 years. The LDS board does not guarantee that there will be spaces on each examination day, therefore it is strongly advised that you book your place well in advance. Each LDS Part 1 has a capacity of 80 candidates, whereas LDS part 2 only has space for 40.
