Hello future dentists,
I’m Dr. Sehar, and if you’re planning to take the INBDE exam, one of the first questions you might be asking is:
“What are the best books and INBDE study materials I should use?”
With so many options out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Some students end up hoarding resources and still feel lost. But the truth is—you don’t need more materials. You need the right ones, used in the right way.
Today, I’ll walk you through my top recommendations, including study tools, books, and how my INBDE online course integrates everything into a personalized and proven prep system.
The INBDE is different from any traditional test you’ve taken. It’s not about memorization—it’s about:
That’s why your INBDE study materials must reflect how the real exam thinks.
The most successful students I’ve coached always use a blend of:
Whether you’re studying independently or working with me in my INBDE online course, here are the go-to resources I consistently trust:
(Available as part of my INBDE online course)
These aren’t just “books”—they are strategic learning tools. I also provide custom study plans around them based on your learning style.
Your INBDE study materials should also include topic-specific content for your weaker areas.
Here’s what I recommend:
| Subject | Recommended Text/Tool |
| Oral Pathology | Neville’s Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology (Select Cases) |
| Pharmacology | Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology |
| Behavioral Science | NBDE Ethics & Communication Review Sheets (via my course) |
| Evidence-Based Dentistry | Simplified Research Worksheets (included in my INBDE online course) |
In our sessions, I provide simplified, condensed versions of these materials, so you focus only on what matters most.
Reading alone doesn’t guarantee success. The secret is active testing.
That’s why I include INBDE mock exams as part of every student’s journey. Here’s how we do it:
Mock exams are not about seeing what you know. They’re about showing you how to think like the exam.
Unlike generic prep platforms, my course is personalized, flexible, and results-driven. It includes:
Whether you’re a full-time student, working professional, or retaker—I adapt the course to your life and learning style.

Let’s replace overwhelm with strategy.
The most important isn’t the book—it’s the strategy behind it. I help you use each book effectively through mock exams and coaching.
No. We use targeted topic reviews, high-yield sections, and question-based integration. Efficiency is key.
I recommend doing 1 mini-mock per week and 2 full-length mocks before your real exam.
