I may be wrong, but I think the poster is out of state, but is looking for
patients for a person's sister that will be practicing in the Oakland
area so she needs to take the California exam given by the Board of Dental
Examiners.  Usually , this is given at U.O.P or U.C.S.F. up here and it
U.C.L.A or U.S.C. in the Los Angeles area. 
  
BTW..  If you need dental work and you have *exactly* what is needed for
the test, this is a great opportunity to get some of the best dental work
done and at a great price (Free).   My wife went through the test a few 
years ago.  Don't think you will be a "guinea pig".  The people taking the
test have been working on patients in the university or in private practice
in another state or country.  All the work is done is done under the strict
oversight of the Dental Board Examiners.  

The person posting this was a little brief.  Finding an "acceptable" 
patient is pure hell.  There are very specific requirements by the Dental
Board, so not everybody can qualify.  My wife looked at dozens of
potential patients in the S.F. and L.A. areas just to find the right 3
problems.  The test two years ago required a gold crown on a molar, deep
cleaning or root planing with just the right sized pockets, and an amalgam
filling (nothing too large).  They didn't allow porcelain crowns.  A tooth
with a root canal or in need of a root canal would create a problem for
the person taking the exam.  I doubt they would want to do a crown on a
root canal. 

AND...  at the risk of being commercial, if anybody is looking for a great
dentist in the downtown San Jose area, my wife has an office next to San
Jose Hospital.  Maria Gonzalez-Cook, DDS.  408-287-0913 or
toothdoc@netcom.com.  Small office, personal attention, etc.  Tell her you
read about it on the internet and your exam, diagnostic xrays, and
cleaning is $35. When you get there, you can grab one of the coupons on
her desk for 20% off on any work needed.  It's a good deal from a great
dentist..  Really.  :^)
