I was nervous about the DHA process from Nigeria. The eligibility checker on the site told me exactly which authorities I qualified for. Enrolled the same day.
Specialist Restorative Dentistry Prometric Exam
The Specialist Restorative Dentistry Prometric exam is the licensing paper dentists sit for the Specialist Restorative Dentistry professional title, listed by the DHA under code RES5221. It is the specialist tier, so the authority expects a recognised specialty qualification and the post-qualification experience set out in its classification rules before it will let you book.

Solid. A couple of image-based questions could use better resolution but nothing that changes the answer. Passed DHA tech exam.

The explanations after each question are what sold me. It's not just A/B/C/D - you actually understand WHY the answer is right. Cleared MOH Sharjah last month.
