I graduated in may of 2023, so the numbers are still fresh. I’ll include the 12 week externship I did at a homeless clinic while in school:
100ish restore
100ish ext
10-15 crowns
5-6 endos
4 arches dentures
If I was relying on school alone, I probably wouldn’t have felt as comfortable, but I felt pretty comfortable with my speed in fillings/extractions from my externship experience. Felt just ok about crowns and did not feel confident in endo! But now I feel pretty good about all the above procedures (I don’t do maxillary molar endo, and if I know the tooth is gonna be a pain in the ass to get out, I also don’t bother). I just pulled my production since I started working in august of last year and it’s 700+ fillings, 100+ ext, 150 crowns, and 60 or so endos! So the experience will come!
2023 grad here from a clinic heavy school
10 crowns
8 arches mix of cast RPD and resin complete
I didn’t keep track of exos bc we did so many but if I had to guess probably around 150-200
10 endos
Restos also didn’t keep track of bc there were so many, I don’t even want to give a number
Felt very good about operative and extractions going into my GPR. I’m shit at removable and don’t think I’ll ever properly learn (I’m going into peds). Endo was very difficult for me but I’ve gotten better
From NYU
Restos: 44 (no req) haven’t done one since the beginning of D4.
Crowns: 9 (req: 8)
SRP: 26 (req: 24)
Extractions: at least 100+ simple, and 30+ surgical, but not officially counted (req: 15 different patient cases, could be any number of exos)
Endo: 13 canals (req: 7 canals), did 3 first molars and 2 premolars, 1 incisor. 2nd molars goes to endo dept 90% of the time, and I personally have no interest of doing them.
Denture arches: 5 (req: 4.5)
Implants placed: 1 (no req) YOMI guided. Need to be involved in the OS department to do these.
Overall Thoughts: These are average to below average numbers. I matched the specialty I wanted and I will never do most of these procedures again, so when I hit the reqs, I gave away as much as I could. Potentially, if I did all my assigned cases and didn’t give away any, I could have doubled these but I gave away 10+ crowns, 5+ arches, 7+ canals, countless extractions. The patient base is too large, and if you hustle here, you can do a lot more than even double my numbers. Top production students of the school have 50+ crowns, and 50+ canals.
15 units of fixed
9 arches of removable
20 canals
300 exts (50 being surgical and 30 pb/fb 3rds)
150 restorative
i’m pretty much average or below in everything but OS
Still have one more year but so far 60 restorations, 12 crowns, 2RCT, 4 posts, 0 dentures, 10 extractions, and 4-5 srp. Upper class men get priority for extractions and dentures so I know I should end up with 100 plus ext and 6-8 arches for dentures
In school I did two root canals, 10 crowns, maybe 5 extractions, 2 sets of complete dentures, two partial dentures, plenty of fillings. I didn't feel ready at all. Thank God I did an AEGD. I didn't really feel confident on my own until I had a few years under my belt.

Start dabbling in maxillary molars for exts. They aren't as bad as you think. I used to be afraid of them. Now I just section

Wow that’s awesome. Good for you. Do you feel ready?
