Abstract: The objective of the thesis is to evaluate the validity of different examination questions in testing the theoretical information of fixed prosthodontics and to create a bank of exam questions. Materials Chapters 1, 2, 4, 6.1 and 10 of the textbook A Textbook of Fixed Prosthodontics: A Scandinavian Approach are used as the analyzed material in the thesis. Methods The different possibilities for testing the theoretical information have been identified based on the literature used. Different exam question types are used as testing methods for the crucial contents of the analyzed material. The question types are presented and evaluated separately using versatile didactic literature sources. Results A bank of exam questions created for testing the analyzed material is presented as the results of this thesis. Discussion The exam questions created and evaluated in the thesis can be used as exam questions themselves or as inspiration for exam questions in the future fixed prosthodontics exams. The precise analyzation and the creation of the exam questions based on the analyzation can be perceived as an absolute strength of this thesis. A clear weakness of the thesis is the fact that it was not possible to test the created questions in practice.
