LSU has not published its task list; practice the crown prep and check with the program.

How scoring works

Each checkpoint is measured from your photos and shown as within or outside, in numbers, in the same fixed order every time. The numbers come from the 2026–27 crown-prep criteria sheet for a molar (criteria sheet, read 2026-11-14): taper up to 12° per wall adheres, over 12° to 16° per wall is marginally substandard, over 16° per wall is critically deficient.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the official LSU scoring?

No. OslerPress is practice feedback against the 2026–27 published crown-prep criteria (molar), not Louisiana State University School of Dentistry's own grading. Your program and examiners decide.

What do I photograph?

Three photos of your prep on the typodont: occlusal, buccal and lingual, same light and distance, plus the sectioned putty index.

What happens at my second scored prep?

Your first score is free with an account. The second asks for $99 for 90 days, one payment, no auto-renew, 14-day refund.

Can my class use it?

Yes. Faculty create a class code free; students join with it and the $149/yr seat unlocks the full library.
