National Dental Assisting Examining Board © 2001 – 2024 National Dental Assisting Examining Board 13 Candidates who are ready to proceed before the five minutes have expired, may advise their Evaluator they are ready to start. Candidates will be directed by their Evaluator to place their mask and put on their gloves. Putting on gloves and placing the mask is not included in the allotted time for the skill. Once the candidate advises their Evaluator they are ready to begin the skill, the timer will be started. Candidates must advise their Evaluator when they are ready to have their work evaluated. At this point, the timer will be stopped and the candidate will be directed to remove their gloves and mask. If the candidate wishes to re-attempt in the allotted time, the candidate MUST informtheir evaluator BEFORE they leave the operatory. Candidates who do not request a re-attempt before leaving the operatory will not be permitted to return to make adjustments to their work, even if time remains to complete the skill. Candidates will be asked to leave the operatory/station to allow the Evaluators to evaluate the product. For the skills “Applies and Removes Dental Dam and Applies” and “Removes Matrix and Wedge”, the candidate will be directed to, and evaluated on, the removal of the dental dam and matrix and wedge BEFORE the reattempt. This is for the benefit of the candidate. Evaluation Form: Procedure As described previously, skill evaluation forms are divided into two sections – “Procedure” and “Professional Practice”. This section describes what candidates should know about the “Procedure” criteria for performing the skills, in the context of manikins as patients at the CPE. It addresses how the CPE will unfold using manikins. Exposing Digital Radiographic Images All sites use a combination thyroid collar/lead apron. Radiographic images will be exposed on a Dexter using the paralleling technique for periapical images and the RINN bitewing equipment or tab for the bitewing, with phosphor storage plates (PSPs). Information specific to opening and closing the Dexter and activating the exposure button will be provided. Candidates will NOT be given instruction or a demonstration on how to assemble the RINN XCP equipment for image exposure. Candidates must assemble their own RINN XCP paralleling equipment and place the PSPs into the biteblock for the periapical and bitewing images. If the candidate chooses to use the tab instead of the RINN XCP bitewing holder for the bitewing, they must place their own bitewing tab on the plate.

Two additional PSPs will be provided for retake exposures. Exposed images will be scanned by the NDAEB personnel in the presence of the candidate. There is no requirement for candidates to have any knowledge of scanning equipment or dental software. The timer is stopped for NDAEB personnel to scan and mount the candidate’s images. Images will be mounted on the computer monitor by NDAEB personnel the way they were exposed.
