TEST BREAKDOWN

National Board Dental Examinations are comprised exclusively of multiple-choice test items. National Board Dental Examinations are administered in two batteries, called Part I and Part II.

The Basic Structure of Part I

Each Part I Examination consists of 100 test items. Part I Examinations will include test items that have clinical applications. The four examinations on the basic biomedical sciences are titled:

Anatomic Sciences
Biochemistry-Physiology
Microbiology-Pathology
Dental Anatomy and Occlusion

The Basic Structure of Part II

The comprehensive Part II Examination consists of 500 test items. The discipline-based component (Component A) includes 400 items and the case-based component (Component B) includes 100 items based on 8-10 case problems.

Part II examinations will include test items (approximately 30 percent) that have references pertinent to the basic sciences.

Discipline-Based Component (400 items)

The test items that comprise the discipline-based component are derived from the following disciplines:

Endodontics
Operative Dentistry
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery / Pain Control
Oral Diagnosis
Orthodontics / Pediatric Dentistry
Patient Management
Periodontics
Pharmacology
Prosthodontics

Case-Based Component (100 items)

The case-based component of the Part II Examination presents events dealing with actual patients. The patient cases are developed to include the following approximate distribution: Adults--70 percent, Children--30 percent. A minimum of 15 percent of Component B test questions will address the medical management of compromised adults and children. A compromised patient is defined as a person whose health status requires modification of standard treatment.
