prefixes and suffixes and a list of commonly used prescription abbreviations was added.
Frequently used acronyms were listed in a separate section for easier access and use. Appendix A, a

was strengthened, and Appendix B, containing a listing of State Dental Boards and their contact information
was updated. Most importantly, the number of dental terms defined has at least doubled.DANB's Glossary of

Because The DANB Review contains
the Task Analysis (outlines) for all of the national DANB Certification (CDA, COA, and
CDPMA) and national DANB component exams (GC, OA, RHS, and ICE), it is unnecessary for
those who have The DANB Review to also order the Task Analysis.
