The State Board of Dental Examiners (Board) adopts an amendment to rule §104.1, concerning continuing education requirements, without changes to the proposed text as published in the October 13, 2017, issue of the Texas Register (42 TexReg 5627). The rule allows CRDTS examiners to use time spent calibrating exam grading towards their CE requirement. Previously, the rule only allowed the same of WREB examiners.
