Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (JCNDE), American Dental Association · Historical final NBDE Part I specifications (2020) and Part II specifications (2022), documented in Appendices A–B of the JCNDE 2022 Technical Report, published ©2023. The workbook combines two retired examination parts; its assigned slug is preserved. INBDE replaced both parts but its blueprint is not substituted. Clinical references checked for this sample as of 2026-10-09.
This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
