Listed criteria are to be accorded equal importance in grading. Equal importance does not mean that each criterion has a numerical or point value but means that any one of the criteria, if missed to a severe enough degree so as to render the completed part or procedure potentially useless or harmful to the patient in the judgment of the examiner, could result in a failing grade on the part or procedure.

1. Class II Amalgam and Class III Composite on Patients. This part of the Practical or Clinical Examination shall consist of a preparation procedure and a restoration procedure. The following areas will be assessed in determining a grade for each procedure:

a. through 4. No change.
