DANB’s Conventional Dental Radiography Review Course
DANB’s Conventional Dental Radiography Review Course was developed for chairside assistants or dental assisting students who have some background in dental radiography, and a basic understanding of dental radiography vocabulary and general dental assisting duties. The interactive review course covers basic radiation biology concepts, radiographic processing and exposure, mounting and labeling procedures, infection control techniques and quality assurance procedures. DANB's Conventional Dental Radiography Review Course is accessible for 90 days after purchase, allowing learners to revisit topics, take notes, and review the course information as many times as desired during the 90-day period.
DANB’s ABCP: Accounts Receivable 
Designed for dental office managers, dental assistants and receptionists, DANB’s ABCP: Accounts Receivable is an interactive professional development course covering accounts receivable topics for the dental office. During the online course, participants learn about accounts receivable, develop dental practice financial policy and financial agreement templates for the employer’s consideration, demonstrate knowledge of payment methods and billing stages, and enhance their communications skills in the area of accounts receivable. DANB’s ABCP: Accounts Receivable is accessible for 90 days after purchase, allowing learners to revisit topics and take notes before completing the post-course assessment.
The American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM) includes successful completion of a variety of DANB's ABCPs in its list of requirements to earn status as a Fellow of AADOM (FAADOM).

About DANB
DANB is the nationally recognized premier certification
agency for dental assistants. Since 1948, the Dental Assisting National Board, Inc. (DANB), a nonprofit organization,
has played a vital role in the oral healthcare community. Recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA)
as the national credentialing agency for dental assistants, DANB serves the public good by providing a means of
identifying qualified and competent dental assistants and by measuring and promoting excellence
in oral healthcare delivery. DANB exam programs are accredited by the National Commission for
Certifying Agencies (NCCA).
As a Mark of Dental Assisting Excellence™, DANB Certification is a source of pride for those who achieve it. For those dental assistants who meet the eligibility and exam requirements, certification may be earned in one or more of the following areas: • Certified Dental Assistant – CDA®
• Certified Orthodontic Assistant – COA®
In addition to these national credentials, DANB offers Certificates of Competency in Radiation Health and Safety (RHS®) and Infection Control (ICE®). Passing either or both of these exams allows a dental assistant to demonstrate competence in these two areas that are very important to the health and safety of oral healthcare workers and patients alike. The RHS and ICE exams are components of the CDA exam. ICE is also a component of the COA exam. Individuals have the opportunity to take these components separately and earn separate certificates, which make an impressive demonstration of personal achievement.
