Chapter 503 of the Acts of 1970 enlarged the membership of the Board by providing for the appoint- ment of additional members in 1971, 1973 and 1975 until the full membership is reached.

Examinations, held twice every year, are both written and practical. Every dentist and every dental hygienist must register annually (Code 1957, 1971 Repl. Vol., Art. 32).
