All 27 of the most recent graduates of Pennsylvania College of Technology's dental hygiene major have passed the National Board Dental Hygiene Exam, the college announced.
The exam assesses the hygienists' ability to understand important information from basic biomedical and dental/dental hygiene sciences, as well as the ability to apply such information in a problem-solving context.
