WELCOME! The The Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry hosts the North East Regional Board examination in dentistry three times each year, in May, August and December. During the summer and winter series (August and December), the examination in dental hygiene is also administered.

It is our intention, through this site to provide you with the necessary information to aid in your preparation to take the examination at our facility. Although every attempt will be made to keep this site as current and accurate as possible, occasionally minor changes may occur which may not be immediately reflected within.

Dr. Leona Sperrazza is the site coordinator at the Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry for the Northeast Regional Board examination. She is your primary contact person and will answer your questions during the facility tours of the building.

Founded in 1863, The Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry is the second oldest dental school in continuous existence in the United States. The primary goal of the school is to educate a biologically oriented, technically competent and socially sensitive practitioner of dental medicine who adheres to the highest standards of professional conduct and ethics and who can function effectively as a member of the health care delivery system.

Although various research opportunities do indeed exist, Temple's strength has always been excellence and mastery in the practice of dentistry. The comprehensive treatment curriculum cultivates mastery in manual dexterity, craftsmanship, and diagnostic, preventive, and treatment skills, and encourages the development of basic business acumen and a well-rounded "chairside manner." Temple graduates are known for their confidence and ability to successfully treat any patient with nearly any condition. Traditionally, the school's failure rate in the licensee examinations (i.e., the clinical boards) is markedly lower than many other schools (indicating an especially strong emphasis on clinical expertise), and graduates are able to practice in their state (or country) of choice. Armed with extensive and impressive resumes, nearly forty percent of our students continue their education in post-graduate programs.

Please feel free to contact the School or refer to the Candidate Information Sheet which will be supplied to you from NERB once they have assigned you to Temple as your test site.
