The North East Regional Board (NERB) was founded in 1969 to facilitate the licensure process for candidates and eliminate the need for repetition of state board clinical examinations.  The NERB is a nonprofit, independent corporation, comprised of a consortium of sixteen state dental boards.  The NERB develops, administers, scores, and reports the results of its examinations in Dentistry and Dental Hygiene. Each state board whose members participate in the NERB accepts the results of these clinical examinations in lieu of its own individually administered clinical examination.
