(b) Failure to register or to sit for the examination (unless the Board grants a waiver under subsection (c)) shall be deemed a failure of the examination. Upon notice from the Board of the failure of the examination, the temporary permit holder shall immediately cease to practice as an expanded function dental assistant and shall return the temporary permit to the Board.

(c) The Board will grant a waiver to a temporary permit holder who has not been present at the examination, who provides the Board with documentation acceptable to the Board that illness or bereavement prevented the applicant from taking the examination as scheduled. A request for a waiver shall be filed with the Board within 10 days of the examination date. If a waiver is not granted, the temporary permit holder shall, upon notice, immediately cease practicing as an expanded function dental assistant and return the permit to the Board.
