Iowa Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) Practice Exam

The rule being tested is where Iowa puts the Dental Practice Act in statutory law. The Dental Practice Act for dentists and dental auxiliaries is contained in the Iowa Code’s Chapter 153. This chapter covers licensure requirements, the scope of practice for dentistry and related personnel, and the Board’s authority and disciplinary processes, making it the main source for how dental professionals operate in Iowa.

The other options aren’t the correct codification because they refer to different topics or to administrative rules rather than the statutory code itself: one is a different chapter of the Iowa Code that doesn’t address dentistry, and the administrative code is a separate set of rules, not the statutory chapter that defines the practice act.
