FIN 48 Footnote	Part X, Line 2	The Company is a tax-exempt organization organized under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and, as such, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. Current accounting guidance clarifies accounting for uncertainties in tax positions recognized in an entity's financial statements. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These tax positions include those where the Company is exempt from income taxes or not subject to income taxes or unrelated business income. The Company evaluated the impact of implementing the new accounting pronouncement and determined that it had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

Identifier	Return Reference	Explanation
Grant Approval	PART I, Line 2	The organization awards grants for programs that foster dental health and education. Through these grants we help finance health, educational and research projects in dentistry, health and human services and civic and community affairs. The two grants are: (1)the Dental Health and Education Contribution, which supports dental health and awareness programs; and (2) the Standard Dental Research Grant, which supports professional research related to dental health. Grants are awarded to groups who: (1) provide dentistry for indigents; (2) provide dentistry for groups that are dentally underserved; (3) provide education to advance the awareness or the science of dentistry; (4) promote public dental health; and (5) are involved with community activities related to dental care. Grant Guidelines: Priority will go to projects that focus on issues related to the delivery of oral health care, including those with significant potential for improving oral health and reducing treatment costs. Priority consideration will go to researchers from the dental schools in the enterprise, but will not be limited to these institutions. Priority will go to two types of studies: (1) Pilot or feasibility studies likely to enhance the investigator's chance for long-term funding from other sources; and (2) complete projects considered to be of interest to the health, education and research fund, for which other sources of funds are traditionally not available or sufficient. Priority will go to studies that evaluate the outcome of preventative and treatment procedures. Retrospective studies or those involving analysis of existing data should be considered, rather than long-term follow-up studies, in order to reduce the years required to obtain data. Overhead charges within each eligible grant will be limited to eight percent. The fund will normally make one to two standard research grants per year. Individual grants will generally not exceed $40,000. Grants will be limited to one-year projects, subject to renewal. Except in special cases, an organization/entity will not be eligible for more than one grant during any year. A screening committee reviews all applications, with final grant decisions made by the fund's administrative committee.

Expense Reimbursement	PART I, LINE 1a	First-Class travel--First class business travel is reimbursed to the Executive Vice Presidents. First class business travel for Senior Vice Presidents and Group Vice Presidents is reimbursed only when approval is received from their Executive Vice President. First class business travel is not treated as taxable compensation. Health or social club dues--The President and Executive Vice Presidents may be reimbursed for one health or social club upon approval by the President. Two senior executives received this benefit in 2010. The cost of this benefit is included in taxable compensation. Personal Services--Financial and tax planning expenses are reimbursed to employees who are at the Director or above level of management. There is a company policy outlining the maximum reimbursement allowed for each management level. These reimbursements are included in taxable compensation of the reimbursed employees.
Non-Fixed Compensation Payments	PART I, LINE 7	The President of the organization, with Board of Directors approval, may grant an annual bonus to all management employees. Any bonus amounts granted are included in the taxable compensation reported herein.
Supplemental Non-Qualified Retirement Plan	PART I, LINE 4b	The organization provides a supplemental non-qualified retirement plan to certain of its senior executives as selected by the Board of Directors. The supplemental retirement benefit is based on each executive's compensation and years of service to the enterprise. The benefit is subject to risk of forfeiture if required years of service are not met. Annual deferred compensation related to this plan is reported in Schedule J, Part II, Column C for each participant and reflects the current year increase or decrease in the organization's pension benefit obligation (PBO), calculated pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles. The PBO increase or decrease includes changes in actuarial assumptions (e.g., applicable discount rate), as well as changes in compensation and years of service. In 2010, eight executives participated in the plan - Anthony Barth, Michael Castro, Kathy Jonzzon, Douglas Konovaloff, Charles Lamont, Belinda Martinez, Gary Radine, and Patrick Steele.
