Do we still need to send official DAT score to dental schools via ADA?

If you see 2011 Dental school supplemental information in the AADSAS site, it is saying that Official DAT scores should be sent directly to dental schools at the same time you send AADSAS materials.

However, if you see the announcements from AADSAS, it is clearly saying that DAT scores imported directly into ADEA AADSAS Application so applicants no longer self-report DAT scores in the application.

So what should I do? This is freaking confusing me.
 
this is a new change that was made for 2011 cycle.
you do not need to designate the DAT score to be sent to every school.
I do think however, there might be some schools asking the DAT score to be sent to them directly as their secondary app.
