# caapid

Answer: ADEA CAAPID is the centralized application internationally trained dentists use to apply to US advanced-standing DDS/DMD programs. For the 2026–27 cycle it costs $264 for the first program and $115 for each additional program, opened March 5, 2026, and accepts submissions until January 29, 2027 at 11:59 PM ET, although each program sets its own, usually earlier, deadline. The ADEA Program Finder lists 47 participating programs. You need a DENTPIN, an ECE or WES course-by-course evaluation sent directly to CAAPID (ECE charges $199), your diploma with an official US translation, up to three letters of evaluation, a personal statement of at most 5,200 characters, INBDE scores sent by the ADA, and TOEFL scores sent to code B451. 36 of the 47 programs hold a bench test and 11 accept only US citizens or green-card holders.
