# Hawaii dental license reciprocity

Answer: For dental license reciprocity or licensure by endorsement in Hawaii, Dentovio's sourced state record highlights this out-of-state license signal: CDAC (Canada) reciprocity does NOT qualify for DT licensure (may qualify for CSDT/DTT temporary/community-service types only). Hawaii does not license by reciprocity or specialty. Related pathway and exam context: Written: iNBDE (or NBDE Part I & II). Clinical: must pass ALL 5 parts of the ADEX exam (including the optional 5th periodontal section); no other regional exam (CRDTS, SRTA, WREB, NERB) is accepted for DT licensure per HRS 448-9.4. Confirm the current endorsement, credentials, portability, application, exam, score-age, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with Hawaii Board of Dentistry (DCCA-PVL).
