# Maine dental license reciprocity

Answer: For dental license reciprocity or licensure by endorsement in Maine, Dentovio's sourced state record highlights this out-of-state license signal: ' Since 2020 the Board reviews non-CODA foreign credentials case-by-case for educational equivalency; a foreign-trained dentist is licensable if the Board determines their education is equivalent (rather than being required to complete a specific CODA advanced-standing DDS/DMD or a named residency). Related pathway and exam context: National Dental Board Examination (iNBDE / NBDE or its successor) + all sections of a Board-approved regional or state clinical examination (ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, CRDTS, SRTA) + the Maine jurisprudence examination (must score 90%). (WREB retired 12/31/2022.) Confirm the current endorsement, credentials, portability, application, exam, score-age, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with Maine Board of Dental Practice.
