# Maryland dental license requirements

Answer: For dentist license requirements in Maryland, Dentovio's sourced licensure record highlights education/pathway language, exam signals, and any residency, endorsement, reciprocity, or credentialing notes it could isolate. Education/pathway signal: Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only for full (general) licensure. Md. Code, Health Occ. §4-302(d) requires the applicant to HOLD a DDS/DMD (or equivalent) from a college authorized by a U.S. Exam signal: iNBDE (Integrated National Board Dental Examination; formerly NBDE Parts I & II) + ADEX clinical exam administered by CDCA-WREB-CITA. Maryland accepts the all-manikin OR live-patient version of the ADEX exam. (WREB was retired Dec 31 2022.) Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with Maryland State Board of Dental Examiners (Maryland Dept. of Health).
