# Minnesota dental licensure exams

Answer: For dentist licensure exams in Minnesota, Dentovio's sourced state record lists: iNBDE / all components of the National Board Dental Examinations + a board-approved clinical exam: ADEX (via CDCA-WREB-CITA), CRDTS, or SRTA — all clinical components (incl. posterior and anterior operative) except the periodontal component, taken within 5 years. Alternatively PGY-1 clinical waiver via a completed U.S. CODA AEGD/GPR (available to CODA-school grads). Plus MN jurisprudence exam and CPR. (WREB retired Dec 31 2022.) Confirm current iNBDE/NBDE, ADEX or other clinical exam, jurisprudence, law-and-rules, endorsement, and pathway-specific requirements with Minnesota Board of Dentistry.
