# Mississippi dental licensure exams

Answer: For dentist licensure exams in Mississippi, Dentovio's sourced state record lists: NBDE Parts I & II (or successor — i.e., iNBDE) of the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (waived only for pre-1960 graduates). A clinical/regional exam is also part of licensure by examination — Mississippi accepts ADEX-based regional exams (e.g., CITA/SRTA/CDCA); confirm the currently accepted clinical exam with the Board. (WREB retired Dec 31 2022.) Confirm current iNBDE/NBDE, ADEX or other clinical exam, jurisprudence, law-and-rules, endorsement, and pathway-specific requirements with Mississippi State Board of Dental Examiners.
