# Oregon dental licensure exams

Answer: For dentist licensure exams in Oregon, Dentovio's sourced state record lists: Passage of a Board-accepted dental clinical examination (ADEX/CDCA/WREB-legacy/CRDTS/SRTA/CITA) and English-language proficiency; national board (NBDE/iNBDE) per Board rule. Under the 'without further examination' route, 40 hours of CE within the prior two years is also required. (WREB retired Dec 31, 2022.) Verify the exact exam set for a first-time (not-yet-licensed) foreign applicant with the Board. Confirm current iNBDE/NBDE, ADEX or other clinical exam, jurisprudence, law-and-rules, endorsement, and pathway-specific requirements with Oregon Board of Dentistry.
