Dentovio uses this board or renewal source for the Alabama CE summary.

No state CE requirement for dental assistants (CPR required only for assistants aiding in oral conscious sedation; DANB-certified assistants follow separate DANB annual CE renewal).
Assistant CE pageAdvanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Code of Ala. § 34-9-10(a) requires every licensure applicant to be a graduate of a dental school accredited by the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). A foreign/non-CODA graduate cannot be licensed on the foreign degree; they must earn a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD (typically via a 2+ year advanced-standing/international program). Completing only a residency does NOT cure a non-CODA initial degree for initial licensure. (A separate 1-year CODA residency is referenced in the licensure-by-credentials context, but credentialing requires an existing valid U.S. state license.)
