Indiana dental board
Indiana State Board of Dentistry (Indiana PLA) is the official dental board source Dentovio links for Indiana. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to Indiana CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 20 hours / 2 years (biennium; licenses expire March 1 of even-numbered years); hygienists: 19 hours / 2 years (biennium; expires March 1 of even-numbered years).

No state CE requirement (Indiana dental assistants are not separately licensed; radiology-permitted assistants and EFDA/CDA credentials carry their own certification-maintenance rules, but the state board sets no assistant CE hours)
Assistant CE pageForeign-trained dentist pathway
Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD (per rule text). 828 IAC 1-1-1 Sec. 1 requires ALL applicants for licensure to have 'graduated from a dental school accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Dental Association,' and IC 25-14-1-3 requires proof of graduation from a board-recognized (CODA) dental college. On the face of the rule, a foreign (non-CODA) graduate must complete a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD advanced-standing program; the rule does not on its face provide a GPR/AEGD-in-lieu-of-degree pathway. Applicant should confirm directly with the board, as Indiana is often listed by third parties as accepting a 2-year residency.
