Assistant CE

No general dental-assistant CE license. Maryland instead certifies Dental Radiation Technologists, who need a 2-hour infection control course each renewal (plus one-time implicit bias). No CE-bearing 'dental assistant' category with a broad hour requirement.

Foreign-trained dentist pathway

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only for full (general) licensure. Md. Code, Health Occ. §4-302(d) requires the applicant to HOLD a DDS/DMD (or equivalent) from a college authorized by a U.S. state or a Canadian province and recognized by the Board — a foreign (non-CODA) degree does not qualify, so a foreign-trained dentist must complete a U.S. CODA-accredited advanced-standing DDS/DMD (2-3 years) to earn general licensure. The §4-303 education waiver applies ONLY to a LIMITED license (not general): it requires completion of at least 2 years of formal general clinical training in a U.S./Canadian degree-granting institution. There is no CODA GPR/AEGD residency shortcut to general licensure for foreign grads.
