No state CE requirement for dental assistants (ARM 24.138.2110 addresses dentists, hygienists, and denturists only).
Assistant CE pageForeign-trained dentist pathway
Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. MCA 37-4-301 requires 'a certificate of graduation from a board-approved dental school,' and MCA 37-4-302 provides that in determining recognized dental colleges the board is guided by the standards of the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). A foreign/non-accredited graduate must therefore obtain a CODA-recognized DDS/DMD (advanced standing). No statute or rule found allowing full licensure via a CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) alone.
