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

No state CE hour requirement for dental assistants (certificates such as EFDA/x-ray require initial competency courses, not periodic CE). N/A for periodic renewal CE.
Assistant CE pageCODA residency (GPR) pathway accepted (as an alternative to a CODA predoctoral program), but under Oregon's 'license without further examination' rule. A graduate of a dental school outside the U.S./Canada qualifies by completing EITHER (a) a predoctoral dental education program of not less than two years at a CODA-accredited school, OR (b) a postdoctoral General Dentistry Residency of not less than two years at a CODA-accredited school (OAR 818-021-0011). So a 2-year CODA GPR can substitute for repeating dental school — but this route also requires an active unrestricted out-of-state license plus 3,500 clinical practice hours in the preceding 5 years.
