# Alaska dental license reciprocity and endorsement > Source-backed out-of-state dentist licensure, endorsement, reciprocity, credentials, portability, and official-board signals for Alaska. URL: https://dentovio.com/dental-license-reciprocity/alaska Last verified: 2026-07-08 Dentovio is not a dental board. Confirm current endorsement eligibility, reciprocity language, credentialing rules, portability rules, forms, fees, exam or score-age exceptions, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with Alaska Board of Dental Examiners (Dept. of Commerce, Community & Economic Development). ## Direct answer For dental license reciprocity or licensure by endorsement in Alaska, Dentovio's sourced state record highlights this out-of-state license signal: Dentovio did not isolate a licensure-by-endorsement, reciprocity, credentialing, or portability signal in this sourced state record. Verify current out-of-state license options directly with the dental board. Related pathway and exam context: Written: NBDE Part I & Part II, or the iNBDE (JCNDE). Clinical requirement satisfiable by (a) a regional clinical exam — ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, or CRDTS+SRTA — passed within 5 years; OR (b) completion of a CODA-accredited PGY-1 GPR/AEGD (≥1 yr) [12 AAC 28. Confirm the current endorsement, credentials, portability, application, exam, score-age, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with Alaska Board of Dental Examiners (Dept. of Commerce, Community & Economic Development). ## Reciprocity, endorsement, or credentials signal Dentovio did not isolate a licensure-by-endorsement, reciprocity, credentialing, or portability signal in this sourced state record. Verify current out-of-state license options directly with the dental board. ## Related pathway context CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) pathway accepted in lieu of a regional clinical exam. Under 12 AAC 28.940(a)(8)(D), an applicant may qualify by showing satisfactory completion of a clinically-based postdoctoral GPR or AEGD program of at least one year's duration in a CODA-accredited hospital/dental facility, with a formal evaluation of competence — as an alternative to a regional clinical examination or a 2-year CODA specialty program. However, the applicant must still hold a dental degree from a school meeting 12 AAC 28.938 and pass NBDE I & II or the iNBDE; whether a non-CODA foreign degree independently satisfies 12 AAC 28.938 should be verified with the board. ## Related exam context Written: NBDE Part I & Part II, or the iNBDE (JCNDE). Clinical requirement satisfiable by (a) a regional clinical exam — ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, or CRDTS+SRTA — passed within 5 years; OR (b) completion of a CODA-accredited PGY-1 GPR/AEGD (≥1 yr) [12 AAC 28.940(a)(8)(D)]; OR (c) a 2-year+ CODA postgraduate specialty program. Plus Alaska jurisprudence exam (min. 70%) and 2 hrs pain-management/opioid education. ## Notes Alaska is the standout among these five: 12 AAC 28.940 explicitly names a CODA GPR/AEGD residency as an accepted route to satisfy the clinical-competence requirement. The open question is the underlying degree — 12 AAC 28.938 defines the acceptable dental school; confirm directly whether a foreign non-CODA degree + CODA residency is accepted, or whether the residency route presumes an approved (CODA) degree. WREB was retired Dec 31, 2022. Confidence set to medium pending that degree-eligibility confirmation. ## Official sources - - - ## Related - [All dental license reciprocity and endorsement states](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-reciprocity/index.html.md) - [Dental license transfer by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-transfer-by-state/index.html.md) - [Dental license by endorsement by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-by-endorsement-by-state/index.html.md) - [Dental license by credentials by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-by-credentials-by-state/index.html.md) - [Dentist and dental hygienist compact states](https://dentovio.com/dentist-and-dental-hygienist-compact-states/index.html.md) - [Dental license by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-by-state/index.html.md) - [Alaska dental license requirements](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-requirements/alaska/index.html.md) - [Alaska dental licensure exams](https://dentovio.com/dental-licensure-exams/alaska/index.html.md) - [Alaska dental board](https://dentovio.com/dental-boards/alaska/index.html.md) - [Alaska dental license lookup](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-lookup/alaska/index.html.md) - [Alaska dental license renewal](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-renewal/alaska/index.html.md)
