For dental license reciprocity or licensure by endorsement in Arizona, Dentovio's sourced state record highlights this out-of-state license signal: state ≥1 yr may instead use Universal Licensing Recognition / licensure by credential under A. Related pathway and exam context: Written: national board examinations (iNBDE, which replaced NBDE Parts I & II). Clinical: a state/regional clinical exam accepted by the board — ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, DLOSCE, or CRDTS+SRTA — passed within 5 years preceding application. Confirm the current endorsement, credentials, portability, application, exam, score-age, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners.

Source notes
Definition of 'recognized dental school' = CODA-accredited (A.R.S. § 32-1201) is the controlling point; it forecloses a residency-only pathway for a raw foreign degree. Arizona notably accepts the DLOSCE as a clinical option. WREB retired Dec 31, 2022 (subsumed into CDCA-WREB-CITA). Verify current accepted exams with the board.
