Reciprocity and endorsement
Automatic reciprocity is rare in dentistry; Connecticut's board decides how a dentist licensed elsewhere qualifies. The board source is below.
Last verified 2026-07-08. Educational planning reference only; the board controls current reciprocity, endorsement, credentialing, portability, exam exceptions, forms, fees, and final approvals.
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.
National Board Dental Examination (now iNBDE, which replaced NBDE Parts I/II) plus successful completion of ALL components of a DPH/Dental Commission-approved regional clinical board exam (ADEX/CDCA, CITA, SRTA, CRDTS; WREB retired Dec 31, 2022) — an aggregate/overall passing score is not acceptable; every section must be passed.
Connecticut is one of the few states with an explicit residency-based pathway for foreign graduates, but it is stringent: total ~5 years of CODA postgraduate training (2 + 3), with the additional 3 years specifically at a CT dental school (or 3 years CT full-time faculty). Verify current clinical-exam list and residency-verification forms with DPH.
