Source notes
17 DCMR 4202.1 language (US/Canadian CODA-recognized DDS/DMD required, degree must be US/US-territory/Canadian issued) was confirmed via secondary indexing of the DC Municipal Regulations; the source PDF (Chapter 42 Dentistry) could not be fully text-extracted, so exam specifics (NBDE vs iNBDE; ADEX vs NERB) should be verified directly on the DC Health application-documents page. Confidence set to medium pending direct read of the regulation PDF. No residency-only pathway found.
