Reciprocity or endorsement signal

Endorsement (IC 25-14-1-16) also presumes a substantially-equivalent (CODA) education.

Exam and pathway context

Written: national board dental examination (iNBDE / formerly NBDE), all sections. Clinical: one board-approved regional exam per 828 IAC 1-1-7 — CRDTS, NERB, SRTA, or WREB (WREB retired Dec 31 2022). Plus the Indiana dental law (jurisprudence) exam, score 75+. Exams must be passed within the 5 years before application.

Source notes

DISCREPANCY FLAG: Numerous third-party guides list Indiana among states allowing foreign-trained dentists to license after a 2-year GPR/AEGD, but the authoritative rule (828 IAC 1-1-1) plainly requires graduation from a CODA-accredited dental school with no stated residency substitute. Indiana grants licenses case-by-case; verify the current interpretation in writing with the Indiana State Board of Dentistry before relying on a residency-only route. Endorsement (IC 25-14-1-16) also presumes a substantially-equivalent (CODA) education.
