Verify current out-of-state license options directly with the dental board. ## Related pathway context Advanced-standing / supplemental CODA education (board practice), NOT a clean residency pathway in statute. Statute K.S.A. 65-1426 requires graduation from a board-approved dental school (schools held to CODA-equivalent standards); a graduate of a NON-approved (foreign) school may qualify by successfully completing 'a course of remedial or refresher instruction' at a board-approved dental school/college — the statute sets no fixed duration. Kansas Dental Board application guidance and secondary sources indicate this is applied in practice as completing at least two years in a CODA-accredited U.S. dental program; whether a CODA postgraduate residency (GPR/AEGD) alone satisfies it (vs. an advanced-standing DDS/DMD supplemental program) is NOT clearly stated and must be confirmed with the Board. ## Related exam context iNBDE (or NBDE Parts I & II) + a board-accepted clinical/OSCE licensure exam. Effective 1/1/2023 Kansas requires a patient- or manikin-based clinical exam including an OSCE plus endodontic, periodontic, prosthodontic and restorative sections (accepted vendors include ADEX/CDCA, CRDTS, SRTA; WREB retired 12/31/2022). Kansas jurisprudence exam also required. ## Notes Statute (K.S.A. 65-1426) only mandates a 'remedial or refresher' course at a board-approved school for non-approved-school graduates — it does NOT specify two years and does not name a residency. The '2 years in a CODA-accredited program' figure comes from Board application guidance / secondary sources, not the statute text. Confirm with the Kansas Dental Board (785-296-6400 / dental@ks.gov) whether a CODA GPR/AEGD residency satisfies the education requirement or whether an advanced-standing supplemental DDS/DMD program is required. ## 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) - [Kansas dental license requirements](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-requirements/kansas/index.html.md) - [Kansas dental licensure exams](https://dentovio.com/dental-licensure-exams/kansas/index.html.md) - [Kansas dental board](https://dentovio.com/dental-boards/kansas/index.html.md) - [Kansas dental license lookup](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-lookup/kansas/index.html.md) - [Kansas dental license renewal](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-renewal/kansas/index.html.md)
