Reciprocity and endorsement
Automatic reciprocity is rare in dentistry; Maryland'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.
iNBDE (Integrated National Board Dental Examination; formerly NBDE Parts I & II) + ADEX clinical exam administered by CDCA-WREB-CITA. Maryland accepts the all-manikin OR live-patient version of the ADEX exam. (WREB was retired Dec 31 2022.)
General licensure effectively requires a CODA advanced-standing DDS/DMD for foreign-trained dentists. A separate LIMITED license exists (§4-303 / §4-302(m)) requiring 2 years of formal general clinical training in a U.S./Canadian institution, but a limited license is restricted, not full general licensure. Verify current forms and any faculty/limited-license options directly with the Board (410-402-8500).
