Michigan dental license reciprocity

For dental license reciprocity or licensure by endorsement in Michigan, Dentovio's sourced state record highlights this out-of-state license signal: 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. Related pathway and exam context: NBDE (or iNBDE, which replaced the NBDE) conducted/scored by the JCNDE + ADEX clinical (written and clinical) administered by CDCA-WREB-CITA or another Board-approved regional agency; converted score of 75+ required on each component.

Reciprocity or endorsement signal

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.

Exam and pathway context

NBDE (or iNBDE, which replaced the NBDE) conducted/scored by the JCNDE + ADEX clinical (written and clinical) administered by CDCA-WREB-CITA or another Board-approved regional agency; converted score of 75+ required on each component. Plus current BLS/ACLS certification. (WREB retired Dec 31 2022.)

Source notes

Michigan accepts 2 years / 2,850 clock hours of CODA clinical training OR a 2-year CODA specialty master's/certificate — this is the recognized foreign-grad route and is less than repeating a full DDS. Whether a standalone 1-year CODA GPR/AEGD alone (without meeting the 2-year/2,850-hour advanced-standing threshold) satisfies the education requirement is not clearly established; the 2-year specialty/advanced-standing option is the documented pathway, so residency-only is marked unclear. Could not fetch the ADA Michigan Laws & Rules PDF or the LARA foreign-grad PDF directly (403/redirect); details corroborated across the Michigan.gov LARA skilled-immigrant pathway document and ADA/LARA summaries. Verify exact current rule text with LARA.
