Exam and pathway context
iNBDE / all components of the National Board Dental Examinations + a board-approved clinical exam: ADEX (via CDCA-WREB-CITA), CRDTS, or SRTA — all clinical components (incl. posterior and anterior operative) except the periodontal component, taken within 5 years. Alternatively PGY-1 clinical waiver via a completed U.S. CODA AEGD/GPR (available to CODA-school grads). Plus MN jurisprudence exam and CPR. (WREB retired Dec 31 2022.)
Source notes
Minnesota is a genuine foreign-equivalency / residency-friendly state: a foreign-trained dentist judged 'equivalent or higher' by the Board can be examined and licensed WITHOUT repeating dental school. Credentials must be evaluated (e.g., Foreign Credentials Service of America). The GPR/AEGD clinical-exam waiver route is written for CODA-school graduates; a foreign grad more typically uses the equivalency-plus-clinical-exam route or a CODA advanced-standing/specialty program. Confirm the equivalency determination process with the Board.
