Verify current out-of-state license options directly with the dental board. Related pathway and exam context: National board exam (iNBDE) plus a board-accepted regional clinical/practical examination per MCA 37-4-301 (WREB retired Dec 31 2022; ADEX/CDCA-type regional exams now used). Also a Montana jurisprudence component. Confirm the current endorsement, credentials, portability, application, exam, score-age, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with Montana Board of Dentistry (Dept. of Labor & Industry, Business Standards Division). ## Reciprocity, endorsement, or credentials 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 context Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. MCA 37-4-301 requires 'a certificate of graduation from a board-approved dental school,' and MCA 37-4-302 provides that in determining recognized dental colleges the board is guided by the standards of the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). A foreign/non-accredited graduate must therefore obtain a CODA-recognized DDS/DMD (advanced standing). No statute or rule found allowing full licensure via a CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) alone. ## Related exam context National board exam (iNBDE) plus a board-accepted regional clinical/practical examination per MCA 37-4-301 (WREB retired Dec 31 2022; ADEX/CDCA-type regional exams now used). Also a Montana jurisprudence component. ## Notes Statute uses 'board-approved dental school'; approval is CODA-guided per 37-4-302, so effectively CODA is required. Confirm the specific accepted clinical exam(s) and any jurisprudence exam with the board's current application checklist. ## 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) - [Montana dental license requirements](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-requirements/montana/index.html.md) - [Montana dental licensure exams](https://dentovio.com/dental-licensure-exams/montana/index.html.md) - [Montana dental board](https://dentovio.com/dental-boards/montana/index.html.md) - [Montana dental license lookup](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-lookup/montana/index.html.md) - [Montana dental license renewal](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-renewal/montana/index.html.md)
