Dentovio is not a dental board. Confirm current endorsement eligibility, reciprocity language, credentialing rules, portability rules, forms, fees, exam or score-age exceptions, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with New Jersey State Board of Dentistry (Division of Consumer Affairs).

## Direct answer

For dental license reciprocity or licensure by endorsement in New Jersey, 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: National Board Dental Examination Parts I and II (now iNBDE for those who did not complete NBDE) plus a Board-accepted clinical exam. NJ historically accepted NERB/ADEX (CDCA) clinical exams. WREB was retired Dec 31, 2022. Confirm the current endorsement, credentials, portability, application, exam, score-age, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with New Jersey State Board of Dentistry (Division of Consumer Affairs).

## 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. Graduates of dental programs outside the U.S./Canada (non-CODA) must complete two years of additional training in a CODA-approved program and receive a D.D.S. or D.M.D. degree. There is no CODA-residency-alone (GPR/AEGD) pathway to full general licensure — a residency does not replace the advanced-standing dental degree.

## Related exam context

National Board Dental Examination Parts I and II (now iNBDE for those who did not complete NBDE) plus a Board-accepted clinical exam. NJ historically accepted NERB/ADEX (CDCA) clinical exams. WREB was retired Dec 31, 2022. Verify current accepted clinical exam and iNBDE transition status directly with the Board.

## Notes

The Board FAQ and N.J.A.C. 13:30-1.2 require a CODA-accredited dental degree; foreign grads must earn a CODA DDS/DMD via a 2-year advanced-standing program. Exact current exam list (iNBDE vs NBDE, specific clinical exam vendors) should be confirmed with the Board; confidence lowered on exam specifics.
