Exam and pathway context
Passing score on an exam administered by the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (NBDE/iNBDE) or the National Dental Examining Board of Canada, plus a Board-approved clinical competency examination within five years of application. ND accepts ADEX (CDCA-WREB, incl. manikin-based) and CITA. Clinical exam components include periodontal, restorative (posterior composite/amalgam), Class III restorative, endodontic, and (after Apr 1, 2021) a fixed prosthetic component. Plus ND jurisprudence exam. WREB retired Dec 31, 2022.
Source notes
ND's international-dentist page is explicit that a certificate/residency that does not yield a DDS/DMD (or Board-assessed equivalent) will not qualify; the Board may also require an independent equivalency assessment and additional education. Foreign grads therefore need a CODA advanced-standing DDS/DMD.
