Confirm current endorsement eligibility, reciprocity language, credentialing rules, portability rules, forms, fees, exam or score-age exceptions, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with Oklahoma Board of Dentistry. ## Direct answer For dental license reciprocity or licensure by endorsement in Oklahoma, Dentovio's sourced state record highlights this out-of-state license signal: Reciprocity/credentials route (195:10-5) requires an existing US license plus 5 years of practice and does not create a residency-only pathway for the foreign-degree holder. Related pathway and exam context: National Board Dental Examination Parts I & II (or iNBDE); a Board-approved clinical examination (CDCA/ADEX, WREB legacy, CRDTS, SRTA, CITA — Board may determine equivalencies); and the Oklahoma written jurisprudence examination. Confirm the current endorsement, credentials, portability, application, exam, score-age, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with Oklahoma Board of Dentistry. ## Reciprocity, endorsement, or credentials signal Reciprocity/credentials route (195:10-5) requires an existing US license plus 5 years of practice and does not create a residency-only pathway for the foreign-degree holder. ## Related pathway context Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. The Board recognizes only students/graduates of dental schools in the U.S. or Canada that are approved, conditionally approved, or provisionally approved by CODA, and the applicant must have (or will receive) a D.D.S. or D.M.D. degree from that school (OK Admin. Rules 195:10-1-2(8)). A foreign (non-CODA) graduate must complete a CODA advanced-standing DDS/DMD program; a CODA GPR/AEGD residency alone does NOT qualify for licensure. ## Related exam context National Board Dental Examination Parts I & II (or iNBDE); a Board-approved clinical examination (CDCA/ADEX, WREB legacy, CRDTS, SRTA, CITA — Board may determine equivalencies); and the Oklahoma written jurisprudence examination. Clinical exam results are recognized for 5 years. (WREB retired Dec 31, 2022.) ## Notes Statute 59 O.S. 328.21 requires graduation from an accredited dental college. Rule 195:10-1-2(8) makes the CODA (US/Canada) DDS/DMD mandatory, so a foreign-trained dentist's only route to a general dentist license is a CODA advanced-standing (e.g., ASPID/CAAPID) DDS/DMD program. Reciprocity/credentials route (195:10-5) requires an existing US license plus 5 years of practice and does not create a residency-only pathway for the foreign-degree holder. ## 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) - [Oklahoma dental license requirements](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-requirements/oklahoma/index.html.md) - [Oklahoma dental licensure exams](https://dentovio.com/dental-licensure-exams/oklahoma/index.html.md) - [Oklahoma dental board](https://dentovio.com/dental-boards/oklahoma/index.html.md) - [Oklahoma dental license lookup](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-lookup/oklahoma/index.html.md) - [Oklahoma dental license renewal](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-renewal/oklahoma/index.html.md)
