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 Vermont Board of Dental Examiners (Office of Professional Regulation, Secretary of State).

## Related pathway context

CODA residency pathway accepted: 26 V.S.A. 601(2)(B) allows licensure by exam for a graduate of 'a program of foreign dental training AND a postgraduate program accredited by CODA that is acceptable to the Board.' No requirement to repeat dental school / earn a full CODA advanced-standing DDS. (Full CODA DDS/DMD is the other route.)

## Related exam context

Written: NBDE Parts I & II, or iNBDE, or the written exam of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada. Clinical: ADEX administered by CDCA or CITA (not incl. optional perio), or CRDTS, or SRTA; WREB accepted only if examined prior to July 1, 2020. Plus VT jurisprudence.

## Notes

Statute confirmed in ADA VT Laws & Rules (26 V.S.A. Ch.12 Subch.3, 601). Board Administrative Rules updated Oct 15, 2025. OPR handles day-to-day licensing; the Board sets standards. The exact acceptable postgraduate program is at Board discretion ('acceptable to the Board').
