State licensure requirements
Alaska dental license requirements
For dentist license requirements in Alaska, Dentovio's sourced licensure record highlights education/pathway language, exam signals, and any residency, endorsement, reciprocity, or credentialing notes it could isolate. Education/pathway signal: CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) pathway accepted in lieu of a regional clinical exam. Under 12 AAC 28.940(a)(8)(D), an applicant may qualify by showing satisfactory completion of a clinically-based postdoctoral GPR or AEGD program of at least one year's duration. Exam signal: Written: NBDE Part I & Part II, or the iNBDE (JCNDE). Clinical requirement satisfiable by (a) a regional clinical exam — ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, or CRDTS+SRTA — passed within 5 years; OR (b) Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with Alaska Board of Dental Examiners (Dept. of Commerce, Community & Economic Development).

Education and pathway
CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) pathway accepted in lieu of a regional clinical exam. Under 12 AAC 28.940(a)(8)(D), an applicant may qualify by showing satisfactory completion of a clinically-based postdoctoral GPR or AEGD program of at least one year's duration in a CODA-accredited hospital/dental facility, with a formal evaluation of competence — as an alternative to a regional clinical examination or a 2-year CODA specialty program. However, the applicant must still hold a dental degree from a school meeting 12 AAC 28.938 and pass NBDE I & II or the iNBDE; whether a non-CODA foreign degree independently satisfies 12 AAC 28.938 should be verified with the board.
Exam signal
Written: NBDE Part I & Part II, or the iNBDE (JCNDE). Clinical requirement satisfiable by (a) a regional clinical exam — ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, or CRDTS+SRTA — passed within 5 years; OR (b) completion of a CODA-accredited PGY-1 GPR/AEGD (≥1 yr) [12 AAC 28.940(a)(8)(D)]; OR (c) a 2-year+ CODA postgraduate specialty program. Plus Alaska jurisprudence exam (min. 70%) and 2 hrs pain-management/opioid education.
Endorsement or reciprocity
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.
Residency signal
Residency or advanced education is flagged as a possible pathway signal in the sourced state record; verify degree, program, exam, and applicant-status conditions with the board.
