State licensure requirements
Kansas dental license requirements
For dentist license requirements in Kansas, 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: Advanced-standing / supplemental CODA education (board practice), NOT a clean residency pathway in statute. Statute K.S.A. 65-1426 requires graduation from a board-approved dental school (schools held to CODA-equivalent standards); Exam signal: iNBDE (or NBDE Parts I & II) + a board-accepted clinical/OSCE licensure exam. Effective 1/1/2023 Kansas requires a patient- or manikin-based clinical exam including an OSCE plus endodontic, periodontic, prosthodontic and restorative. Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with Kansas Dental Board.

Education and pathway
Advanced-standing / supplemental CODA education (board practice), NOT a clean residency pathway in statute. Statute K.S.A. 65-1426 requires graduation from a board-approved dental school (schools held to CODA-equivalent standards); a graduate of a NON-approved (foreign) school may qualify by successfully completing 'a course of remedial or refresher instruction' at a board-approved dental school/college — the statute sets no fixed duration. Kansas Dental Board application guidance and secondary sources indicate this is applied in practice as completing at least two years in a CODA-accredited U.S. dental program; whether a CODA postgraduate residency (GPR/AEGD) alone satisfies it (vs. an advanced-standing DDS/DMD supplemental program) is NOT clearly stated and must be confirmed with the Board.
Exam signal
iNBDE (or NBDE Parts I & II) + a board-accepted clinical/OSCE licensure exam. Effective 1/1/2023 Kansas requires a patient- or manikin-based clinical exam including an OSCE plus endodontic, periodontic, prosthodontic and restorative sections (accepted vendors include ADEX/CDCA, CRDTS, SRTA; WREB retired 12/31/2022). Kansas jurisprudence exam also required.
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
Dentovio marked the residency pathway as unclear from the available source record; verify directly with the board before relying on a residency route.
