Wisconsin dental license requirements
For dentist license requirements in Wisconsin, 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 program required, NOT a standalone GPR/AEGD: under Wis. Admin. Code DE 2.01(1m)(d) a foreign dental school graduate must show EITHER (1) a DDS or DMD degree from an accredited (CODA) dental school, OR (2) Exam signal: National dental examination via the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (iNBDE/NBDE) plus an approved dental testing service clinical exam: ADEX (CDCA-WREB-CITA), CRDTS, or SRTA; Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with Wisconsin Dentistry Examining Board (Dept. of Safety and Professional Services).

Education and pathway
Advanced-standing program required, NOT a standalone GPR/AEGD: under Wis. Admin. Code DE 2.01(1m)(d) a foreign dental school graduate must show EITHER (1) a DDS or DMD degree from an accredited (CODA) dental school, OR (2) a dental diploma/degree/certificate from a full-time, undergraduate SUPPLEMENTAL dental education program of AT LEAST TWO academic years at an accredited dental school providing didactic and clinical education to the level of a DDS/DMD graduate. The rule does NOT list a 1-year GPR/AEGD residency as a standalone licensure pathway (some secondary sources claiming an AEGD/GPR endorsement route appear inaccurate; the same 2-year-supplemental standard governs endorsement under DE 2.04).
Exam signal
National dental examination via the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (iNBDE/NBDE) plus an approved dental testing service clinical exam: ADEX (CDCA-WREB-CITA), CRDTS, or SRTA; plus the Wisconsin statutes-and-rules (jurisprudence) exam and current CPR/AED. Note: Marquette University School of Dentistry graduates are exam-exempt through July 12, 2028.
Endorsement or reciprocity
The rule does NOT list a 1-year GPR/AEGD residency as a standalone licensure pathway (some secondary sources claiming an AEGD/GPR endorsement route appear inaccurate; the same 2-year-supplemental standard governs endorsement under DE 2.
Residency signal
No residency-only substitute for the required dental degree was isolated in this sourced state record.
