State dental exams
For dentist licensure exams in Montana, Dentovio's sourced state record lists: National board exam (iNBDE) plus a board-accepted regional clinical/practical examination per MCA 37-4-301 (WREB retired Dec 31 2022; ADEX/CDCA-type regional exams now used). Also a Montana jurisprudence component. Confirm current iNBDE/NBDE, ADEX or other clinical exam, jurisprudence, law-and-rules, endorsement, and pathway-specific requirements with Montana Board of Dentistry (Dept. of Labor & Industry, Business Standards Division).
National board exam (iNBDE) plus a board-accepted regional clinical/practical examination per MCA 37-4-301 (WREB retired Dec 31 2022; ADEX/CDCA-type regional exams now used). Also a Montana jurisprudence component.
Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. MCA 37-4-301 requires 'a certificate of graduation from a board-approved dental school,' and MCA 37-4-302 provides that in determining recognized dental colleges the board is guided by the standards of the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). A foreign/non-accredited graduate must therefore obtain a CODA-recognized DDS/DMD (advanced standing). No statute or rule found allowing full licensure via a CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) alone.
Statute uses 'board-approved dental school'; approval is CODA-guided per 37-4-302, so effectively CODA is required. Confirm the specific accepted clinical exam(s) and any jurisprudence exam with the board's current application checklist.
