Educational summary only, not legal, admissions, testing-vendor, or board advice. Exam acceptance, score windows, jurisprudence rules, endorsement routes, and foreign-trained dentist pathways can change. Confirm current instructions with Wyoming Board of Dental Examiners before applying.

## Direct answer

For dentist licensure exams in Wyoming, Dentovio's sourced state record lists: iNBDE required (rules explicitly cite 'successful passage of the INDBE'; iNBDE replaced NBDE Parts I/II). Clinical exam: a regional exam demonstrating competency in endodontics, fixed prosthodontics, periodontics, and restorative dentistry — accepted agencies are ADEX (CDCA-WREB-CITA) and CRDTS+SRTA (WREB clinical was retired Dec 31 2022; scores of ADEX-affiliated exams still accepted). Also required: an exam on the Wyoming Dental Practice Act / board rules (jurisprudence). Confirm current iNBDE/NBDE, ADEX or other clinical exam, jurisprudence, law-and-rules, endorsement, and pathway-specific requirements with Wyoming Board of Dental Examiners.

## Exam signals

iNBDE required (rules explicitly cite 'successful passage of the INDBE'; iNBDE replaced NBDE Parts I/II). Clinical exam: a regional exam demonstrating competency in endodontics, fixed prosthodontics, periodontics, and restorative dentistry — accepted agencies are ADEX (CDCA-WREB-CITA) and CRDTS+SRTA (WREB clinical was retired Dec 31 2022; scores of ADEX-affiliated exams still accepted). Also required: an exam on the Wyoming Dental Practice Act / board rules (jurisprudence).

## Pathway context

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Wyoming Statutes 33-15-108(a) requires the DDS/DMD to be earned from a U.S. or Canadian college/university accredited by CODA, and the licensure-by-examination rule (Admin Rules 034, Ch. 3, Sec. 6(b)(iii)) requires official transcripts 'from a CODA accredited dental program.' A non-CODA (foreign) graduate must therefore first complete a CODA-accredited advanced-standing DDS/DMD program (typically 2-3 years). There is NO residency-based (GPR/AEGD) educational-equivalency pathway that substitutes for the CODA degree.

## Notes

Controlling authorities: Wyo. Stat. 33-15-108(a) (CODA U.S./Canada degree required; written exam = National Board (now iNBDE) + Wyoming jurisprudence; clinical exam acceptable to the board) and Wyo. Admin. Rules 034, Ch. 3, Sec. 6 (Licensure by Examination: CODA transcripts, iNBDE score, regional clinical exam). GPR/AEGD/specialty residency is referenced ONLY in the endorsement track (Sec. 7(b)(iii)) as a way to cure a clinical exam that lacked a fixed-prosthodontics component for an already-licensed dentist — NOT as an educational-equivalency route for non-CODA graduates. Verify current fees and any advanced-standing transcript specifics directly with the board (dentalboard@wyo.gov, (307) 777-6529).
