The ADA Department of Testing Services administers the Dental Admission Test (DAT) as part of the application process for dental school. The DAT is a test designed to measure general academic ability, comprehension of scientific information and perceptual ability.
The Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (JCNDE) administers the National Board Dental Examinations Part I and Part II as well as the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination. After successfully passing the National Board Dental Examinations (Part I and Part II or Dental Hygiene), you can display your achievement with a National Board Dental or Dental Hygiene Certificate. This full-size certificate features the gold embossed ADA seal and official designation of your achievement.
The next generation of the National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) is in the works. The Integrated National Board Dental Examination (INBDE) is a new single integrated licensure examination for dentistry that integrates basic, behavioral, and clinical sciences to assess entry level competency in dentistry to assist state boards of dentistry in evaluating candidates for dental licensure. Work on the INBDE is being overseen by the Committee for an Integrated Examination (CIE). The CIE is a special committee of the JCNDE, whose charge is to develop and validate the new examination instrument.

There are specific licensure requirements that must be met before practicing dentistry or becoming a dental hygienist. The three basic requirements are an educational requirement, a written examination requirement and a clinical examination requirement. The National Board Dental Examinations are intended to fulfill or partially fulfill the written examination requirement.
Many U.S. and Canadian dental schools that offer advanced standing programs for international dental graduates participate in ADEA CAAPID. Listed below are the institutions that currently accept applications from international dental graduates through ADEA CAAPID. If a dental school that offers advanced standing admission is not listed below, you will need to contact that program directly for information about its admissions process.
