The Integrated National Board Dental Examination is a high-stakes licensure examination requiring candidates to use their clinical skills to successfully complete one or more dental problem-solving tasks. 
 
The Integrated National Board Dental Examination (INBDE) is a comprehensive dental licensing exam that was launched in August 2020 to replace the National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) Parts I and II in the United States. The INBDE is designed to assess the clinical judgment and decision-making skills of dental students and graduates and to ensure that they possess the knowledge and skills necessary to practice dentistry safely and effectively. Here are some details about the INBDE exam:
 
  • Format: The INBDE is a computer-based exam that is administered over two days. The first day consists of a 400-item multiple-choice test that covers the basic biomedical and dental sciences, and the second day consists of a 150-item test that assesses the candidate's clinical decision-making skills.
  • Content: The INBDE covers a wide range of topics in the basic biomedical and dental sciences, including anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology, dental anatomy, oral pathology, and radiology. The clinical decision-making test includes questions related to patient diagnosis, treatment planning, and management across a range of dental specialties, such as orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, and endodontics.
  • Scoring: The INBDE is scored on a scale of 49 to 99, with a passing score of 75. The score report provides a breakdown of the candidate's performance in each of the test domains and provides feedback on areas of strength and weakness.
  • Eligibility: The INBDE is typically taken by dental students and graduates who are seeking licensure to practice dentistry in the United States. Candidates must have completed a dental degree program or be within 60 days of graduation from a program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA).
  • Preparation: There are a variety of resources available to help candidates prepare for the INBDE, including review books, online study materials, and test preparation courses. It is recommended that candidates allow sufficient time to review and prepare for the exam and to focus on their areas of weakness.
