The American Board of Dental Examiners, Inc. (ADEX) is a test development agency serving its member state dental boards in developing
licensure examinations for dentistry professionals. The ADEX examination is accepted
by the greatest number of states and jurisdictions that license Dental Professionals.
Each state dental Board decides which examination they accept. Since those states
make changes on a regular basis so you should check with the state that you wish to
seek a license from. Contact information for the state dental boards can be found
at the American Dental Association.
