Why ADEX?
ADEX Dental and Dental Hygiene Examinations evaluate candidates’ psychomotor skills and didactic performance for entry-level practice. The American Board of Dental Examiners (ADEX) is comprised of representatives from member jurisdictions’ boards. Nearly all US states participate.
What does this mean for your students?
ADEX licensure allows your students the opportunity to challenge one examination, portable for the rest of their careers. ADEX was the first organization to recognize the potential of simulated examination technology, first developed by CDCA-WREB-CITA. Pioneers in the development of objective structured clinical skills assessments, or OSCEs, ADEX licensure is a multi-faceted demonstration of readiness for practice.
