Therefore, the ADEX would now develop the dental and dental hygiene examination for that particular testing agency, not the testing agency’s exam committee. Unfortunately, not all testing agencies believe in a uniform national dental and dental hygiene licensure examination and still retain their own exam committees and continue to develop and administer their own dental and dental hygiene licensure exam. Dental hygienists who worked through the past year likely encountered experiences unlike any other time in history.

The clear benefit to the manikin board is the removal of ethical qualms of the LPE while maintaining a standardized method of testing.6 It is widely accepted that the manikin exam is more standardized than a live-patient test. As opposed to LPEs, there are no true risks in the manikin format since it’s completed on a typodont rather than a live person. The educational institutions act independently of State Boards of Dentistry as far as the administration of a particular licensing examination at that school. The licensure process is an expensive one, so it is wise to avoid errors in exam selection. Regional clinical exams range from $975 to $1,625 before adding on facility fees and travel expenses.
These websites indicate which regional board is accepted by the agency. If an update is not posted about the acceptance of manikin clinical exams, an email to the contact person listed on the site will get the ball rolling.

Some States accept all regionally administered licensure examinations and some States only accept one. While already in the works by several testing agencies, implementation of a manikin-based clinical exam seemed to save the day. It allowed campuses to offer clinical exams with lower risk of spreading COVID-19. In states like Indiana, the dental board temporarily removed a patient or manikin-based examination as a requirement for licensure. While the removal of the clinical exam may have been welcomed at the moment, it may have lasting consequences.

In previous years, this modality of testing has been scrutinized for being ethically unsuitable for determining clinical competency for dental hygiene licensure. A dental facility permit is required of the office where an anesthesia/sedation permit holder practices dentistry and provides anesthesia/sedation services. If you have a permit but are not practicing in the state of Tennessee you do not need a dental facility permit. If you are found to be practicing sedation at a dental facility in the state of Tennessee without the required permit you will be turned over to the Office of Investigations and Office of General Counsel for formal disciplinary action and civil penalties. One reason for concern is how this affects license transferability from state to state. Applying for a license in another state is required when working across state lines.
If you are pregnant, medically compromised, or are otherwise unable or unwilling to be a patient, you must contact UMSOD prior to the course to discuss accommodations. If you are unable or unwilling to participate as a patient, you will be asked to provide a patient for the clinical portion of this course. Through a combination of lecture and hands-on lab work, participants will gain skills in the implementation of local anesthesia. After watching the webinar, print out the certificate of completion.
ADEX’s philosophy is motivated by the concept of a Uniform National Dental and Dental Hygiene Clinical Licensure Examination administered throughout the country in accredited dental and dental hygiene institutions by regional and independent testing agencies. The responsibilities of DHBC include issuing, reviewing, and enforcing dental hygiene licenses as well as developing the Law and Ethics examinations. Additional functions include promulgating regulations, establishing and maintaining fees, oversight and approval of dental hygiene educational programs, and continuing education requirements for all dental hygiene licensure categories. The manikin board has sparked a wave of other alternative testing methods, the future of which will be the Dental Hygiene Licensure Objective Structured Clinical Examination (DHLOSCE), set to launch in 2024.
If you currently work with or know an individual, organization or agency that provides offices inspections, you may submit their name and contact number for the board to consider for approval. I need a verification sent to another state, how do I request and is there a fee? You need to request the verification in writing and there is no fee.
