The National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) is a comprehensive test designed to evaluate the knowledge and skills of dental students and professionals seeking licensure in the United States. It is typically taken by dental school graduates or students nearing completion of their programs. Passing the NBDE is a crucial requirement for obtaining a dental license and practicing dentistry, and it is administered by the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (JCNDE).
