The American Board of Dental Examiners is a nonprofit organization formed by the consolidation of several longstanding dental licensure exam entities into a single national body. It acts as a primary source for developing, innovating, and independently administering clinical and psychomotor licensure assessments for oral health professionals. Its mission includes supporting state boards of dentistry to protect the public and uphold standards of excellence, integrity, and fairness. The organization is based in Linthicum, Maryland, and operates within the Hospitals and Health Care sector. As a mid-sized nonprofit, it oversees licensure examinations that reach a large share of dental and dental hygiene graduates in the United States. Through the merger, the entities behind the board collectively test and evaluate about 98 percent of dental graduates and 85 percent of dental hygiene graduates in the country.
