Attention Candidates: Please note the latest update to the Oral Exam which has been implemented to enhance the examination experience and ensure a fair and appropriate assessment of each candidate's knowledge and skills.
Previously, candidates were asked to identify information that was missing from the provided subjective and objective examination findings from the presented scenario. Effective beginning at the March 2025 oral examination, candidates will be provided ALL relevant information about the patient's medical and dental history along with all findings from the clinical examination and diagnostic testing. Candidates will not be expected to ask their examiners for any additional information, and they can maintain their focus on the given information.
The ABE is committed to continual improvement in all of its examination processes in its efforts to assure the public that the endodontists it certifies have demonstrated exceptional knowledge, skill, and expertise in the specialty of endodontics and to progressively raise the quality of patient care. If you have any questions or require further clarification regarding this change, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Candidates who may be concerned about when they will be able to take the oral exam, please note that you can switch tracks and submit your Case History Portfolio as the second stage of the three-part ABE board certification process. There will be no penalty or additional fees to make this switch. If you would like to switch tracks, please email your track change request to our office at staff@amboardendo.org.
