Methodology
What is INBDE?
The INBDE (Integrated National Board Dental Examination) is the standardized dental licensing exam in the United States. It’s a pass/fail, two-day computer-based examination covering biomedical sciences, clinical dental sciences, and patient management. International dentists must pass INBDE to apply through CAAPID to U.S. dental schools.

**No INBDE = No CAAPID application.**
The Challenge for International Dentists:
Years since dental school :- Material forgotten
Different curriculum :- Some topics unfamiliar
U.S.-specific content :- Guidelines, drugs, protocols differ
Integrated format :- Different from memorization-based exams
English terminology :- Different terms for same concepts
The Good News:
Clinical experience :- Case-based questions leverage your experience
Mature study skills :- You know how to learn efficiently
Pass/fail format :- Don't need to score highest — just pass
Clear motivation :- Your career depends on it
