NBDE stands for National Board Dental Examination. There are two parts in this examination. Each part is developed according to examination specifications.

Part-1 consists of Basic Science questions
Part-2 deals with major dental subjects.

The purpose of the NBDE is to assist state boards in determining qualifications of dentists who seek licensure to practice dentistry. The examination assesses the ability to understand important information from basic biomedical and dental sciences and also the ability to apply such information in a problem-solving context.

The National Board Dental Exam Part I is usually taken after two years of dental school. It consists of four examinations on the basic biomedical sciences titled:

Anatomic Sciences
Biochemistry-Physiology
Microbiology-Pathology
Dental Anatomy and Occlusion

Each of the four Part I examinations consists of approximately 100 multiple-choice test items. Beginning in 2007, Part I will be a comprehensive exam with 400 multiple-choice items. Approximately 20 percent of the items will be grouped into testlets with interdisciplinary focus and clinical application.

The National Board Dental Examination Part II consists of 500 test items. The discipline-based component (Component A) includes 400 items and the case-based component (Component B) includes 100 items based on 8-10 case problems. Part II examinations will include test items (approximately 30 percent) that have references pertinent to the basic sciences.

Part II is usually taken during the last year of dental school. It consists of a comprehensive, 1½ day examination. It covers the clinical dental sciences (Operative Dentistry, Pharmacology, Endodontics, Periodontics, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery–Pain Control, Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry and Oral Diagnosis, Oral Pathology/Dental Radiology, and Patient Management, (Behavioral Science/Dental Public Health and Occupational Safety). Approximately one fifth of the examination includes test items based on patient cases.
