INBDE Prep: Format & Practice
The INBDE is the Integrated National Board Dental Examination required for US dental licensure, replacing the older NBDE Parts I and II. It integrates foundation knowledge with clinical content across three patient-care domains. Here's how it's structured — with realistic COSMIQ practice.
COSMIQ prepares you for the INBDE and administers realistic full-length mock tests — it does not administer the real exam or issue a dental license.

An integrated blueprint spanning diagnosis and treatment planning, oral health management, and practice and profession, with foundation knowledge integrated across all domains.
Does COSMIQ issue a dental license?
No. COSMIQ prepares you for the INBDE and administers realistic practice — it does not administer the real exam or issue a dental license. Licensure comes from your state dental board.
