About this exam
The Southern Regional Testing Agency (SRTA) Dental Examination is a regional clinical licensure examination for dentists seeking to meet dental board requirements in participating U.S. jurisdictions. It is intended for eligible dental graduates and other candidates whose licensing pathway recognizes the SRTA exam; it is not a dental school admissions test. Passing requirements and accepted examinations are set by each state or jurisdiction, so confirm that the SRTA Dental Examination applies to your intended license before scheduling.
The examination assesses clinical judgment and the ability to provide safe, appropriate dental care. Review areas may include comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning, caries detection and risk assessment, operative dentistry and direct restorations, and fixed prosthodontics and crown preparation. The current candidate guide explains the applicable sections, procedures, materials, and testing rules; format and requirements can change by cycle or jurisdiction. Prepare by learning the official protocols as well as the clinical principles behind each task, and use timed question practice to identify gaps.
How to prepare for the SRTA Dental Examination
- Read the current SRTA candidate guide and your licensing board’s requirements first. Check the exam sections, eligibility rules, required materials, and any jurisdiction-specific instructions.
- Review diagnosis and treatment planning, caries risk assessment, direct restorations, and crown preparation. For each area, connect clinical findings to appropriate treatment choices and understand the relevant protocols.
- Use timed clinical scenarios and MCQs to practice decision-making under exam conditions. Review every missed item, especially errors involving diagnosis, procedure sequence, patient safety, or restoration quality.
