Knowledge test for dentists

To ensure patient protection and the quality-oriented practice of the dental profession, the law on the practice of dentistry has been amended accordingly that if training in a non-EU country does not give the training equivalence or can only be determined with unreasonable effort, an equivalent level of knowledge must be demonstrated for the Approbation to be issued.

This evidence is provided by taking an examination (knowledge test). Even for applicants with training certificates from EU countries, the license to practice dentistry can only be granted if the equivalence of the level of knowledge has been demonstrated. A suitability test may then be carried out for these.

Conducting the knowledge test

The examination is to be requested from the German Dental Council (application form). For this reason, you will receive the dates and the invitation to the exam from the Dental Association and must pay the fees there.

The examination board consists of the chairperson and three to four other members. The knowledge test is an oral-practical exam (on the phantom head) and takes place in the University Medical Center, Center for Dental, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

The knowledge test has been successfully completed if the examination committee takes an overall view of the achievements in the above mentioned. At the end of the examination, the chairperson of the examination board will inform the candidate whether there is an equivalent level of knowledge or not.

After passing the knowledge test:

Approbation is granted on application, if the other requirements are also met (health and personal suitability, passed specialist language test).

Failed knowledge test:

The knowledge test can only be repeated twice. Between the exams, a temporary license can be issued with restrictions for a maximum of 1 year if the examination board has determined that working as a dentist is possible without affecting the health of the patient.

Application

The application for participation in the knowledge test can be submitted to the German Dental Council. Application can be submitted by the one who:

  1. has met the legal requirements for the granting of the license or the temporary exercise of the dental profession,
  2. can prove an employment position in the hospital.

The following documents must be submitted in the German Dental Council of the respective state in which you wish to practice further along with all the complete set of documentation and translations (if your documents are not in German Language). Also a handwritten, formulated CV is required which should mention every detail about your education and employment with specific dates.
