D.S. 174 / 2024
Governing MINEDUC Decree
Diario Oficial de la República de Chile (in force August 2026)
Universidad de Chile dental revalidation requires at least 70% comparability with the Cirujano/a Dentista plan de estudios (360 SCT / 9,720 hours), then three examinations — teórico, preclínico and clínico — each allowing a maximum of two attempts and reported only as APROBADO or REPROBADO with no numerical grade. Fees are capped at 2 + 3 + 15 UTM, where the 15 UTM covers the whole set of examinations rather than each attempt. All requirements must be passed within two years, and failing them bars a new application at the Universidad de Chile.
Sample Revalida Odontología UChile Practice Questions
Try these sample questions to test your Revalida Odontología UChile exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.
1According to the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II), how is an active enamel carious lesion classified when a distinct visual opacity is observed on a wet occlusal surface without localized surface cavitation?
2During the operative management of a deep carious lesion in a vital, asymptomatic permanent molar with radiographically confirmed deep dentin involvement (>75% dentin thickness), what is the contemporary evidence-based caries removal strategy recommended by the International Caries Consensus Collaboration (ICCC)?
3A 22-year-old patient presents with acute throbbing pain in tooth 1.6 that lingers for 45 seconds after cold stimulus application and awakens the patient at night. Periapical radiography shows deep mesial caries approaching the pulp chamber with normal periodontal ligament width. What is the definitive pulpal and periapical diagnosis according to American Association of Endodontists (AAE) diagnostic terminology?
4Which primary chemical irrigant is considered the gold standard in endodontic treatment due to its unique dual capability of tissue dissolution and broad-spectrum antimicrobial action against biofilm?
5When bonding a direct resin composite restoration using a universal adhesive system in 'self-etch' mode, what is the primary rationale for selectively etching only the enamel margins with 37% phosphoric acid ('selective enamel etching')?
6A 28-year-old female presents with a pin-point mechanical pulp exposure (<0.5 mm) in sound, non-carious axial dentin during cavity preparation of tooth 4.5 under rubber dam isolation. The pulp tissue is bright red and bleeding stops spontaneously within 2 minutes under saline irrigation. Which biomaterial is the evidence-based first choice for direct pulp capping to promote dentin bridge formation?
7What is the primary role of 17% EDTA when alternated with sodium hypochlorite during root canal biomechanical preparation?
8In restorative dentistry, the 'C-Factor' (configuration factor) is defined as the ratio of bonded to unbonded surfaces. Which cavity preparation classification exhibits the highest C-factor and consequently the greatest risk of polymerization shrinkage stress at the adhesive interface?
9What is the primary function of camphorquinone in light-cured dental composite resins?
10Which microorganism is considered the primary early colonizer and principal etiological pathogen in the initiation of enamel dental caries due to its rapid acidogenesis and aciduricity?
About the Revalida Odontología UChile Exam
Revalidation of a foreign dental degree as Cirujano/a Dentista is run by the Universidad de Chile: Prorrectoría receives and registers the application, and the Facultad de Odontología carries out the curricular study and sets the academic requirements. Candidates who reach at least 70% comparability with the Universidad de Chile dental curriculum must pass an Examen Teórico, an Examen Preclínico and an Examen Clínico, each reported only as approved or failed. This route applies to graduates from countries without a recognition treaty with Chile; graduates covered by the Convención de México follow the separate reconocimiento route via the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores. Language and format disclosure: the official examinations are sat in Spanish, in person, in Santiago, and include preclinical and clinical performance on patients. This practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the underlying dental knowledge and Chilean oral-health regulation. It is not an official translation, it does not reproduce the official format, and MCQs cannot certify the preclinical or clinical skill the faculty assesses directly.
Assessment
Applications are filed with Prorrectoría, which checks admissibility and refers the file to the Facultad de Odontología. The faculty has 45 days to compare the candidate's training against the Cirujano/a Dentista plan de estudios (360 SCT / 9,720 hours). Below 70% comparability the faculty proposes denial. At 70% or above the candidate proceeds to mandatory requirements: an Examen Teórico, an Examen Preclínico and an Examen Clínico, each with a maximum of two attempts counted separately. Final approval or denial rests with the resolving authority.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Universidad de Chile Dental Revalidation Exam?
It is the official academic examination administered by the Facultad de Odontología of the Universidad de Chile under D.F.L. N° 153 of 1981 and Decreto Supremo N° 174 of 2024 to revalidate foreign dental degrees and grant the Chilean professional title of Cirujano Dentista.
Who must take this revalidation examination?
Foreign-trained dental professionals who earned their degree outside Chile and wish to practice dentistry legally in Chile, except those eligible for the direct treaty recognition route (reconocimiento) via the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores (Minrel) under multilateral agreements such as the Convención de México.
What are the entry prerequisites for the examination?
The application must be filed with Prorrectoría — sending papers straight to the faculty does not start the procedure. Required documents are the apostilled or legalised degree, an official transcript, the official plan de estudios with duration, credits or hours, content and modality, an identity document, and a professional practising authorisation where applicable. The Facultad de Odontología then has 45 days to compare that training against the Cirujano/a Dentista plan de estudios; at least 70% comparability is needed to continue, which permits the candidate to sit the required examinations but is not itself an approval.
What is the examination structure and how are results reported?
There are three examinations — Examen Teórico, Examen Preclínico and Examen Clínico. Each may be attempted at most twice, and the attempts are counted separately for each examination. Results are expressed only as APROBADO or REPROBADO, with no mark or numerical grade. All requirements must be passed within two years and cannot be scheduled across more than three academic semesters. Exhausting the attempts without passing ends the process and bars a new revalidation or recognition application at the Universidad de Chile.
What are the fees for dental degree revalidation in Chile?
For applications filed from 17 August 2026 the maximums fixed by D.E. N° 384/2026 apply: 2 UTM for intake and admissibility, 3 UTM for the academic evaluation, and 15 UTM for the complete set of examinations or final requirements. The 15 UTM covers the set — it is not charged per attempt. Any additional curricular activities are capped at 20 UTM in total, and the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores step, where applicable, is capped at 18 UTM. UTM is valued at the month of payment.
Is this practice question bank in Spanish or English?
This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation designed to help candidates prepare for the clinical reasoning and theoretical knowledge tested in the exam. The official Chilean examination is conducted entirely in Spanish and includes practical treatment of real patients.
