Frequently Asked Questions
How often is the TX dental jurisprudence assessment required?
Dentists without sedation permits and dental hygienists generally complete the applicable assessment every four years. A dentist who holds a nitrous oxide or Level 1-4 permit follows the Chapter 110 five-year cycle. A laboratory's on-site owner or general manager uses the laboratory assessment every three years; RDA renewal has no recurring jurisprudence item.
What laws does the TX dental juris exam cover?
Preparation should use Tex. Occ. Code Chapters 251-267 and the current TSBDE rules applicable to the candidate's credential. TSBDE does not publish percentage weights for a universal blueprint, and sedation permit holders use the Chapter 110 product.
Is there a separate exam for sedation permit holders?
Yes. Dentists holding nitrous oxide, Level 1-4 sedation permits must take and pass the Chapter 110 jurisprudence exam at their highest permitted level every 5 years.
What are the Texas dental CE requirements?
After the first biennial renewal, dentists and dental hygienists generally need 24 acceptable CE hours for each two-year renewal period. The jurisprudence assessment and CPR/OSHA coursework do not count toward those 24 hours.
