Indiana dentist CE requirements

The published continuing-education requirements for a Indiana dental license, laid out clearly so you can see the whole picture before your renewal.

What the board requires

  • 20 hrsTotal per biennial cycle.
  • 2 hrsEthics, professional responsibility, and Indiana statutes and administrative rules governing the licensure and practice of dentists, counted within the total.
  • Min 10 hrsAt least half of the 20 hours (a floor of 10 hours) must be from live presentations or live workshops.
  • Up to 4 hrsNo more than 4 credit hours per license period from the dentist's own speech, lecture, or presentation.
One honest caveat. We have not yet confirmed every number against the primary board source, so we are not running an automatic Indiana calculator. We would rather leave it out than guess. Confirm the exact requirements with Indiana State Board of Dentistry.

Common questions

How many CE hours do Indiana dentists need?

20 hours per biennial renewal cycle. That is what CEChart has on file from the source cited on this page, not a figure confirmed against Indiana State Board of Dentistry, so check it with the board before you rely on it.

Which specific topics does Indiana require?

2 hours ethics, professional responsibility, and Indiana statutes and administrative rules governing the licensure and practice of dentists. These count inside the total, not on top of it. Not confirmed against Indiana State Board of Dentistry yet.

Are there limits on how Indiana dentists can earn CE hours?

Yes: at least half of the 20 hours (a floor of 10 hours) must be from live presentations or live workshops (at least 10 hours); no more than 4 credit hours per license period from the dentist's own speech, lecture, or presentation (up to 4 hours).

Can CEChart track my Indiana CE automatically?

Not yet. We show the Indiana requirements and their sources, but we do not run an automatic Indiana calculator until every number is confirmed against Indiana State Board of Dentistry.
