if you look at the stat, the foreign trained dentist tends to score worse than the US graduate. I know some IDP program has a minimum requirement of 77-80 on part I, so I'd encourage you to retake the exam if you have enough time. But remember to do better when you retake the exam, since the ADA will only report your most recent score, and not the best score you've ever had.
