I'm a dentist applying to ortho programs this year. I have several years of expereince. However, my part I Board score (88) is low by ortho standards. If I don't get in this year I am considering retaking the exam. I've heard that failure upon reexamination will result in revokation of licensure. Is this true? I know that it is unlikely that I would fail. But, I wouldn't want to risk losing my source of income. Has anyone out there ever retaken the exam?
