For the 4 states that require ADEX CDCA live patient exam (NV, WY, OK, FL), does anyone know if you can do the restorative parts as live patient, and do the perio scaling on manikin? Or does it need to be all live patient?

Thanks.

Hi. Is the state of Florida requiring a live patient examination for all the portions including restorative perio? I called the board and they did not give a clear response.

I have a Florida dental license and I did Manikin ADEX... so unless c/o 2021 was an exception, one does not need a live patient.

When I last looked, the states which did not accept Mannequin ADEX were WYOMING, NEVADA, and GEORGIA.

EDIT: I just checked and you are right, Florida and Oklahoma are now on that list. I guess c/o 2021 was an exception and that exception has since expired.

Is there any hope that some of these states will switch to a mannikin-based exam? We are in the middle of a pandemic and it has been incredibly difficult to get patients to come in, let alone satisfy board requirements...
 
Can anyone clarify Georgia's ADEX requirements? Based on the website, restorative is patient-based, but perio is manikin OR patient. So we can opt to take a "hybrid" exam with resto on patient and perio on manikin..?
