Why it matters for dental
Oral and maxillofacial radiology practices and academic programs may gain a single, ADA-recognized certifying board, which could standardize credentialing and influence hiring, referral patterns, and hospital privileging for radiologists.
Key points
- The American Certifying Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology has formally applied for national certifying board recognition through the ADA.
- Recognition, if granted, would create the first ADA-approved board for this specialty.
- Dental schools, OMS radiology fellowships, and hospital-based programs will track the ADA’s decision for future curriculum and privileging requirements.
- Practicing oral radiologists may later reference the new board certification when seeking contracts or insurance-panel status.
