eGDCOverseas Registration Examination
Dentists whose qualifications are not recognised for the purposes of UK registration can apply to sit the Overseas Registration Examination (ORE). You can apply for registration when you have passed the ORE. Registration allows dentists to practise dentistry in the UK.
The ORE tests the knowledge and skills of overseas qualified dentists. It is made up of two parts.
