Recertification

Click Here to Renew Online

Candidates who successfully complete the RG examination will be issued RG certificates by NBC.  An annual renewal due each September is required with the RG designation with a maximum of four renewal cycles.  Renewal invoices are mailed out to each RG approximately three months prior to renewal.

Effective for the 2008 renewal, the National Board for Certification in Dental Laboratory Technology Board of Trustees determined that Recognized Graduates (RG) will resume having to maintain continuing education to renew their designation.

The new requirement consist of 1 hour Regulatory Standards and 5 additional hours in any of the following areas: Documented Scientific, Professional Development, non-Documented Credit or Regulatory Standards.

For a complete explanation of the continuing education requirements, click on the continuing education link.

The NBC strongly recommends that you continue to take continuing education to be up-to-date with new technology and modern techniques.  It will also help you to prepare to become a Certified Dental Technician.
Remember, your RG designation is only good for a maximum of four years at which it can count towards your CDT certification.  If at the four year point you still have not moved towards becoming a CDT, your RG designation will expire.
