ABE Certification Testing

The American Association of Endodontists sponsors the American Board of Endodontics (ABE). Founded in 1956, the American Board of Endodontics is the only certifying board for the specialty of endodontics and is one of the specialty boards recognized by the American Dental Association.

The activities of the ABE conform to the “Requirements for Recognition of Dental Specialties and National Certifying Boards for Dental Specialists” of the American Dental Association National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards. 

The purpose of the ABE is to assure the public that the endodontists it certifies have demonstrated exceptional knowledge, skill, and expertise in the specialty of endodontics and to progressively raise the quality of patient care.

First-time test takers must create a Pearson account. Appointments may be made up to one business day in advance.

After you schedule your test, Pearson will send a confirmation letter listing your test date, your testing time, the address and phone number of the test center, and directions to the test center.
