American Board of Prosthodontics Certification Testing

The mission of the American Board of Prosthodontics is to certify individuals who have demonstrated special knowledge and skills in prosthodontics. The Board also seeks to certify those who are committed to life-long learning and a lifetime of ethical practices, who value the doctor/patient relationship, who respect those with philosophical, cultural, or physical differences and who are committed to the advancement of prosthodontics.

The American Board of Prosthodontics recognizes its responsibility to the profession and to the public and accepts this responsibility through the administration of an examination designed to identify individuals with the knowledge, skills, and attributes deemed important to those who will be called Diplomates of the American Board of Prosthodontics.

Taking the ABP written exam begins by creating an account, verifying eligibility, and completing registration for this exam on the ABP website, www.abpros.org. This must be completed by January 31 for each exam year. This must be completed before you may be considered for testing on this site.
