WRITTEN EXAMINATION

Background

The ABO Written Examination is a comprehensive exam that assesses the examinee's knowledge of basic sciences and clinical concepts. It is administered at computerized testing centers throughout the United States and Canada. You may petition the board for the opportunity to use a PearsonVUE testing facility outside of the U.S. and Canada. The board will evaluate the security of the test site. If the board concludes the integrity of the examination process can be maintained, permission may be given to test at an overseas facility. Each request will be assessed on an individual basis and the decision of the board is final.

The written examination is available to any educationally qualified practicing orthodontist who has never taken the written exam or was unsuccessful on a prior written exam. Residents in an ADA accredited orthodontic program may take the written exam in the year of their graduation or have completed at least 18 months of their program.

The written examination consists of multiple-choice questions and is divided into four (4) modules. Examination questions are related to the basic sciences, applied biomedical sciences, orthodontic theory, orthodontic practice, related dental disciplines and the orthodontic literature. Questions are developed from various sources by the ABO's Written Examination Committee. In the past, the committee formulated questions using the recommended reading list and referencing journals, textbooks and actual clinical case reports. Now, the process has been improved in order to keep the examination relevant to orthodontics as it is practiced today. The ABO has solicited questions from educators across the country, and will be asking for submission of questions from residents as well. These questions are reviewed and refined by the examination committee and then added to the bank of questions. The goal is to have thousands of questions in order to write multiple examinations for the computerization process. To that extent, the ABO has provided educators (and later, residents) an entry page for question submission on our website.

It is suggested that candidates review the courses taken during their advanced orthodontic education, major textbooks, and current orthodontic literature. The examination is based on subject areas outlined by the Commission on Dental Accreditation and includes the following subjects:

1.       Embryology and Genetics

2.       Growth and Development
