Complete Manikin Based Exam
"SRTA’s model teeth allow for proper assessment of restorations, crowns and bridges to be performed as if it were on a live patient.” - Dr. Charles Holt, DDS

States Resources for Testing and Assessments (SRTA)

States Resources for Testing and Assessments (SRTA) has been a trusted testing agency in the U.S. since 1975. Its innovative approach to dental licensure examinations, dental hygiene exams, dental candidate exams along with the vast network of examiners from across the country, affords it the opportunity to be the most responsive testing agency to meet the present challenges facing the dental industry.

SRTA offers its complete and comprehensive non-patient-based examination, eliminating the need for candidates to find and vet live patients. Our manikins accurately mimic real teeth and give the “perfect” patient for testing purposes.

SRTA continues to offer its traditional live-patient based exam as well. This exam continues to thoroughly assess dental and hygiene candidates' hands-on clinical skills.

SRTA exams are accepted in more than 75 percent of the U.S.

I had a phenomenal, all-around experience with SRTA. Whether it was registering for the exam, communication with the SRTA team, them accommodating my scheduling requests. The day of the exam was also surprisingly stress-free. They are friendly and professional! All instructions were communicated perfectly, and all questions were answered appropriately! Even taking the DSE portion was stress-free. I highly recommend anyone looking to take a regional dental licensure exam to go with SRTA. I am 100% satisfied.
