Primary source: Indiana State Board of Dentistry — official site. Requirements on this page are summarised from the Board's published rules — always confirm the current rules at the source.
Indiana's rulebook comes from the Indiana State Board of Dentistry, and the number that matters is 20 hours per biennial renewal — spread across the cycle it’s about one certificated hour a month (figures drawn from published summaries of the Board’s rules — always confirm current requirements with the Board before relying on them).
The total is only half the story; these standing expectations sit alongside it:
- Two hours covering ethics, professional responsibility and Indiana statutes and administrative rules
- Up to half the hours may be home study
How free online courses slot in: recognised-provider courses (ADA CERP, AGD PACE) are the practical standard, and the free certificated platforms in this directory publish on exactly those recognitions. Spread across the cycle it’s about one certificated hour a month — a free lunchtime webinar habit retires the cycle with nothing spent.

Frequently asked questions
How many CE hours do Indiana dentists need?
20 hours per biennial renewal, under the Indiana State Board of Dentistry. Format and category parameters sit in the Board’s rule — confirm the current text before relying on a plan.
Do free online courses count in Indiana?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (up to half the hours may be home study), and the free certificated platforms in this directory can carry a large share of a biennial cycle.
Is CPR required?
Most boards expect current CPR/BLS certification as a standing matter — Indiana’s current rule text is the place to confirm the exact wording and format before your renewal.
Do I submit certificates at renewal?
Generally you attest at renewal and keep records for audit — one dated folder of certificates per year is the system that survives an audit letter. Check whether your board uses CE Broker or its own reporting portal.
