Primary source: Montana 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.
The Montana Board of Dentistry sets Montana's requirement — 60 hours per triennial renewal — spread across the cycle it’s roughly two certificated hours a month (figures drawn from published summaries of the Board’s rules — always confirm current requirements with the Board before relying on them).
Beyond the raw number, Montana names specific obligations worth diarising:
- Self-study and online formats are broadly accepted within the rule
Where this directory helps: ADA CERP and AGD PACE recognition is what the free certificated platforms here are built on, and it is what boards look for. Spread across the cycle it’s roughly two certificated hours a month — treat it as a routine rather than a deadline and the requirement takes care of itself.

Frequently asked questions
How many CE hours do Montana dentists need?
60 hours per triennial renewal, under the Montana 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 Montana?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (self-study and online formats are broadly accepted within the rule), and the free certificated platforms in this directory can carry a large share of a triennial cycle.
Is CPR required?
Most boards expect current CPR/BLS certification as a standing matter — Montana’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.
