The Professional Regulation Commission has released the results of the November 2025 Licensure Examination for Dentists, with 1,282 out of 1,474 candidates passing.
On December 12, 2025, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced the outcomes of the Licensure Examination for Dentists held in November 2025. The exam took place in the National Capital Region (NCR), Baguio, Cebu, and Davao, administered by the Board of Dentistry. Chaired by Dr. Merlin A. Go, the board includes members Dr. Melinda L. Garcia, Dr. Carlito D. Paragas, Dr. Gloria M. Bumanlag, and Dr. Ellis James B. Ranada.
A total of 1,282 examinees passed out of 1,474 who took the test, marking a success rate of approximately 87 percent. The results were made public just four working days after the examination concluded, reflecting the efficiency of the process.
Top-performing schools will be recognized according to Commission Resolution No. 1814 of 2024, though specific rankings were not detailed in the announcement. The list of top 10 achievers and the full roster of passers are available through official channels.
Successful candidates must register online starting February 16, 2026, via the PRC website at www.prc.gov.ph. Registration requires submitting a downloaded Oath Form, notice of admission for identification, two passport-sized photos with white background and name tag, two sets of documentary stamps, and a short brown envelope. Examinees are required to register in person and sign the Roster of Registered Professionals. The oathtaking ceremony's date and venue will be announced subsequently.
This licensure enables new dentists to practice professionally in the Philippines, contributing to the country's healthcare workforce.
