When is the registration deadline?
It is recommended that you register your residency to participate in the Dental Match by May 31, 2023, although registrations can be accepted after that date. You should register as soon as possible so your program can be added to the List of Participating Programs and applicants will know that your residency is participating in the Dental Match.
It takes many programs a significant amount of time to collect applications and schedule interviews. Many applicants submit their rankings of programs before the Rank Order List deadline. Therefore you should ensure that your program is registered well before the final deadlines listed below so that it has enough time to evaluate and be ranked by applicants.
The final deadline for ORTHO, PERIO, PROS, ANES and Canadian GPR programs to register to participate in the Match is November 13, 2023. The final deadline for AEGD, US GPR, OMS and PED programs to register to participate in the Match is January 12, 2024.
