The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced on Friday, December 12 that 1,282 of the 1,474 candidates who sat for the November 2025 Licensure Examination for Dentists passed the exam.
The examination was administered by the Board of Dentistry across four locations—National Capital Region, Baguio, Cebu, and Davao. The board members who oversaw the test were Chairman Dr. Merlin A. Go and members Dr. Melinda L. Garcia, Dr. Carlito D. Paragas, Dr. Gloria M. Bumanlag, and Dr. Ellis James B. Ranada.
Official results were released four working days after the last day of testing, and the Commission’s Resolution No. 1814 series of 2024 identified the top‑performing dental schools. A separate graphic listed the ten examinees who achieved the highest scores.
Starting February 16, 2026, successful examinees must register online at www.prc.gov.ph. The registration package requires a completed Oath Form (Panunumpa ng Propesyonal), a notice of admission, two passport‑size photos with white background and name tags, two sets of documentary stamps, and a short brown envelope.
Examinees are expected to personally register and sign the Roster of Registered Professionals. The date and venue for the oathtaking ceremony will be announced at a later time.
