Medical - Medical: Dentistry

On an examination certificate issued by the Dental Examining Board.

Somehow "candidate dentist" just sounds too literal and wrong.

Explanation:
This means: ((e.g., Herr)) cand. med. dent. Müller, a student of dentistry *after* the first four semesters (pre-clinical: stud. med. dent.), --> student of dentistry in the "clinical part" of the study.

But how to translate it into English? :-)
