The result then was developed into an instrument with 2 criteria was used to determine content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR). The result was developed into a 5-point Likert scale instrument which would be used to determine internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and corrected item–total correlation with Pearson’s correlation. Results: The qualitative method generated 4 domains. Domain shiddiq comprised 2 components, domain amanah 2 components, domain tabligh 2 components and domain fathonah 4 components with the value of agreement of each domain was approximately between 67% - 100%. The CVR value of the components of competence was between 0,69 – 1, while the CVI value was 0,877. The reliability test scored 0,923. Conclusion: The Competence Standards of Islamic Dentistry can be used as guidance for designing Islamic dental curriculum. Further research should be conducted to design assessment.
