The board has the authority, upon presentation of satisfactory credentials under the rules as the board may prescribe, to issue permits to a graduate of an approved dental school or college who has not been licensed to practice dentistry in this State, who has passed an examination for licensure in this State and who, in the board's judgment, has not violated a provision of this chapter or rules adopted by the board to serve as a dental intern in a licensed hospital, providing the hospital maintains a dental staff of at least one licensed dentist. Permits expire at the end of one month and may be renewed by the board. The intern functions under the supervision and direction of the dental staff of the hospital, and the intern's work is limited to patients admitted to the hospital. The intern is not eligible to receive a fee or compensation in addition to the salary or other remuneration received from the hospital. [1993, c. 600, Pt. A, §69 (AMD).]

A special permit may be issued by the board to a licensed dentist practicing outside this State when the request for the dentist comes from a charitable or social organization within the State and when the purpose for that permit is to provide free dental care for the public when resident dental service is not available. The board may provide an expiration date for a permit issued, except that a permit may not be valid for more than one year. [RR 1993, c. 2, §33 (COR).]

The board must, prior to the issuance of this permit, determine that the supervision and control of the services to be performed by the student are adequate and that the performance of these services by the student adds to the student's knowledge and skill in dentistry. Permits expire at the end of each month and may be renewed by the board. [RR 1993, c. 2, §33 (COR).]

Specialists in particular fields of dentistry practicing outside the State may be issued a permit to practice within the State for a period not to exceed 6 months. [1993, c. 600, Pt. A, §69 (AMD).]

An individual may not receive a temporary permit for more than 7 days in any calendar year. [1997, c. 107, §7 (NEW).]

The board has the authority, upon presentation of satisfactory credentials and fulfillment of other conditions set by rule adopted by the board, to issue a permit to a graduate of an approved dental school or college who has not been licensed to practice dentistry in this State, who has passed an examination for licensure in this State and who, in the board's judgment, has not violated a provision of this chapter or rules adopted by the board to serve as a dental resident in a board-approved dental setting within the State.
