A certification issued to an itinerant dentist provider to administer anesthesia and sedation at a practice location other than his or her own dental facility shall expire at 12:00 midnight on December 31st on the fourth (4th) year following the effective date of the certification.

10713.6

An itinerant dental provider may apply for renewal of his or her certification to administer anesthesia or sedation at a practice location other than his or her own dental facility by submitting a renewal application on a form approved by the Board, which shall require the same type of documentation and information as was required for the initial certification, and payment of a nonrefundable fee.

10713.7

To protect the continuity of patient care, an itinerant dental provider who does not meet all of the requirements for certification at the time of submitting the application may apply for a provisional certification.

10713.8

Except as provided in § 10702.4 of this chapter, the Board may approve a provisional certification, not to exceed one (1) year, if the Board finds that the applicant substantially meets the requirements for a certification, and can be reasonably expected to satisfy the outstanding requirements within one (1) year.

10713.9

The Board may approve a one-time renewal of a provisional certification if good cause is found, such as circumstances beyond the control of the applicant. However, the Board shall not approve the renewal of a provisional certification for an applicant who has not demonstrated a good faith effort to fully satisfy the requirements for certification, such as failing to take actions within the applicant's control.
