Section 20-02-01-07 - Removable dental prostheses owner identification1. Every complete upper and lower denture or removable dental prosthesis fabricated by a dentist or fabricated pursuant to the dentist's work order must be marked with the name of the patient for whom the prosthesis is intended. The markings must be done during the fabrication process and must be permanent, and cosmetically acceptable. The exact location of the markings and methods used to apply or implant them shall be determined by the dentist or dental laboratory fabricating the prosthesis. If in the professional judgment of the dentist or dental laboratory this identification is not practical, identification must be provided as follows: a. The initials of the patient may be used if the entire name is not practical. b. The identification marks may be omitted in their entirety if no form of identification is practical or clinically safe. 2. Failure of any dentist to comply with this section shall be deemed to be a violation of the rules of the board and the dentist may be liable to penalty as permitted under statute. N.D.
