P.R. Laws tit. 20, § 89a
The Board of Dental Examiners is hereby empowered to grant provisional licenses to practice, gratuitously, the odontology profession, exclusively in nonprofit charitable institutions in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico recommended by the Secretary of Health, to those professional dentists who meet the following qualifications:
(1) Produce evidence of having been hired by any charitable or nonprofit entity established in the Commonwealth.
(2) Submit satisfactory evidence that he meets all the requisites for admittance to revalidation examinations before the Board of Dental Examiners of Puerto Rico and that he has been legally exercising the profession in any of the states of the American Union.
The granting of this provisional license does not authorize the private practice of odontology. Said license shall be in effect until the date most proximate to that in which the revalidation examinations for the granting of permanent licenses are held.
The dentists covered by the benefit of the provisional license shall be exempt from the requisite of collegiation imposed by §§ 111—123 of this title until they are granted the right to practice permanently.
