P.R. Laws tit. 20, § 94
It shall be unlawful for any person, whether or not a dentist, to practice dental surgery or to offer his services as a dental surgeon, under the name of any company, association, corporation or firm, or under any name other than his own; or to work, manage or be employed anywhere or in any office where dental work is done or contracted for and where such services are rendered in the name of any company, association, firm or corporation, and upon conviction such person shall be punished, for the first offense, by a fine of not less than one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500). Subsequent offenses shall be punished by a fine of not less than five hundred dollars ($500) and imprisonment in jail for a minimum term of six (6) months and a maximum term of two (2) years.
This shall not be construed as prohibiting two (2) or more authorized dentists to associate themselves under an agreement to practice the profession under the individual names of each and every one of them. The provisions of this section referring to practice under the name of a company, association, corporation, firm or under any other name other than his own, shall not be applicable to nonprofit charitable government or private institutions, provided the services are rendered by a dentist duly authorized in Puerto Rico and whose name appears conspicuously posted to the public in the office where the services are rendered.
