§ 45:6-3.
The board shall from time to time adopt rules for its own government and for the examination
of candidates for licenses to practice dentistry. Any rule altering the nature or increasing the severity of the examination or the
subjects to be included therein shall not be enforced until six months after its adoption
and public promulgation. The examination of applicants shall be confined to written or oral, or both written
and oral, examinations upon subjects properly relating to the science of dentistry,
the knowledge of which is necessary to the proper and skillful practice of said science. The board may also require from applicants, as part of the examination, demonstration
of their skill in operative and prosthetic dentistry. No person shall be examined by the board unless he is at least 18 years of age,
of good moral character, and shall present to the board a certificate from the Commissioner
of Education of this State, showing that before entering a dental college he had obtained
an academic education consisting of a four-year course of study in an approved public
or private high school or the equivalent thereof, unless he has been graduated in
course with a dental degree from a dental school, college or department of a university
approved by the board, or holds a diploma or license conferring full right to practice
dentistry in some foreign country and granted by some authority recognized by the
board. Any member of the board may inquire of any applicant for examination concerning
his qualifications, and may take testimony of anyone in regard thereto, under oath,
which he is hereby empowered to administer. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no person who is a graduate
of an unapproved dental school shall be examined by the board unless he has successfully
completed at least two years of study of a board approved curriculum at a dental school,
college or department of a university approved by the board, with a dental degree
