Ohio § 4715.09

§ 4715.09.

(A) No person shall practice dentistry without a current license from the state dental

board.  No person shall practice dentistry while the person's license is under suspension

by the state dental board. (B) No dentist shall use the services of any person not licensed to practice dentistry

in this state, or the services of any partnership, corporation, or association, to

construct, alter, repair, or duplicate any denture, plate, bridge, splint, or orthodontic

or prosthetic appliance, without first furnishing the unlicensed person, partnership,

corporation, or association with a written work authorization on forms prescribed

by the state dental board. The unlicensed person, partnership, corporation, or association shall retain the original

work authorization, and the dentist shall retain a duplicate copy of the work authorization,

for two years from its date.  Work authorizations required by this section shall be open for inspection during

the two-year period by the state dental board, its authorized agent, or the prosecuting

attorney of a county or the director of law of a municipal corporation wherein the

work authorizations are located. (C) If the person, partnership, association, or corporation receiving a written authorization

from a licensed dentist engages another person, firm, or corporation, referred to

in this division as “subcontractor,” to perform some of the services relative to the

work authorization, the person shall furnish a written sub-work authorization with

respect thereto on forms prescribed by the state dental board. The subcontractor shall retain the sub-work authorization and the issuer thereof shall

retain a duplicate copy, attached to the work authorization received from the licensed

dentist, for inspection by the state dental board or its duly authorized agents, for

a period of two years in both cases. (D) No unlicensed person, partnership, association, or corporation shall perform any

service described in division (B) of this section without a written work authorization

from a licensed dentist.  Provided, that if a written work authorization is demanded from a licensed dentist

who fails or refuses to furnish it for any reason, the unlicensed person, partnership,

association, or corporation shall not, in such event, be subject to the enforcement

provisions of section 4715.05 or the penal provisions of section 4715.99 of the Revised Code . (E) No dentist shall employ or use conscious sedation unless the dentist possesses a

valid permit issued by the state dental board authorizing the dentist to do so. (F) No dentist shall employ or use general anesthesia unless the dentist possesses a

valid permit issued by the state dental board authorizing the dentist to do so. (G) Division (A) of this section does not apply to a nonresident person who meets both

of the following conditions: (1) The person holds a license in good standing to practice dentistry issued by another

state. (2) The person is practicing as a volunteer without remuneration during a charitable

event that lasts not more than seven days. When a nonresident person meets the conditions of this division, the person shall

be deemed to hold, for the course of the charitable event, a license to practice dentistry

from the state dental board and shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter

authorizing the board to take disciplinary action against a license holder.  Not less than seven calendar days before the first day of the charitable event,

the person or the event's organizer shall notify the board of the person's intent

to engage in the practice of dentistry at the event.  During the course of the charitable event, the person's scope of practice is limited

to the procedures that a dentist licensed under this chapter is authorized to perform

unless the person's scope of practice in the other state is more restrictive than

in this state.  If the latter is the case, the person's scope of practice is limited to the procedures

that a dentist in the other state may perform.  Chapter 4796. of the Revised Code does not apply to this division.
