New York Laws
Article 133 - Dentistry, Dental Hygiene, and Registered Dental Assisting
6605 - Limited Permits.

§ 6605. Limited permits. 1. On recommendation of the board, the
department may issue a limited permit to a graduate of a dental college
who meets the educational qualifications for admission to the licensing
examination in dentistry for employment in a hospital or dental facility
approved by an appropriate agency, while under the direction or
supervision of a licensed dentist. No such permit shall be issued or
renewed unless such graduate has a bona fide offer of a position in such
a hospital or dental facility.

2. On recommendation of the board, the department may issue a limited
permit for instructing in dentistry to a dentist not licensed under this
article to be employed by a registered school of dentistry or dental
hygiene to instruct and supervise clinical dentistry or dental hygiene
for students in such a registered school in the state, and in so doing
to practice dentistry as defined in this article, but only on the
premises of such registered school or such other premises as may be used
for instruction in the program of education conducted by such
institution. No person shall be permitted or authorized to instruct and
supervise clinical dentistry for students unless such person is licensed
in this state or holds the foregoing limited permit for instructing in
dentistry.

3. The holder of a limited permit under this section may practice
dentistry, as defined in this article, but only in the performance of
duties required by the position for which the limited permit is issued.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize such unlicensed
dentist to engage in the private practice of dentistry.

4. A limited permit under this section shall be valid for one year or
until ten days after notification of denial of an application for
license. A limited permit may be renewed for one year, except if the
applicant is serving in a residency program in a hospital or school of
dentistry in this state. A limited permit may be renewed annually for
the duration of such residency program. The fee for each limited permit
and for each renewal shall be one hundred five dollars.

5. Notwithstanding subdivision one of this section, dental school
graduates who meet the license requirement for education pursuant to
subdivision two of section sixty-six hundred four of this article shall
be deemed to be exempt persons pursuant to section sixty-six hundred ten
of this article and shall not be required to obtain a limited permit,
provided that they are employed in an approved residency program for the
purpose of fulfilling initial licensure requirements pursuant to section
sixty-six hundred four of this article. Not later than sixty days after
entry into an approved residency program, the dental resident shall
register on a form acceptable to the commissioner and pay to the
department a residency registration fee established by the department,
which residency registration fee shall be reasonable and shall not
exceed the limited permit fee specified in subdivision four of this
section. All persons deemed exempt pursuant to this section shall be
subject to all provisions of article one hundred thirty of this title,
including but not limited to having disciplinary action taken against
their residency registration status.
