A dentist is licensed to examine, diagnose, treat, and care for conditions within the human oral cavity and its adjacent tissues and structures. A dental hygienist provides education and preventive and delegated therapeutic dental services.  \nCurrently, all applicants for licensure as a dentist or dental hygienist must pass a practical or clinical examination developed by the American Board of Dental Examiners, Inc. (ADEX), in addition to meeting other qualifications. A live patient, rather than a manikin or simulated patient, must be used during the clinical examination.  \nIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 31 , 2021, the State Surgeon General issued Emergency Order 21-001, which suspended the prohibition against the use of manikins or simulated patients in lieu of live patients during the administration of the ADEX examinations. The Emergency Order expired on June 30, 2021.  \nCS/HB 517 requires the use of a manikin with typodont teeth for the restorative and periodontal skills portionson the dental clinical examination and for the dental hygiene clinical examination. This eliminates the requirement for dental and dental hygienist applicants to perform clinical examination components on a live patient. The bill also removes the following provisions that are unnecessary because the examination is no longer on live patients:  \n􀁸 The requirement for dental students to obtain, and the Board of Dentistry’s authority to require, specified medical malpractice insurance;  \n􀁸 The requirement for dental schools to make arrangements for patients who require follow-up dental care as a result of procedures performed during the clinical examination; and  \n􀁸 The requirement that dental schools ensure that a student’s academic record does not include any evidence that the student poses an unreasonable risk to a patient during the clinical examination.  \nThe bill has an insignificant, negative fiscal impact on DOH, which current resources are adequate to absorb. The bill has no fiscal impact on local governments.  \nThe bill is effective upon becoming a law.  \nFULL ANALYSIS  \nI. SUBSTANTIVE ANALYSIS  \nA.
