Section 71-185Dentistry; license; requirements; renewal; continuing competency requirements.
Every applicant for a license to practice dentistry shall (1) present proof of graduation from an accredited school or college of dentistry and (2) pass an examination prescribed by the Board of Dentistry which shall be elementary and practical in character but sufficiently thorough to test the fitness of the candidate to practice dentistry. Such examination shall include questions on anatomy, physiology, chemistry, dental materials, materia medica, therapeutics, histology, pathology, oral surgery, operative and prosthetic dentistry, dental jurisprudence, and such other subjects as are usually found in the curriculum of a dental college. Demonstrations of the applicant's skill in clinical dentistry shall also be required.
The department shall accept, upon the recommendation of the board and in lieu of the examination, a certificate of examination issued by the National Board of Dental Examiners of the United States of America. Every applicant for a license upon the basis of such certificate shall be required to pay the fee for licenses issued in dentistry without examination based upon a certificate by examination held by the National Board of Dental Examiners of the United States of America.
Each Nebraska-licensed dentist and dental hygienist in active practice within the State of Nebraska shall, on or before March 1 of each odd-numbered year, complete continuing competency activities as required by the Board of Dentistry pursuant to section 71-161.09 as a prerequisite for the licensee's next subsequent license renewal.
