§ 33.207. Prescribing, administering and dispensing controlled substances.
(2) Dental examination and medical history. A dental examination shall be conducted and a medical history shall be taken before a dentist initially prescribes, administers or dispenses a controlled substance to a patient. The examination and medical history shall be complete enough to justify the prescription, administration or dispensation of the controlled substance. The examination shall focus on the patients dental problems, and the resulting diagnosis shall relate to the patients specific complaint. The patients dental record shall contain written evidence of the examination and medical history.
(i) On each occasion when a controlled substance is prescribed, administered or dispensed to a patient, an entry shall be made in the patients dental record containing the following information:
(A) The name, quantity and strength of the controlled substance.
(ii) For the purpose of this subsection, health care facility records will be considered part of the patients dental record. A patients dental record that contains entries pertaining to the issuance of controlled substances shall be retained by the dentist for a minimum of 5 years following the date of the last entry of any kind in the record.
(5) Exception. This subsection, except for paragraph (1), does not apply when a controlled substance is prescribed, administered or dispensed to a patient in a health care facility regulated by the Department of Health or by the Department of Public Welfare.
(c) This section does not restrict or limit the applicability of The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act (35 P. S. § § 780-101780-144) or of another statute or regulation and does not relieve a dentist from complying with more stringent standards that may be imposed by another regulation or statute.
