     The Colorado dental board is hereby created as the agency of this state for the regulation of the practice of dentistry in this state and to carry out the purposes of this article 220. The board is subject to the supervision and control of the division as provided by section 12-20-103 (2).    The board consists of seven dentist members, three dental hygienist members, and three members from the public at large. The governor shall appoint each member for a term of four years, and each member must have the qualifications provided in this article 220. No member shall serve more than two consecutive terms of four years. Each board member holds office until the member's term expires or until the governor appoints a successor.    In making appointments to the board, the governor shall attempt to create geographical, political, urban, and rural balance among the board members. If a vacancy occurs in any board membership before the expiration of the member's term, the governor shall fill the vacancy by appointment for the remainder of the term in the same manner as in the case of original appointments.    The governor may remove any member of the board for misconduct, incompetence, or neglect of duty.       A person is qualified to be appointed to the board if the person:   Is a legal resident of Colorado;    Is currently licensed as a dentist or dental hygienist, if fulfilling that position on the board; and    Has been actively engaged in a clinical practice in this state for at least five years immediately preceding the appointment, if fulfilling the position of dentist or dental hygienist on the board.       The board shall organize annually by electing one of its members as chairperson and one as vice-chairperson. The board may adopt rules for its government that the board deems proper. The board shall meet at least quarterly, and more often if necessary, at times and places the board designates.    A majority of the members of the board constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business, but if less than a quorum is present on the day appointed for a meeting, those present may adjourn until a quorum is present. Any action taken by a quorum of the assigned panel constitutes action by the board; except that, for disciplinary matters concerning a dentist, a majority of dentist members is required for a quorum.      Before the repeal of this article 220 pursuant to subsection (5)(b) of this section, all functions of the board are scheduled for review in accordance with section 24-34-104.    This article 220 is repealed, effective September 1, 2025.         History. Source: L. 2020: Entire article amended with relocations,(HB 20-1056), ch. 64, p. 222, § 1, effective September 14.

     Any person may submit a complaint relating to the conduct of a dentist or dental hygienist, which complaint must be in writing and signed by the person. The board, on its own motion, may initiate a complaint. The board shall notify the dentist or dental hygienist of the complaint against the dentist or dental hygienist.      For complaints related to the standard of care delivered to a patient that are submitted by a person other than the patient, the person submitting the complaint shall notify the patient of the complaint before filing the complaint with the board. (b) (I) For complaints related to the standard of care delivered to a patient that are submitted by a person other than the patient, the person submitting the complaint shall notify the patient of the complaint before filing the complaint with the board.    The requirements of this subsection (1)(b) do not apply when a complaint is submitted to the board by a state department or agency.            Except as provided in subsection (2)(b) of this section, investigations, examinations, hearings, meetings, and other proceedings of the board conducted pursuant to this section or section 12-220-202, 12-220-204, 12-220-205, or 12-220-206 are exempt from the provisions of any law requiring that proceedings of the board be conducted publicly or that the minutes or records of the board with respect to action of the board taken pursuant to this section or those sections are open to public inspection.    The final action of the board taken pursuant to this section is open to the public.       The discipline of a licensee by another state, territory, or country is deemed the equivalent of unprofessional conduct under this article 220; except that this subsection (3) applies only to discipline that is based upon an act or omission in the other state, territory, or country that is defined substantially the same as unprofessional conduct pursuant to this article 220.      Nothing in this section:   Deprives a dental patient of the right to choose or replace any professionally recognized restorative material; or    Permits disciplinary action against a dentist solely for removing or placing any professionally recognized restorative material.       Nothing in subsection (4)(a) of this section prevents disciplinary action against a dentist for practicing dentistry in violation of this article 220.        History.

  The chairperson of the board shall divide the members of the board, other than the chairperson, into two panels of six members each.    Each panel shall act as both an inquiry panel and a hearing panel. The chairperson may reassign members of the board from one panel to the other. The chairperson may be a member of both panels, but neither the chairperson nor any other member who has considered a complaint as a member of a panel acting as an inquiry panel shall take any part in the consideration of a formal complaint involving the same matter.    If the inquiry panel refers a matter for formal hearing, the hearing panel or a committee of the hearing panel shall hear the matter. However, in its discretion, either inquiry panel may elect to refer a case for formal hearing to a qualified administrative law judge in lieu of a hearing panel of the board for an initial decision pursuant to section 24-4-105.    A licensee who is the subject of an initial decision by an administrative law judge, or by the hearing panel that would have heard the case upon its own motion, may seek review of the initial decision pursuant to section 24-4-105 (14) and (15) by filing an exception to the initial decision with the hearing panel that would have heard the case if it had not been referred to an administrative law judge. The respondent or the board's counsel may file the exception.    The inquiry panel to whom an investigation is assigned shall supervise the investigation, and the person conducting the investigation shall report the results of the investigation to the panel for appropriate action.

     If the board has reasonable cause to believe that a person licensed to practice dentistry or dental hygiene in this state is unable to practice dentistry or dental hygiene with reasonable skill and safety to patients because of a physical or mental disability or because of excessive use of alcohol, a habit-forming drug or substance, or a controlled substance, as defined in section 18-18-102 (5), the board may require the licensed dentist or dental hygienist to submit to a mental or physical examination by a qualified professional designated by the board.    Upon the failure of the licensed dentist or dental hygienist to submit to a mental or physical examination required by the board, unless the failure is due to circumstances beyond the dentist's or dental hygienist's control, the board may suspend the dentist's or dental hygienist's license to practice dentistry or dental hygiene in this state until the dentist or dental hygienist submits to the examination.       Every person licensed to practice dentistry or dental hygiene in this state is deemed, by so practicing or by applying for a renewal of the person's license to practice dentistry or dental hygiene in this state, to have:   Given consent to submit to a mental or physical examination when directed in writing by the board; and    Waived all objections to the admissibility of the examining qualified professional's testimony or examination reports on the ground of privileged communication.       The results of any mental or physical examination ordered by the board cannot be used as evidence in any proceeding other than before the board.     History.

Where the board participates jointly with the hearing officer in conducting the proceedings involving a practitioner, in using the hearing officer as its legal advisor during its deliberations, and in entering the initial fact-finding decision, the board violates the statutory provisions of this article, and the practitioner is not required to demonstrate any prejudice to him as a result of these statutory violations.
