§  6604-b.  Restricted  dental  faculty license. 1. The department may
issue a restricted dental faculty license to a full-time faculty  member
employed  at  an approved New York state school of dentistry. The holder
of such restricted dental faculty license shall have  the  authority  to
practice  dentistry,  as  defined  in this article, but such practice of
dentistry shall be limited to the school's facilities  or  the  school's
clinics,  or  facilities  or  clinics  with  relationships to the school
confirmed by formal affiliation  agreements.  Nothing  in  this  section
shall  be  construed  to  authorize  such  holder of a restricted dental
faculty license to engage in the private practice of  dentistry  at  any
other site.
2.  To  qualify  for a restricted dental faculty license the applicant
shall present satisfactory evidence of the following:
(a) The completion of a total of no less than six  academic  years  of
pre-professional and professional education, including:
i. courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology or zoology
and physics; and
ii. not less than four academic years of professional dental education
satisfactory  to  the  department  culminating  in  a degree, diploma or
certificate in dentistry recognized by the appropriate civil authorities
of the jurisdiction in which the school is  located  as  acceptable  for
entry into practice in the jurisdiction in which the school is located.
(b)  Within  the  last  five  years,  have  two  years of satisfactory
practice as a dentist  or  have  satisfactorily  completed  an  advanced
education  program  in  general  dentistry  or  in  a  dental specialty,
provided such program is accredited by an organization accepted  by  the
department  as  a reliable authority for the purpose of accrediting such
programs (such as the commission on dental accreditation); and
(c) Possesses good moral character as determined by the department.
3. The dean of the  dental  school  shall  notify  the  department  in
writing upon the submission of an initial license application and yearly
thereafter  that  the  holder  of the dental faculty license is employed
full-time at the dental school. Full-time employment means the holder of
such dental faculty license devotes at least four full working days  per
week  in  teaching or patient care, research or administrative duties at
the dental school where employed. The dean of the dental school and  the
holder  of  such dental faculty license shall each notify the department
in  writing  within  thirty  days  of  the  termination   of   full-time
employment.
4.  In  order  to  continue  to  practice  dentistry,  the holder of a
restricted dental faculty license shall apply for  and  hold  a  current
triennial  registration  which shall be subject to the same registration
requirements as apply to holders of unrestricted dental licenses, except
that such registration shall be  issued  only  upon  the  submission  of
documentation  satisfactory  to the department of the holder's continued
status  as  a  full-time  dental  faculty  member,  provided  that  such
registration  shall immediately terminate and the holder shall no longer
be authorized to practice if the holder ceases to be a full-time  dental
faculty member at an approved New York state school of dentistry.
5.  The  holder  of  this  restricted  dental faculty license shall be
subject to the professional misconduct provisions set forth  in  article
one  hundred  thirty  of  this  chapter and in the rules of the board of
regents and the regulations of the commissioner.
6. The fee for each restricted dental faculty license shall  be  three
hundred   dollars,  and  the  fee  for  initial  registration  and  each
subsequent re-registration shall be three hundred dollars.
7. In order to be eligible for a restricted dental faculty license  an
applicant  must  be  a  United  States  citizen or a noncitizen lawfully

admitted  for  permanent  residence  in  the  United  States;  provided,
however,  that  the  department  may  grant  a  three  year waiver for a
noncitizen who otherwise meets all other requirements for  a  restricted
dental   faculty  license  except  that  the  department  may  grant  an
additional extension not to exceed six years to a noncitizen  to  enable
him  or her to secure citizenship or permanent resident status, provided
such status is being actively pursued. No current faculty  member  shall
be displaced by the holder of a restricted dental faculty license.
