5     Sec. 16. Expiration, renewal and restoration of licenses.
6 The expiration date and renewal date for each license issued
7 under this Act shall be set by rule. The renewal period for
8 each license issued under this Act shall be 3 years. A dentist
9 or dental hygienist may renew a license during the month
10 preceding its expiration date by paying the required fee. A
11 dental hygienist shall provide proof of current
12 cardiopulmonary resuscitation certification at the time of
13 renewal. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation certification training
14 taken as a requirement of this Section shall be counted towards
15 the continuing education hours under Section 16.1 of this Act.
16     Any dentist or dental hygienist whose license has expired
17 or whose license is on inactive status may have his license
18 restored at any time within 5 years after the expiration
19 thereof, upon payment of the required fee and a showing of
20 proof of compliance with current continuing education
21 requirements, as provided by rule.
22     Any person whose license has been expired for more than 5
23 years or who has had his license on inactive status for more
24 than 5 years may have his license restored by making
25 application to the Department and filing proof acceptable to

 

 

09600SB0290ham001 - 3 - LRB096 04743 ASK 25856 a

1 the Department of taking continuing education and of his
2 fitness to have the license restored, including sworn evidence
3 certifying to active practice in another jurisdiction, and by
4 paying the required restoration fee. A person practicing on an
5 expired license is deemed to be practicing without a license.
6 However, a holder of a license may renew the license within 90
7 days after its expiration by complying with the requirements
8 for renewal and payment of an additional fee. A license renewal
9 within 90 days after expiration shall be effective
10 retroactively to the expiration date.
11     If a person whose license has expired or who has had his
12 license on inactive status for more than 5 years has not
13 maintained an active practice satisfactory to the department,
14 the Department shall determine, by an evaluation process
15 established by rule, his or her fitness to resume active status
16 and may require the person to complete a period of evaluated
17 clinical experience and may require successful completion of a
18 practical examination.
19     However, any person whose license has expired while he has
20 been engaged (1) in federal or state service active duty, or
21 (2) in training or education under the supervision of the
22 United States preliminary to induction into the military
23 service, may have his license restored without paying any
24 lapsed renewal or restoration fee, if within 2 years after
25 termination of such service, training or education other than
26 by dishonorable discharge, he furnishes the Department with

1 satisfactory proof that he has been so engaged and that his
2 service, training or education has been so terminated.

6     Sec. 49. Identification of dentures.
7     (a) Every complete upper and lower denture and removable
8 dental prosthesis fabricated by a dentist, or fabricated
9 pursuant to his or her prescription, shall be marked with the
10 name or social security number, or both, of the patient for
11 whom the prosthesis is intended. The markings shall be done
12 during fabrication and shall be permanent, legible and
13 cosmetically acceptable. The exact location of the markings and
14 the methods used to apply or implant them shall be determined
15 by the dentist or dental laboratory fabricating the prosthesis.
16 If in the professional judgment of the dentist, this full
17 identification is not possible, the name or social security
18 number may be omitted.
19     (b) Any removable dental prosthesis in existence which was
20 not marked in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section at
21 the time of fabrication, shall be so marked at the time of any
22 subsequent rebasing or duplication.
