LAWS OF MARYLAND
Ch.8
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SUBTITLE, A PERSON
OTHER THAN A LICENSED DENTIST MAY NOT DO DENTAL LABORATORY
WORK UNLESS THE PERSON:
(1) WORKS UNDER A WORK AUTHORIZATION THAT MEETS
THE REQUIREMENTS OF § 4-403 OF THIS SUBTITLE; AND
(2) USES CASTS OR MODELS MADE FROM IMPRESSIONS
TAKEN BY A LICENSED DENTIST.
(B) EXCEPTIONS.
THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SUBTITLE THAT RELATE TO WORK
AUTHORIZATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO:
(1) A DENTAL LABORATORY ON THE PREMISES OF A
DENTAL OFFICE THAT IS USED ONLY BY THE LICENSED DENTISTS
PRACTICING IN THE OFFICE; OR
(2) A DENTAL STUDENT, DENTAL TECHNICIAN, OR
STUDENT DENTAL TECHNICIAN WHILE DOING DENTAL LABORATORY WORK
AT THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, HOSPITAL, OR CLINIC WITH
WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL IS ASSOCIATED.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the introductory
language to Art. 32, § 25, from Art. 32, § 25(a)
— except the last clause of that subsection —
and the last half of (c)l.a., and from Art. 32, §
25(c)5.
In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the
exception from the definition of "dental
laboratory" in present Art. 32, § 25(c)l.a. is
expressed as an affirmative exception from the
work authorization requirements, for clarity.
As to subsection (b)(2) of this section, present
Art. 32, § 25(c)5. states that a dental student,
a dental technician, or a student dental
technician may not do dental laboratory work away
from the premises of an educational institution,
hospital, or clinic except under a work
authorization. In view of the general
prohibition on dental laboratory work without a
work authorization, the apparent intent behind
the provision is to recognize that dental
laboratory work on the designated premises by the
enumerated individuals does not require a work
authorization, since, otherwise, the provision is
meaningless.
The terms "dental laboratory" and "dental
laboratory work" are defined in § 4-101 of this
title.
The last clause of present Art. 32, § 25(a) now
appears in § 4-101(1) of this title.
