Sec. 47.
Dental laboratories.
Dentists may employ or engage the services
of any dental laboratory to construct or repair, extraorally, prosthetic
dentures, bridges, or other replacements for a part of a tooth, a tooth, or
teeth. A dental laboratory so employed may, with the knowledge of the
dentist, subcontract with another dental
laboratory for all or a portion of such construction or repair. A dental
laboratory so employed or engaged, when
constructing or repairing such dentures, bridges or replacements,
exclusively, directly and solely for dentists,
and not for the public or any part thereof, shall not be deemed
or considered to be practicing dentistry as defined in this Act.
Dental laboratories may advertise, but such advertisements may be directed
only toward dentists. Each advertisement shall contain the following language:
"Available only to licensed dentists". Advertisements in trade journals
or professional publications for dentists, or direct mail solicitations
addressed to dentists, need not contain such language.
