§ 603. Limited academic dentist license
(a) Scope of dentist practice. A limited academic dentist license is a credential that authorizes the practice of dentistry only:
(1) at a teaching facility operated by a dental program that is accredited by the American Dental Association’s Commission on Dental Accreditation to grant doctoral degrees in dental medicine or dental surgery; and
(2) under the general supervision of a dentist who is fully licensed in good standing in Vermont.
(b) Eligibility. To qualify for a limited academic dentist license, an applicant must:
(1) be appointed as a full-time dental instructor of an accredited dental program;
(2) hold a dental degree sufficient for licensure by examination under section 601 of this title; and
(3) complete any courses in emergency office procedures or cardiopulmonary resuscitation required for a licensed dentist.
(c) Specialties unavailable. A limited academic dentist license holder who is not otherwise licensed as a dentist in this State is ineligible for sedation and general anesthesia specialties.
(d) Notification of termination required. A limited academic dentist license holder must notify the Office within 48 hours after any termination as a full-time dental instructor. Continued practice after termination constitutes unauthorized practice under 3 V.S.A. § 127.

(1) meet all renewal requirements set forth in subsections 661(a)–(d) of this title for a licensed dentist, except no fee is required; and
