Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Illinois Dental Practice Act. Defines "teledentistry". Makes changes concerning the requirements that must be met by a dental assistant before the dental assistant may replace, carve, and finish amalgam restorations, place, pack, and finish composite restorations, and place interim restorations. In provisions concerning the qualifications for a permit to administer anesthesia and sedation, requires the Department to ensure that the dentist has completed and maintains certification in advanced cardiac life support or pediatric advanced life support. In provisions concerning death or incapacitation of a dentist, provides that specified personnel may contract with another dentist or dentists to continue the operations of the deceased or incapacitated dentist's practice for a period of one year (rather than no more than one year) from the time of death or incapacitation or the dentist or until the practice is sold, whichever occurs first. Provides that if the practice is not sold within the initial one-year period, the contract may be extended for additional 12-month periods by the Department, but the extension shall not exceed 3 additional 12-month periods. Sets forth specified requirements for extension. Changes repeal and operative dates for various provisions of the Act. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
