Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

225 ILCS 25/49

(225 ILCS 25/49) (from Ch. 111, par. 2349)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026)

Sec. 49. Identification of dentures.

(a) Every complete upper and
lower denture and removable dental prosthesis fabricated by a dentist,
or fabricated pursuant to his or her prescription, shall
be marked with the name of the patient
for whom the prosthesis is intended. The markings shall be done during
fabrication and shall be permanent, legible and cosmetically acceptable.
The exact location of the markings and the methods used to apply or implant
them shall be determined by the dentist or dental laboratory fabricating
the prosthesis. If in the professional judgment of the dentist, this full
identification is not possible, the name may be omitted.

(b) Any removable dental prosthesis in existence
which was not marked in accordance with paragraph (a)
of this Section at the time of fabrication, shall be so marked at the
time of any subsequent rebasing or duplication.
