THE COMMITTEE DID NOT THINK THERE WAS A NEED TO SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS PERIODONTAL SCREENING AND CHARTING BY ORTHODONTISTS IN THE BOARD POLICIES SINCE THE ORTHODONTICS PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO SHARED IT HAS A PROTOCOL THAT EVERY COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT PATIENT (FULL PERMANENT DENTITION) HAS PERIODONTAL CHARTING BEFORE TREATMENT, AND INDICATED THAT MOST PROGRAMS PROBABLY HAVE A SIMILAR PROTOCOL. THE COMMITTEE ALSO RECOMMENDED THE BOARD CONSIDER A POLICY ADDRESSING BOTOX/DERMAL FILLERS/SLEEP APNEA AFTER ALL THE POLICIES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. THERE WAS ALSO DISCUSSION TO CREATE A POLICY TO ADDRESS A DENTIST CHECKING ON A DENTAL ASSISTANT’S WORK SINCE EXPANDED DUTIES IS ACCEPTABLE BUT THE SUPERVISING DENTIST IS RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE.
