Labs & Technicians
All commercial and private dental laboratories operating, doing business, or intending to operate or do business in Kentucky must register with the Kentucky Board of Dentistry.
A dental laboratory shall be considered as operating or doing business in Kentucky if its work product is prepared pursuant to a written authorization originating in Kentucky. A private laboratory performs work exclusively for its own dental office and no other outside work orders. All other labs, which accept outside work orders, are commerical labs.
All commercial laboratories must employ at least one certified dental technician (CDT) who is certified by the National Board of Certification in order to be eligible to register as a commercial dental laboratory.
The information provided below must be submitted for both laboratories and technicians in order for a lab to accept a work order originating from Kentucky.
