Dental Restoration Guide

Folks from Florida, you’d better check this article out.

There will be a bit of stringency in keeping with the regulations that protect the millions of American dental patients who receive permanently seated restoration treatments (at least those who receive them in Florida for now). This is due to the legislation filed by Florida Rep. Stan Jordan, R-Jacksonville, and backed by the Florida Dental Laboratory Association.

Dental-restoration products – such as porcelain crowns, dentures and bridges will now be regulated by requiring “all dental laboratories to disclose to dentists where a product was manufactured and what materials were used, and provide certificates of authenticity.”

Dentists will also be required to include this information in the records and dental charts of patients in case of enquiries. This will also help health officials track and trace particular restorations to their source in case problems later emerge. The bill also requires dental laboratory technicians to maintain continuing education every two years.
