A. A licensee may request in writing to the board a restriction to practice under his existing license, and the board and the dental hygienists committee shall have authority, if it deems appropriate, to attach stipulations to the licensure of the licensee to practice dentistry or dental hygiene within specified limitations and waive the commencement of any proceeding. Removal of a voluntary restriction on licensure to practice dentistry or dental hygiene shall be subject to the procedure for reinstatement of license. As a condition for accepting such voluntary limitation of practice, the board may require each licensee to:
(1) agree to and accept care, counseling or treatment of physicians or other appropriate health care providers acceptable to the board;
(2) participate in a program of education prescribed by the board; or
(3) practice under the direction of a dentist acceptable to the board for a specified period of time.
B. Subject to the provisions of the Impaired Dentists and Dental Hygienists Act, a violation of any of the conditions of the voluntary limitation of practice statement by such licensee shall be due cause for the refusal of renewal, or the suspension or revocation, of the license by the board.
