1.A dentist licensed in Iowa who is applying for renewal must
complete how many hours of continuing education during the
current renewal period?
A. 15 hours
B. 30 hours
C. 45 hours
D. 60 hours
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Iowa Administrative Code 650-13.2(153) mandates that a
licensed dentist must complete 60 hours of continuing education during
,each two-year renewal cycle. This requirement ensures that practitioners
remain current with advances in dental science, patient safety protocols,
and changes in state law.
2. Which of the following actions constitutes the unlawful practice of
dentistry in Iowa without a valid license?
A. A dental hygienist placing sealants under the direct supervision of a
licensed dentist
B. A dental assistant taking coronal polish impressions under the order
of a dentist
C. An unlicensed individual performing the final delivery and
adjustment of a removable partial denture
D. A dental student performing extractions at an accredited college
clinic under faculty supervision
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Iowa Code 153.14 defines the practice of dentistry as
including the delivery, adjustment, and insertion of prosthetic
appliances. An unlicensed individual performing the final delivery and
adjustment of a removable partial denture is therefore unlawfully
,practicing dentistry. The other activities may be permitted when
performed under appropriate supervision or within an accredited
educational setting.
3. Pursuant to Iowa law, a dentist who administers a general
anesthetic must do all the following EXCEPT:
A. Conduct a pre-anesthetic health evaluation
B. Ensure a separate individual monitors the patient's vital signs
C. Have immediate access to emergency resuscitative equipment
D. Administer the anesthetic without a permit if the patient is over 18
years old
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Iowa Administrative Code 650-13.6 requires a dentist
administering general anesthesia or deep sedation to hold a valid permit
issued by the Iowa Dental Board, regardless of the patient's age. The
permit process verifies appropriate training, facility equipment, and
emergency protocols.
, 4. A dentist's obligation to maintain patient confidentiality under
Iowa law continues:
A. Only during the active course of treatment
B. For five years following the last patient visit
C. Until the patient's death, after which records become public
D. Indefinitely, even after the dentist-patient relationship terminates
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Iowa Code 272C.6 and ethical standards under the Iowa
Dental Board affirm that the duty of confidentiality is perpetual. Patient
information must be safeguarded indefinitely, except when disclosure is
required by law or authorized by the patient.
5. Which of the following correctly describes the composition of the
Iowa Dental Board?
A. 6 dentists, 1 hygienist, 2 public members
B. 5 dentists, 2 hygienists, 2 public members
C. 4 dentists, 3 hygienists, 2 public members
