§59-328.22.
   
   A. 1. The Board of Dentistry may issue a dental specialty license
   authorizing a dentist or an out-of-state dentist to represent himself
   or herself to the public as a specialist, and to practice as a
   specialist, in a dental specialty.
   
   2. No dentist or out-of-state dentist shall represent himself or
   herself to the public as a specialist, nor practice as a specialist,
   unless the individual:
   
   a. has successfully completed an advanced dental specialty educational
   program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the
   American Dental Association, and
   
   b. has been issued a dental specialty license by the Board.
   
   B. 1. Except as authorized in subsection C of this section, an
   applicant for a dental specialty license must satisfactorily pass an
   examination for dental specialty practice, as provided in the rules of
   the Board.
   
   2. An applicant for a dental specialty license who fails the
   examination shall be entitled to retake the examination upon such
   terms and conditions as may be established by the rules of the Board.
   
   C. 1. The Board may issue a dental specialty license by credentialing,
   without examination in the dental specialty, to an out-of-state
   dentist who:
   
   a. is in good standing with the dental licensing agency of the state
   or states in which the out-of-state dentist has been issued a license
   to practice dentistry,
   
   b. has successfully completed an advanced dental specialty educational
   program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the
   American Dental Association, and
   
   c. has been issued a dental specialty license by the dental licensing
   agency of another state or has received board certification from a
   national dental specialty board recognized by the Commission on Dental
   Accreditation of the American Dental Association and the rules of the
   Board.
   
   2. In conducting an investigation of an out-of-state dentist who has
   applied for a dental specialty license pursuant to this subsection,
   the Board may require of the applicant disclosure of the same
   background information as is required of an applicant for a license to
   practice dentistry in this state. If the Board determines that the
   out-of-state dentist is competent to practice a dental specialty, and
   after the out-of-state dentist passes an examination on the contents
   and interpretation of the State Dental Act and the rules of the Board,
   the out-of-state dentist may be issued a dental specialty license by
   the Board.
   
   3. The Board may require:
   
   a. an applicant for a dental specialty license pursuant to this
   subsection to have completed the same continuing education
   requirements as required of dentists in this state, and
   
   b. that the state from which the applicant presents credentials afford
   substantially equivalent licensure by credentialing to dentists of
   this state.
   
   D. Upon payment of a fee established by the rules of the Board, any
   applicant who meets the requirements of this section shall be entitled
   to be issued a dental specialty license by the Board.
   
   E. Out-of-state dentists to whom dental specialty licenses have been
   issued by the Board, but who have not been licensed in this state to
   practice dentistry, shall limit their practice in this state to the
   practice of the specialty for which they hold a dental specialty
   license.
