Question 2

At biennial renewal, a dentist claims 30 CE hours: 22 ordinary qualifying hours plus 8 hours of approved pro bono service. Every mandatory course is satisfied and CPR is current. Florida caps pro bono credit at 6 hours; a first CE shortage carries a $100 fine per missing hour and requires the missing hours to be completed. What outcome follows?

Accepted Answer

A 2-hour shortage, a $200 fine, and 2 make-up hours

Answer

No shortage because all 30 reported hours are qualifying

Answer

A 2-hour shortage, a $100 fine, and no make-up

Answer

An 8-hour shortage, an $800 fine, and 8 make-up hours

Question 3

An applicant under Florida's MOBILE Act has an active, unencumbered out-of-state dental license with similar scope and meets the examination, background-screening, NPDB, and financial-responsibility conditions. Active practice during the four years immediately before applying totals 18 months. How does the practice-history requirement affect eligibility?

Accepted Answer

It is not met; 2 active years during the preceding 4 are required

Answer

It is waived because the out-of-state license is active

Answer

It is met once the FDLR score transfers, because only 12 months of recent practice is required

Answer

It is met if a Florida employer confirms a full-time position

Question 4

An intact, properly fitting temporary crown dislodges from a continuing-care patient while the dentist of record is away and cannot perform a pre-examination. A formally trained dental assistant has current CPR certification, and a dentist will evaluate the patient in two days. What may the assistant do?

Accepted Answer

Re-cement the crown with temporary cement before the two-day visit

Answer

Provide no treatment until the dentist can examine the patient

Answer

Permanently cement the crown after confirming acceptable occlusion

Answer

Re-cement it temporarily and postpone dental evaluation until the next scheduled recall

Question 5

After examining a patient in a private dental office, the dentist diagnoses the need for sealants and authorizes a formally trained dental assistant to place them. The dentist then leaves the premises before placement begins. What should happen next?

Accepted Answer

Placement must wait until the dentist is again on the premises

Answer

Placement may proceed because diagnosis and authorization are complete

Answer

Placement may proceed while the dentist remains available by live video

Answer

The task should be reassigned to a hygienist working without supervision

Question 6

At a county health department program that qualifies as a health-access setting, a Florida-licensed dental hygienist plans to apply an ADA- or FDA-approved fluoride varnish. The required written disclaimer, referral process, dental-home encouragement, and malpractice coverage are in place. No dentist has examined the patient or authorized the service. What does Florida law permit?

Accepted Answer

Application without the dentist's presence, prior examination, or authorization

Answer

Application only after a prior examination, although the dentist may remain offsite

Answer

Application under indirect supervision with the dentist on the premises

Answer

Cancellation until a dentist provides written authorization for the preventive service

Question 7

A Florida dental hygienist holds the required local-anesthesia certificate and current basic life-support certification. For which patient may the hygienist administer local anesthesia?

Accepted Answer

A 19-year-old nonsedated patient under direct dentist supervision

Answer

A 17-year-old nonsedated patient under direct dentist supervision

Answer

A 28-year-old moderately sedated patient under direct dentist supervision

Answer

A 36-year-old nonsedated patient after the dentist leaves the premises

Question 8

A former patient requests the complete dental record, including radiographs, while disputing an unpaid treatment balance. No special circumstance delays production. How should the office respond?

Accepted Answer

Provide the requested copies within 30 days and collect only lawful copying charges

Answer

Withhold all copies until the treatment balance is paid

Answer

Release clinical notes but retain radiographs pending payment

Answer

Send only a treatment summary unless the patient first serves a subpoena for the entire record

Question 9

A solo dentist closes for a long weekend. The voicemail says, 'For dental pain, call Monday; for a life-threatening emergency, call 911.' No dentist is covering the practice. What additional arrangement is required for continuing-care patients?

Accepted Answer

Reasonable 24-hour dental coverage, personally or through another Florida dentist

Answer

The nearest pharmacy's after-hours telephone number

Answer

Automatic referral of every dental complaint to a hospital emergency department

Answer

No change; directing emergencies to 911 transfers all professional after-hours responsibility

Question 10

A crown advertisement states a compliant minimum fee but no effective period. The final advertisement ran 60 days ago, and a patient who meets the advertised conditions now requests the procedure. What price obligation remains?

Accepted Answer

The office must make the procedure available at or below the advertised fee

Answer

The office may charge its current fee because the campaign ended

Answer

The office must honor the fee only if treatment began within 30 days

Answer

The office may withdraw the offer retroactively and refer the patient elsewhere
