    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Dental Practice Management

    Background:

    • Increasing prevalence of illegal dentistry practices.
    • Significant impact observed from Canadian experiences.
    • Approximately one-third of U.S. states have faced threats from illegal dental practitioners.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the rising concerns of illegal dentistry.
    • To highlight the economic factors contributing to the problem.
    • To emphasize the need for a comprehensive, multi-level approach to combat illegal dental practices.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of the increasing trends in illegal dentistry.
    • Identification of economic drivers behind illegal dental practices.
    • Review of successful strategies and the role of different organizational levels.

    Main Results:

    • Economic factors are identified as a primary driver of illegal dentistry.
    • Continuous responsibility from national, state, and local levels is crucial for program success.
    • Grass-roots level engagement, particularly involving the FPO (Full Practice Option), is essential for effective leadership and program implementation.

    Conclusions:

    • Combating illegal dentistry requires a sustained, collaborative effort across all governmental and professional levels.
    • The FPO has a significant opportunity to lead initiatives at the local level.
    • Addressing economic incentives is key to mitigating the threat of illegal dental practices.
