    Background:

    • Corporate, nondental interests increasingly influence dental practice decision-making.
    • The North Carolina Dental Association (NCDA) identified a need to protect patient autonomy.
    • Existing regulations lacked clear statutory limits on external commercial influence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the legislative process undertaken by the NCDA.
    • To outline the challenges faced in limiting corporate influence in dentistry.
    • To report the successful enactment of laws safeguarding patient rights.

    Main Methods:

    • Document analysis of legislative proceedings.
    • Stakeholder interviews (implied).
    • Advocacy and lobbying efforts over a two-year period.

    Main Results:

    • Enactment of statutory limits on corporate, nondental interests in dental practices.
    • Protection of patient rights to receive care free from commercial influence.
    • Successful navigation of opposition from well-funded, politically connected entities.

    Conclusions:

    • Legislation can effectively shield patient care from undue commercial interests.
    • The NCDA's efforts established a precedent for protecting professional autonomy in dentistry.
    • Patient-centered care is prioritized through clear statutory boundaries.
