A dentist must submit a written report to the Board within 30 days
after:
(1) the death of a dental patient which occurred as a consequence
of the receipt of dental services from the reporting dentist; or
(2) injury to a dental patient requiring admission to a hospital,
as a consequence of receiving dental services from the reporting dentist.
(3) The receipt of the report shall not be considered in the
nature of a complaint unless the Enforcement Committee determines that the
circumstances surrounding the patient death should be investigated by the
Board.
