Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 59-328.36: Permit to operate dental laboratory

A. 1. Any person, firm, corporation, partnership or other

legal entity who desires to operate a dental laboratory in this

state shall file with the Board of Dentistry, on a form prescribed

by the Board, an application for a permit to operate a dental

laboratory and pay the fee established by the rules of the Board.

The application shall include the name and address of each person,

firm, corporation, partnership or other legal entity who owns an

interest in or will operate the dental laboratory. Upon receipt of

the application and fee, the Board shall determine the

qualifications of the applicant and may grant a permit to the

applicant to operate a dental laboratory.

2. Except as provided in subsection C of this section, no

person, firm, corporation, partnership or other legal entity shall

operate a dental laboratory in this state without having obtained a

permit from the Board. The Board may inspect any dental laboratory

prior to the issuance of any permit.

B. Any change in ownership, operation or location of a dental

laboratory shall immediately be communicated to the Board, which

shall endorse upon the permit, without further fee, the change in

ownership, operation or location.

C. Nothing in the State Dental Act shall be construed to:

1. Prohibit a dentist from owning or operating a private,

noncommercial dental laboratory in a dental office for the dentist's

use in the practice of dentistry;

2. Require a dentist to obtain a permit from the Board for the

operation of a dental laboratory in the office of the dentist unless

dental laboratory technology is provided to persons other than the

dentist at that location; or

3. Require a dentist to issue a laboratory prescription for

dental laboratory technology to be performed by an employee of, in

the office of, and for a patient of, the dentist.

D. The dental laboratory shall make available to the

prescribing dentist, Board, or agent or employee of the Board:

1. A list of all materials in the composition of the final

appliance;

2. The location where the appliance was fabricated, including

the name, address, telephone number and Food and Drug Administration

registration number, if applicable, of the person or entity

performing the work; and

3. A description of all disinfection methods used in the

fabrication of the appliance.

E. No permit shall be required for a licensed dentist in the

State of Oklahoma, the licensed dentist's dental practice on-site

dental lab, the licensed dentist's physical practice, or the

licensed dentist's CAD, CAM, 3-D or other technology used for

fabricating dental prostheses including crowns, bridges and other

dental restorations. If the licensed dentist provides dental

prostheses for other licensed dentists in the State of Oklahoma,

then the dental laboratory portion of the practice shall be required

to have a permit as it is functioning as a commercial dental

laboratory.
