(b) Satisfactory evidence of having graduated from a school of dentistry accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association; or

(d) Submission of a copy of the military orders assigning the active duty member to an assignment in Oregon; and

(e) The spouse holds a current license in another state to practice dentistry at the level of application; and

(f) The license is unencumbered and verified as active and current through processes defined by the Board; and

(g) Satisfactory evidence of successfully passing a clinical examination administered by any state, national testing agency or other Board-recognized testing agency.

(2) The temporary license shall expire on the following date, whichever occurs first:

(a) Oregon is no longer the duty station of the active armed forces member; or

(b) The license in the state used to obtain a temporary license expires; or

(c) Two years after the issuance of the temporary license.

(3) This temporary license is not renewable. If the dates in section two of this rule are exceeded and the spouse continues to practice in Oregon, the spouse must apply for an active Oregon license. This license must be obtained using the processes and fees established for permanent licensure. Continuing to work in Oregon when the temporary license has expired will be considered practicing without a valid license and is subject to Board action.
