Any dentist, who is a graduate of an accredited dental school and is serving only as a resident, intern or graduate student dentist and who is not licensed to practice dentistry in this state, shall be required to obtain from the board of dentistry a temporary or special license to practice as a resident, intern or graduate dentist. The license shall be designated "Resident Dentist License" and shall authorize the licensee to serve as a resident, intern or graduate student only, under the supervision of a licensed practitioner of dentistry, in an institution approved for this purpose by the board. Such license shall be valid for one year and may be renewed at the discretion of the board. The fee for this license and the annual renewal fee shall be set by the board based upon the cost of issuance of the license. The board shall determine in each instance those eligible for this license, whether or not examinations shall be given, and the type of examination. No requirements of the law pertaining to regular permanent licensure shall be mandatory for this resident licensure except as specifically designated by the board. The granting of a resident dentist's license does not in any way indicate that the person so licensed is necessarily eligible for regular licensure, nor is the board in any way obligated to so license such individual. The board may revoke said license at any time it shall determine either that the caliber of work done by a licensee or the type of supervision being given such licensee does not conform to reasonable standards established by the board.
