Denturist practice act.
HB 139 establishes denturists as a licensed profession in Wyoming, creating new requirements for their practice and adding them to the Board of Dental Examiners. Denturists must work under a dentist's supervision, perform only dental laboratory work as directed by a dentist via written prescription, and cannot provide general dental care. The bill exempts denturist students completing curriculum work and specifies that denturists may only provide services if trained in an accredited program and supervised by a dentist.
