Denturist practice act.
HB 243 establishes a licensing framework for denturists in Wyoming, creating a new profession category under the existing dental licensing system. The bill requires denturists to complete accredited training programs, work under a dentist's supervision, and provide services only through written prescriptions from dentists. It also adds denturists to the Board of Dental Examiners and specifies that dental laboratories must follow written work authorizations. This directly affects denturists (who gain regulated practice), dentists (who must issue prescriptions), and dental labs (requiring formal written orders for work). The bill does not apply to students performing denturism as part of their curriculum.
