OHIO STATE DENTAL BOARD BOARD MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 2009 PAGE 4 Discussion continued as to whether the Board still had access to the notes that were taken at the August meeting and whether the Board should consider tabling the approval of the August minutes pending review of the meeting notes. Dr. Armstrong made the recommendation to the Board to make one of two decisions regarding the August minutes. He stated that the Board could choose to postpone approval of the minutes indefinitely or until the next meeting to allow Ms. Franks time to review the notes from the meeting and provide the Board with the information regarding the Board motion and vote. He then stated that the second option that the Board could consider would be to make a motion to reconsider the Boards motion regarding the Ad Hoc Board Operations recommendations. Further discussion ensued wherein it was decided to postpone approval of the minutes rather than reconsider the Boards motion regarding committee recommendations. Dr. Kaye commented that HB 215 does not exist anymore and as such the Board’s position its moot. However, he stated that the Board must now develop a position on Sub HB 215. Motion by Dr. Kyger, second by Dr. Leffler, to postpone voting on approval of the August Board meeting minutes indefinitely. Motion carried unanimously.

He informed the Board that he has been practicing two (2) days per week for seven (7) hours and another day per week for six (6) hours for a total of twenty (20) hours. He stated that he has an associate to cover the rest of the hours. Continuing on, Dr. Babics informed the Board members that he had lost his mother during this time and was thankful that he was sober in order to deal with it. He stated that had he still been using the Ambien or Xanex he probably would not have handled it very well. He stated that he is grateful to be sober and practicing and looks forward to it every day. Dr. Babics commented that he was unsure about lifting the limitations of only practicing for twenty (20) hours. He stated that he no longer has issues with anxiety or panic attacks which were initially the cause of his problems. Mr. Lawrence stated that the Board is in favor of lifting the hourly limitations on his practice but questioned whether Dr. Babics would be more in favor of limiting his practice to thirty (30) hours based on his comments. Dr. Babics stated that he would rather the Board release him from the limitations if only to allow him to practice during those times when his associate might want to take vacations. Motion by Mr. Lawrence, second by Mr. Jones, to fully reinstate the license of Michael D. Babics, D.D.S. to practice dentistry in the state of Ohio with no limitations on the number of practice hours and pursuant to the terms of his consent agreement with the Board. Motion carried.
