NON-DISCIPLINARY Ms. Reitz explained that the first document for review had been included with the consent agreements but that it was a bit different in nature. She stated that the document was an attestation from a dentist who wants to agree to not physically practice clinical dentistry and has not actively practiced dentistry since 2006. She stated that he would like to keep his license only in a supervisory capacity for administrative functions to keep his practice. Ms. Carson further clarified that the dentist in question currently owns a dental practice, he does not work in the dental practice but wants to continue to manage or be the supervising dental manager of the office. She stated that his intention is to hire dentists to perform the clinical functions of the office while he remains in an administrative capacity.

Dr. Howard explained that the dentist in question will not be directly supervising dental hygienists in his practice but rather he would be administrating the practice. Ms. Reitz further explained that under Ohio law, the owner
