Section 160. Inactive registration

A. Any dental assistant II who holds a current, unrestricted registration in Virginia may upon a request on the renewal application and submission of the required fee be issued an inactive registration. The holder of an inactive registration shall not be entitled to perform any act requiring registration to practice as a dental assistant II in Virginia.

B. An inactive registration may be reactivated upon submission of evidence of current certification from the Dental Assisting National Board or a national credentialing organization recognized by the American Dental Association. An applicant for reactivation shall also provide evidence of continuing clinical competence, which may include (i) documentation of active practice in another state or in federal service or (ii) a refresher course offered by a CODA accredited educational program.

C. The board reserves the right to deny a request for reactivation to any registrant who has been determined to have committed an act in violation of § 54.1-2706 of the Code.
