Which of the following actions can result in disciplinary measures by the dental Board?

The action that can result in disciplinary measures by the dental Board is committing violations of the relevant laws, regulations, or Board rules. In the context of dental practice, this encompasses a wide range of behaviors, including unethical practices, failure to adhere to safety standards, fraudulent activities, or any actions that compromise the integrity of dental practice as outlined by the state’s dental regulations.

Committing violations directly undermines the authority of the Board and can negatively affect both patient safety and the quality of care provided. As such, the Board has a duty to enforce compliance and can impose various disciplinary actions, such as fines, license suspension, or revocation, in order to protect the public and maintain standards within the profession.

Other actions such as failing to respond to patient surveys, having a higher-than-average turnover of staff, or receiving complaints from patients may reflect issues within a dental practice but do not directly constitute violations of legal standards or Board rules. While these actions could lead to investigations or audits, they are not inherently violations deserving of disciplinary measures unless they are found to correlate with a specific rule or regulation breach.
