2. (b) As used in section 1640(c) of the code, the term “specialty board” means a dental specialty board approved by the American Dental Association.
3. (c) As used in Section 1642 of the code, the term “affiliated institution” for purposes of fee for service practice by the holder of a special permit, means any setting or institution affiliated with the dental college and approved by the board, other than a private dental office. This definition shall not be interpreted to preclude a special permit holder from providing instruction in a private dental office as part of a dental school curriculum if that dental office has been approved by the board as an extramural facility.
