Bootleg Dental Labs Recent resurgence of bootleg dentistry primarily in the ting of false teeth has ed a area tist to ask that the problem be brought to the public's attention I've had at least 10 patients come to me in recent said Dr Santina R Litturi to be refitted with dentures All of them had dealt with these dental laboratories which are not ified or licensed to prescribe and fit dentures Dr Robert F Tuck a dentist and ident of the Chicago Dental Society said that Illinois law requires that dentures be ted by a duly licensed dentist and that to his knowledge no laboratory in the city has such a dentist on its staff Dr Litturi who that there are at least 50 bootleg dental labs in Chicago lays the root of the recent problem to the application of the four per cent sales tax to dental products MANY DENTISTS began sending their work out of state to avoid this tax and this forced the legitimate ies to cut their staffs or dis- solve completely It's the out- employes who have set up their own labs and at- tempt to fit the customers themselves Dr Litturi added that these laboratories will present a blance of legitimacy by ing graduate dentists from for- eign countries But their educational ground and abilities do not qualify them for licensing un- der the requirements of the State of she added 50 Mile Hikers Give 32 Miles I believe there are some 65 lady dentists from Latvia here in Chicago whose training does not meet our standards and they liave been unable to obtain an Illinois license to practice The risks involved in dealing with unqualified dental labs as opposed to licensed dentists run from vague irritation to the gums caused by ill-fitting tures to serious complications There is some evidence that con- irritation of the gums might even result lrl cancer A
