This chapter does not apply to the following:
(1) Any commissioned officer of the regular United States armed
services, United States Public Health Service, or United States
Department of Veterans Affairs in the discharge of the officer's
official duties.
(2) Any dentist who is legally qualified to practice in the state or
territory where the dentist resides, when in actual consultation
with a legal practitioner of Indiana.
(3) Any dentist residing on the border of a neighboring state and
authorized to practice dentistry under the laws of the state whose
practice extends into the border of Indiana; however, such
practitioner shall not open an office or appoint a place to meet
patients or solicit practice within Indiana.
(4) Any dentist who is licensed in another state while appearing
as a clinician for demonstrating certain methods of technical
procedures before a meeting, clinic, or convention of Indiana
dentists; however, no fee, cash, or money reimbursement,
consideration, or remuneration of any kind is paid directly or
indirectly or by any subterfuge, to such clinician by or for the
person used as a patient in such clinic or demonstration.
(5) Licensed physicians or surgeons who are authorized to take
x-ray pictures of the human teeth or jaws, to extract teeth, and to

or residence or within the vicinity of their ordinary practice,
whenever, in their judgment, the same may be necessary. This
exception shall not apply to itinerant licensed physicians and

physicians and surgeons and are, in fact and effect, practicing
dentistry almost exclusively.
