(1) an active license from a board of dental examiners established under the laws of a state or territory of the United States issued after thorough examination; or

(2) passed an examination as specified by the board in regulations.

(b) A dentist applying for licensure without examination is responsible for providing to the board all materials required by the board to implement this section to establish eligibility for a license without examination. In addition to the grounds for revocation of a license under AS 08.36.315, the board may revoke a license issued without examination upon evidence of misinformation or substantial omission.
