Medical Conditions Questions
Questions 24 through 29 pertain to medical conditions and use of chemical substances. Please read the denitions carefully. Your
responses will be treated condentially and retained separately. Please be aware that you have the right to elect not to answer those
portions of the following questions which inquire as to the illegal use of controlled dangerous substances or activity if you have
reasonable cause to believe that answering may expose you to the possibility of criminal prosecution. In that event, you may assert
the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Any claim of Fifth Amendment privilege must be made in good faith. If
you choose to assert the Fifth Amendment, you must do so in writing. You must fully respond to all other questions on the application.
Your application for licensure will be processed if you claim the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. You should
be aware, however, that you may later be directed by the Attorney General to answer a question that you have refused to answer on
the basis of the Fifth Amendment, provided that the Attorney General rst grants you immunity afforded by statutory law. (N.J.S.A.
45:1-20.)
“Ability to practice dentistry” is to be construed to include all of the following:
a. The cognitive capacity to exercise reasonable dental judgments and to learn and keep abreast of professional developments;
b. The ability to communicate those judgments and related information to patients and other interested parties, with or without
the use of aids or devices, such as voice ampliers; and
c. The physical capability to perform the duties of a dentist, with or without the use of aids or devices, such as corrective lenses
or hearing aids.
“Medical Condition” includes physiological, mental or psychological conditions or disorders, such as, but not limited to orthopedic,
visual, speech and hearing impairments, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease,
diabetes, mental retardation, emotional or mental illness, specic learning disabilities, H.I.V. disease, tuberculosis, drug addiction
and alcoholism.
“Chemical substance” is to be construed to include alcohol, drugs or medications, including those taken pursuant to a valid
prescription for legitimate medical purposes and in accordance with the prescriber's direction, as well as those used illegally.
“Currently” does not mean on the day of, or even in the weeks or months preceding the completion of this application. Rather, it
means recently enough so that the use of drugs may have an ongoing impact on one's functioning as a licensee, or within the
previous two years.
“Illegal use of controlled dangerous substance” means the use of a controlled dangerous substance obtained illegally (e.g. heroin
or cocaine) as well as the use of controlled dangerous substances which are not obtained pursuant to a valid prescription or not taken
in accordance with the directions of a licensed health care practitioner.
24. Do you have a medical condition which in any way impairs or limits your ability to practice your profession with reasonable
skill and safety? Yes No
25. Are the limitations or impairments caused by your medical condition reduced or ameliorated because you receive ongoing
treatment (with or without medications) or participate in a monitoring program**?
Yes No Not applicable
26. Are the limitations or impairments caused by your medical condition reduced or ameliorated because of the eld of practice,
the setting or manner in which you have chosen to practice? Yes No Not applicable
27. Does your use of chemical substance(s) in any way impair or limit your ability to practice your profession with reasonable skill
and safety? Yes No Not applicable
28. Have you ever been diagnosed as having or have you ever been treated for pedophilia, exhibitionism or voyeurism?
Yes No
29. Are you currently engaged in the illegal use of controlled dangerous substances? (Recall that “currently” is dened as “within
the last two years.”) Yes No
If you answered “Yes” to question 29, are you currently participating in a supervised rehabilitation program or professional
assistance program which monitors you in order to assure that you are not engaging in the illegal use of controlled dangerous
substances? Yes No
** If you receive such ongoing treatment or participate in such a monitoring program, the Board will make an individualized
assessment of the nature, the severity and the duration of the risks associated with an ongoing medical condition so as to determine
whether an unrestricted license or certicate should be issued, whether conditions should be imposed or whether you are not
eligible for licensure or certication.

the orientation. This will assist the Board with compiling your materials in a timely manner
