What is the primary limitation of a provisional license issued to faculty members of educational institutions?

The primary limitation of a provisional license issued to faculty members of educational institutions is that they are restricted to practicing within the facilities of the educational institution. This restriction is designed to ensure that faculty members are operating in a controlled environment where educational standards and oversight are maintained. By confining their practice to the institution, it helps to safeguard the quality of dental education and ensures that faculty can focus on teaching and supervising students without the pressures or complications that may arise from practicing in external clinics or private practice settings.

This limitation also reflects the purpose of the provisional license, which is primarily to allow qualified individuals to teach and provide care in an academic environment, rather than to operate independently in the broader dental marketplace. As such, the provisional license is closely tied to the faculty member's role in education and training within the institution's framework.
