title: How Will the U.S. Supreme Court's Decision in North Carolina Dental Affect the Regulation of the Professions?
abstract: The contract between the public and the professions is between two parties; so it is reasonable to expect that there might be at least two perspectives when a ruling is given regarding the interpretation of the contract. The Citizen Advocacy Center recently convened a conference to look at the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the functioning of the North Carolina Dental Board in balancing protection of the public with availability of oral health services. New questions are being asked.
