Objects and Reasons.
The object is to protect the public against the practice of dentistry by unqualified persons. The Bill accordingly declares what shall qualify for the practice of dentistry in Hongkong and requires all persons so qualified to be registered before practising.
In order to prevent evasion of the Ordinance by the formation of companies of unqualified persons to carry on dental practice the Bill makes it unlawful for a company to practise dentistry except by means of managers, as- sistants, and persons who are duly registered dentists.
The 15th Section of the Bill applies only to the carrying on by companies of dental practice. It does not apply to the carrying on of the purely mechanical portion of a dentist's business, such as the manufacture, sale, and repair of mechanical appliances. The Bill applies to existing as well as future companies, and to companies limited by guarantee as well as to ordinary joint stock companies.
