WRITTEN QUESTION E-2698/98

by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission

(1 September 1998)

Subject: Dispute between Italy and the Commission regarding stomatological and orthodontic care

With regard to the serious problems caused in Italy by the distinction between the register of dentists and the register of surgeons, in which doctors specialised in dentistry and in odontostomatology are registered, can the Commission say:

1. whether in any Member States other than Italy, doctors practising dentistry belong to the same professional body;

2. whether in France and Luxembourg there are regulations governing "activities involving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of ...(...)... the teeth, mouth, jaws ..." carried out by dentists who are not doctors or by doctors (whether or not specialising in stomatology) practising either in the public sector or privately, and also whether exceeding any such restrictions on the right to practise constitutes a criminal offence or merely an aggravating factor in cases of malpractice?
