(1)For the purpose of any examinations to qualify for a degree or licence in dentistry held by—
(a)any university in England or Wales, Scotland or Ireland,
(b)the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh,
(c)the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, or
(d)the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland,
the Council or other governing body of the university or college may appoint a board of examiners.
(2)Each of those boards shall be called the Board of Examiners in Dental Surgery or Dentistry, and shall consist of not less than six members, of whom at least one half shall be registered dentists; and nothing in any enactment, charter or other document shall make it necessary for them to possess any other qualification.
(3)Persons appointed under this section shall continue in office for such period, and shall conduct the examinations in such manner, as the governing body appointing them may by byelaws or regulations direct.
(4)A casual vacancy in any such board of examiners may be filled by the governing body which appointed the board and the person so appointed—
(a)shall be a registered dentist if the person in whose place he is appointed was a registered dentist, and
(b)shall hold office for such time only as that other person would have held office.
(5)Such reasonable fees shall be paid for a degree or licence awarded after examination by a board of examiners under this section as the governing body by whom they were appointed may by byelaws or regulations direct and the degrees or licences awarded after examination by the board of examiners shall be in such form as that governing body may so direct.
(6)All byelaws and regulations made by a dental authority under this section, and any further byelaws or regulations altering or revoking them, shall be made in such manner, and subject to such approval or confirmation, if any, as in the case of other byelaws or regulations made by that dental authority.
