What is the maximum CE credit per biennium for pro bono patient services?

• A. 6 hours
• B. 1 CE credit per hour of patient services, with a maximum of 4 hours per biennium
• C. 11 hours for completing 5 cases per biennium
• D. 3 hours maximum

Answer: (A)

Pro bono dental work can count toward continuing education, but there is a strict limit. The maximum CE credit for pro bono patient services is six hours per biennium, with the biennium defined as the two-year licensing period. This setup recognizes the value of charitable care while ensuring the overall CE requirements remain balanced. It’s not based on a per-hour credit that would exceed a small cap, nor is it tied to a specific number of cases; the rule caps the total at six hours.
