The Dentists Act served as the foundational legal framework regulating dental education and practice in India for several decades. Enacted in 1948, it governed the functioning of the Dental Council of India until recent reforms replaced it with the National Dental Commission. The repeal of this Act represents a major step toward modernizing the regulatory structure. By moving away from an older system, the government aims to improve transparency, ensure better standards in dental education, and align India's healthcare framework with global best practices.
