Overview

Amid the ongoing legal proceedings before the Bombay High Court over the eligibility of dentists to perform aesthetic procedures, the Karnataka State Dental Council (KSDC) has specified that dentists practising facial aesthetic treatment and hair transplant procedures would be considered "Unethical Practice" and it would render a dentist unfit for the Dental Register.

However, issuing a notice in this regard on 02.01.2025, the President of the state dental council has further clarified that Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are exceptions to this rule. This means that dentists other than Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are not allowed to practice facial aesthetic treatment and hair transplant procedures.
