Dental CT Scanner Facility Permit application

Any PEI dental facility employing qualified dentists who operate a dental CT scanner must have a valid Dental CT Scanner Facility Permit issued by PEIDC. The permit is subject to annual renewal during the registration renewal period.

The permit is connected to the specific dental CT scanner installed at the location on the original application and cannot be transferred from one location to another or to a new/different dental CT scanner at the same facility.

Permit types

There are two types of CT facility permits:

  • Dentoalveolar CT Facility Permit: allows qualified registered dentists practising at the facility to prescribe, order, take, interpret and report on dental CT scans with a field of view of 8 centimetres or less.
  • Craniofacial CT Facility Permit: allows qualified registered dentists practising at the facility to prescribe, order, take, interpret and report on dental CT scans with a field of view greater than 8 centimetres.

A facility may apply for one or both permit types.

Fees and annual renewal

The annual application fee for each permit type is $250. Application fee is non-refundable and cannot be prorated or adjusted based on the date the facility permit is issued.

All facility permits expire 31 March each year regardless of the initial date of issuance and must be renewed during the renewal period.
