What is an specialist?

According to Costa Rican Law, The Costa Rican Board of Dentists rules every
Dentist in the Country. According to that Board , an specialist is a dentist who, after the regular six
years of Dentistry, Studied at least two more years (full time) of an specific
branch of dentistry. This has to be certified by the Costa Rican Board of
Dentists, that review the program and the University that offered the specialty
(some programs may not be accepted as specialty, if they do not reach a degree
of excellence).
The Costa Rican Board of Dentists prohibits (article 29th, Code of Ethics) the
dentists to announce as an Specialist, if they have not accomplished those
requirements.
