Author's Note: This paper was presented in April, 1990 at the 2nd National Conference on Special Care Issues in Dentistry. Since that time, Congress has adopted the Americans With Disabilities Act (the Act), Although the paper has been edited to include a brief discussion of the Act, it does not fully explore the legal ramifications of the Act and the significant effect the Act will have in replacing state and local laws that regulate discrimination in the dental office.
