any further action by the Board, issue an order of summary suspension of the
license of the dentist who owns the dental practice conducted at the office and
the licenses of any or all of the other licensees employed at the office
pending proceedings for revocation or other action. An order of summary

suspension. The President of the Board shall not participate in any further
proceedings relating to the order.

Board may reinspect the office of the holder of a certificate of site approval
at any time.
