BOSTON -- The highest court in Massachusetts has upheld the state's decision to revoke the license of a dentist accused in Rhode Island of stealing thousands of dollars from patients. Gary Anusavice was accused of billing patients for services they didn't receive at his Pawtucket business, Premier Dental. In 2005, Rhode Island Health Department suspended his license and ordered him to close his office in Pawtucket. The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Dentistry later revoked Anusavice's license to practice in its state. Anusavice appealed that decision. But on Friday, the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts said dental regulators can discipline a dentist in Massachusetts based on discipline imposed on him in Rhode Island. Read the 2005 Rhode Island consent order in the matter. -- The Associated Press
