Dental Professionals Hearings Service determination — interim orders hearing
Interim restrictions extended — 15 months
The regulator’s term: interim order extended
What does “interim restrictions extended” mean?
An existing interim order has been extended for a further period while the investigation continues.
Concerning Abhinay Rao Settipalli, dentist (General Dental Council 271410).
Decision date: 9 April 2026 · Hearing started 9 April 2026
In plain English
The GDC tribunal decided that the Interim Orders Committee would continue the interim suspension on Mr Settipalli's registration for the remainder of the original 15-month order, with a review in 6 months. The interim order was originally imposed on 30 October 2025. An interim order is a precautionary measure put in place while the case is being looked into; it is not a final finding about Mr Settipalli's fitness to practise.
