B.Sc. Dental Technology
Dental technologists are members of the dental health team who work in laboratories to construct and repair dental devices used in orthodontic treatment, such as bridgework and dentures. Dental Technicians are healthcare professionals whose scope of work includes the design, construction, repair or alteration of dental appliances or devices. Dental technologists also supervise the technical aspects of dental laboratory operation.
Dental Technologist is a regulated health care profession. The dental technologists autonomously perform the full scope of dental technology practice and supervise the technical aspects of dental laboratory operation. The dentists will send the impression, along with the prescription to the laboratory of a dental technologist, where the design and/or fabrication, repair of the prescribed prosthesis takes place.
While working in separate locations, dental technologists and dentists work closely together as a team. Dentists rely on dental technologists' professional judgment in the filling of prescriptions, including:
- Assessing and interpreting prescriptions;
- Consulting to jointly consider changes that are beneficial to the patient;
- Determining the shape and contours, material and methods of production
