The Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Dental Technology.

The Dental Act 1988 included requirements for the registration of clinical dental technicians, a new category of dental health worker. Despite the Act containing provision for a course of training in clinical dental technology, 11 years elapsed before the first candidates would graduate in this discipline. This paper describes the development and implementation of the new Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Dental Technology, PGDipCDTech(Otago). Diplomates of the inaugural course in 1999 were the first students, other than students of dentistry, to obtain a clinical qualification from the School of Dentistry. Overall the course was very successful, but the provisions of the Dental Act inhibit flexible approaches to the teaching of clinical dental technology.
