CT HB06147

Dentists may delegate any dental procedure they deem advisable to a dental assistant, provided the assistant works under direct supervision and the dentist assumes responsibility

Dental assistants may take x-rays if they have passed the Dental Assisting National Board's radiation health and safety examination or an equivalent competency assessment from an ADA-accredited institution

Delegable procedures specifically include taking impressions of teeth for study models and providing fluoride varnish treatments

All delegated procedures must be performed under the direct supervision of the delegating dentist
