DA II use of highspeed handpiece intraorally
 

Although I have great respect for the role that each person on the dental team plays to support the oral and systemic health of our patients, I also recognize the limitations of each position.  I do NOT support the use of high speed handpieces intraorally by DAII. Use of the highspeed handpiece requires great skill and control.  This has the potential to put the public we serve at risk.
