I would like to voice my concerns on the DAII issue. I am in favor of course work and training developed which would allow dentists to utilize DA II to provide additional levels of care under the supervision of a dentist. Specifically, I would like to see these assistants able to do the following:
1. Place and carve amalgams or composites
2. Pack and remove retraction cord for impression procedures.
3. Make temporary crowns. Adjust the temporaries. Cement the temporaries and remove the temporary cement.
