YES to Dental Assistant Expanded Functions
 

Please allow expanded function Dental Assistant II's to scale and polish patients that have been diagnosed by a licensed dentist as a periodontal case Type I patient, under direct supervision.

If there is proper training and supervision I see no reason why this should not pass.
