It would be great if this passed and it is long overdue. Last time my assistants and I checked into it, there was not even a program available to produce a DAII.  I have two assistants who have been in dentistry over 20 years who would love to extend their skills. It would be a great help to the office and I have all confidence that they would do an excellent job. If these assistants with experience can pass the needed test I see no reason they could not do the job.
