Applying to have an exclusion on your Dental Therapy Scope of Practice Removed
With effect from Thursday 17 March 2011, the scope of Dental Therapy Practice has been amended to include (with the exception of the additional
scope of Adult Care in Dental Therapy Practice), what in the past were referred to as Additional Scopes - being:
- Pulpotomies;
- Stainless Steel Crowns;
- Radiography; and
- Diagnostic Radiography.
From this date onwards, those dental therapy practitioners who are not qualified in any of Pulpotomies, Stainless Steel Crowns, Radiography
and/or Diagnostic Radiography, will have exclusions placed upon their scope of practice to reflect that they are not qualified to practice in
these areas, for example ' 'Dental Therapy Practice excludes Pulpotomies'.
To remove an exclusion from his or her registered scope of practice a dental therapy practitioner can undertake a Dental Council
approved course upon the successful completion of which the practitioner may apply to
the Dental Council to have the relevant exclusion on his or her scope of practice removed.
Application Form
The application form REG004 must be completed and submitted to the Dental Council together with
the required supporting documentation and fees in order for an exclusion to be removed from a practitioner's
registered dental therapy scope of practice.
Please Note
The additional scope of Adult Care in Dental Therapy Practice remains a stand alone additional scope available to appropriately qualified
registered dental therapy practitioners.
