British Dental Journal volume 174, pages 111–112 (1993)Cite this article

Abstract

Expanded roles for chairside assistants, infrequent use of amalgam, and dental technician courses over-subscribed by three to one.

On our journey to the far east we would be greeted with many surprises, especially in dental practice and hygienist education
