摘要：

Dental therapists are now permitted to work in all sectors of dentistry (from 1 July 2002).The NHS Plan encourages greater use of PCDs within dentistry.In general, dentists have little knowledge of the training and work practices of dental therapists.Therapists are a relatively small group of PCDs – only 453 in the GDC register (December 2001).Acceptance of therapists by GDPs is crucial to their employment in general dental practice.
