Expanding Duties

Advance to GP+scanning

The Advance to GP+scanning course is for the EDDA - Hygiene (or similar) who needs the duties of EDDA - GP + Ortho Scan

When the practice needs another Expanded Duties Dental Assistant chairside for the GP dentist, they may look inside the practice first.

Specifically, this course is for the EDDA – Hygiene who needs to upgrade to the level of EDDA – GP + Ortho Scan.

The Expanded Duties Dental Assistant with the EDDA – Hygiene certificate will also have the Advance to GP+ certificate. These two certificates will allow the EDDA to perform all of the duties of the EDDA – GP + Ortho Scanning assistant.

The Expanded Duties covered in the Advance to GP+ course are listed below:

Place cavity liner, base or varnish over unexposed pulp.
Apply desensitizing agents to root surfaces of teeth and prepared dentinal surfaces of teeth prior to cementation of temporary restorations and crowns, bridges, or inlays.
Changing of bleaching agent, following initial applications by the dentist, during the bleaching process of vital and non-vital teeth after the placement of a rubber dam; and applying the fiber-optic light source of a curing light for activation of the bleach (not to include the use of a laser device).

Packing and removing retraction cord, as prescribed by the dentist, so long as said cord is used solely for restorative dental procedures.
Intraoral fabrication of temporary crowns and bridges. All such adjustments must be performed extraorally.
Digital scans for fabrication orthodontic appliances and models.
