AN ACT CONCERNING DENTISTRY.

Summary

The bill replaces the existing Section 20‑112a with new definitions for dental assistants and expanded‑function dental assistants, sets education and certification standards, and mandates liability insurance. It allows dentists to delegate specific tasks—like x‑rays, impressions, fluoride varnish, temporary restorations, sealants, and oral‑health education—to these assistants under direct or indirect supervision. The changes aim to improve patient safety and clarify the scope of practice.
