One reason for the nationwide shortage of dental assistants is lack of professional recognition. This lack of recognition stems from the fact that, unlike dentistry and dental hygiene, dental assisting has no nationally standardized, mandatory requirements for education and credentialing. Dentists acknowledge that the lack of professional recognition is a reason dental assistants frequently give for leaving the profession, as well as a barrier for potential assistants who might enter the profession.

This paper reports on an articulation model for dental radiography instruction developed by a task force composed of dental assisting and dental hygiene educators, with the assistance of various committees and groups. The task force participants determined that core courses in didactics, preclinical laboratory study, and clinical radiography should be identical for dental assistants and dental hygiene students. They also determined that an additional course was necessary for dental hygiene students to develop adequate skills in interpreting radiographs to meet the level presently required by national and regional examinations.
