Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University, Henry M. Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry, 1983 (Dental Public Health). / Includes bibliographical references (leaf 27). / The American Dental Association has specified requirements for dental assisting students’ clinical experiences. Dental assisting programs which are not located within dental schooIs must utilize extramural clinical facilities to provide required clinical experience for their students.
A survey of fifty five directors of dental assisting programs in the northeastern United States was conducted to gather information relevant to extramural clinical facilities. The results indicated that the majority of programs used extramural programs but there was a variation in the methods of clinical training.
This study examined the type of extramural facilities utilized, the dental specialties practiced at each site, contractual and evaluation procedures, and clinical requirements of dental assistant students.
