 Hello everyone, welcome back to a new session on dentist rainbow. So today's topic is dental auxiliary. So dental auxiliary is also known as dental ancillary. It is nothing but a people who assisted dentists in his clinical work so that dentist work will be easier. So let's see what is the definition given by Slack. A dental auxiliary is a person who is given responsibilities by a dentist so that he or she can help the dentist render dental care but who is not himself or herself qualified with a dental degree. It means that a person without a dental degree helping a dentist for more productive productive work for the dentist and the easier work for dentists. So it can be classified into operating and non-operating that we are going to see in later slides. So it is nothing but a person who is having responsibility to help dentists but who is not a dentist by himself. So classification, the whole health organization has classified into non-operating and operating classification. That is non-operating will be seeing first is clinical and laboratory. The name itself non-operating they won't operate on the patients. So clinical is a person who assists the dentist and his clinical work but does not carry out any independent procedures in the oral cavity. That is clinical but laboratory a person who assists the dentist by carrying out certain technical work. He might not be in the dental clinic. He might be working maybe from other areas maybe from other parts of the dental clinic but he will not have any much work inside the clinic or the patient. He is having a technical work on the dental fabrication or other things. So that is non-operating auxiliary. Whereas operating auxiliary it is a person who is not a professional but is permitted to carry out certain treatment procedures in the mouth and the direction and supervision of professional. This group of auxiliaries can work inside the mouth or can do some procedures but it should be supervision of a dentist. So level of supervision also we need to study which will be coming in later slides or maybe I'll do in a different video. So let's see what is the revised classification. It is non-operating or again classified into dental social assistant, dental secretary or receptionist, dental lab technician, dental health educator and operating auxiliaries as school dental nurse, dental therapist, dental hygienist and expanded function dental auxiliaries. It's a newer types of dental manpower or dental licensure, dental aids, community dental health coordinator or a preventive assistant and advanced dental hygienic practitioner. Let's see about non-operating dental auxiliaries. The first one is dental surgery assistant. So when the dentistry was started there was nobody was there to have a dentist. So a doctor Edmund Seacal's of New Orleans in 1885. First time he appointed a lady because why he appointed a lady? Because majority of his patients were very apprehensive and some of the women patients were not coming to his clinic. So to attract more women patients and to make his work easier to make his work more productive he appointed a lady. That lady he called as lady in attendance. So this is the first person or first dentist who kept a surgery assistant Dr. C. Edmund kills of New Orleans in 1885. So this is the first dental surgery assistant so who can help dentists in business office as well as a chair so they can perform non-technical work that do not require any much training. So dentists can meanwhile concentrate and devote full attention to care of patient. So what are the duties of dental surgery assistant? So dental surgery assistant is a non-operating auxiliaries who is having maximal responsibility inside the clinic. So mostly it will be a woman so in reception of patients. So this Edmund Seacal's during this period he introduced the local anesthetist who anesthesia was introduced in dentistry. So that was one of the another reason people were so much afraid of dentistry. So to make the people more comfortable he kept this lady in attendance. So what are the duties? First one was the reception of the patient then preparation of the patient for any treatment then giving them all necessary facilities such as mouthwash, napkins, sterilization of instruments and preparation of instruments and giving proper instructions to patients mixing of materials after treatment patient care and preparation of surgery for next patient and presentation of documents assistance with dental x-ray after care of GA patients. So these were the duties of dental surgery assistant. So this is a person most of us have seen in a dental clinic setup. So the second non-operating dental auxiliary is dental circuitry or receptionist. This is a person we face or we might see when we enter into a dental clinic. So this is the first person we are going to interact with. So it is a secretarial worker patient reception duties. He will be recording our names and other details and he'll record the data and then he will or she will introduce us to the dentist. So is a receptionist or secretary is basically doing secretarial and reception duties. So sometimes many of the clinics is not having a separate receptionist or the surgery assistant itself is doing a secretarial work. And the third part is dental ramp technician is a non-clinical because it's not coming exactly in the clinical side. It's a non-operating auxiliary fulfills the prescription provided by dentist regarding the extra construction and repair of oral appliances and bridge work. So this is how the prosthetic parts of a patient is done. So dentist will take the impression or make the procedures and send it for fabrication. So these group of dental non-operating auxiliary fulfill the construction of dentures and other fabrication works. So they are doing the casting of models and from impressions and fabrications of dentures, splints, orthodontic appliances in lace and crowns and specialties. Sometimes these impressions and these will be sent to outside lab or sometimes in-house lab will be there. So these are the third part that is dental lab technician. So the fourth one is dental health surgical which is not present in our country. The dentist itself is doing this role. So this is a person who instructs in prevention of dental disease and who may also be permitted to preventive agents permitted to apply preventive agents like go-rides and other piton-fisher sealants. So that's all about non-operating dental auxiliary. So I'll just have a recap. So the first one was dental secretary assistant that is don't forget that name Edmund, Dr. Edmund Sekels and lady in attendance. Then we have dental secretary, sorry dental receptionist or dental secretary or dental secretary and receptionist. The third one was dental lab technician. The fourth one is dental health educator. In our country we have dental lab technician, receptionist and dental secretary assistant and we don't have dental health educator. So in next session I'll be covering operating dental auxiliary. Thank you.
