Classification of dental auxiliary personnel based on strata-training concepts.
Dental auxiliaries may be grouped into various vertical strata and horizontal levels according to their degree of training and education. The classification is designed so that the majority of known types of auxiliary personnel may be located within its structure. It is based on strata-training, with instruction in fundamental or 'core' subjects at each level of the strata. Additional training permits progression to a higher stratum and to more complex tasks. A model stratum-based training programme is described.
